Hi - I’m Franz from FRANZWORKS. Or rather, Franzi.
I develop craft instructions for children – preferably using natural finds or things that would otherwise end up in the trash: from walnut shells to plastic flotsam washed up on the beach. I like the idea that you don't need much to have fun and create something beautiful.

My journey here has been as colorful as my craft supplies: an apprenticeship in packaging design, studies in illustration and later in communication design with a focus on photography, plus work as a photo editor and photographer – and even a stint as a primary school teacher during the pandemic. Today, all of this flows into my creative studio, FRANZWORKS. Over the past ten years, I've published numerous DIY tutorials in magazines and books, produced DIY content for brands, and am currently working on my first book. Until now, you could mainly discover my projects on Instagram and YouTube – and now, my shop finally offers complete tutorials with templates for download. Perfect for rainy days, crafting afternoons, or those spontaneous "we-need-an-idea-right-now!" moments.

It's great that you're here! Make yourself comfortable and have fun browsing - more and more will be added here gradually.

My clients include, among others, Disney, Kaufland, NIDO, Geolino, Zeit LEO, Eltern, Brigitte Mom, Carlsen Verlag, Westermann Verlag, Milupa, Folia, Rico Design, CENTAUR, and Enercity AG.
