17-year-old making £15k a month with sticker business – thanks to Xmas gift

A 17-year-old teenager is making nearly £15,000 a month with his personalised sticker business – thanks to a craft kit he got for Christmas from his mum. Caelan McDonald was given a £150 Cricut Joy – a digital drawing, cutting and printing machine – for Christmas two years ago by mum Karen Newsham, 49. He started printing transfers which he stuck on glassware and acrylic – and when he shared them on Facebook he started getting commissions for personalised items. At the start of 2024 he was selling around 200 personalised items a month – featuring the transfers he made at home – working three hours a day after college. He’s quit school – investing in huge industrial printers – and since July he’s sold £74,000 of goods on TikTok shop and other platforms. Caelan’s best seller this Christmas is a bauble featuring personalised angel wings, and last year it was snow globe tumblers. The lad – who works 16 hour days six days a week – is on track to make £100,000 worth of sales by the end of the financial year, he says.
