I’m so happy to introduce you to my friend Paula, the creative heart behind Paula McNulty Designs, a small artisan brand that creates handmade fantasy jewelry and whimsical hair accessories inspired by folklore, fairytales, and imagination.
Paula’s designs have the kind of magic that makes you pause and smile. She handcrafts fairy wing earrings, polymer clay hair accessories, and fantasy-inspired tiaras, each one made with care and intention. Every piece feels like a treasure from another realm, and no two are ever exactly alike. Whether you’re dressing for a Renaissance Faire, preparing for a fairy festival or Cosplay Con, or just adding a little sparkle to your day, Paula’s creations invite you to wear a touch of everyday magic.
What makes this collaboration especially meaningful is that Paula and I are both small business owners based on Long Island. Supporting local makers and building genuine creative connections close to home is something we both value deeply, which makes this partnership feel extra special.
Paula began her journey while raising her four boys, turning her love of bead embroidery into a small handmade business that grew from her kitchen table.
What started as a creative outlet soon became Paula McNulty Designs, a beloved brand for anyone who loves art, fantasy, and storytelling. Over time, she fell in love with polymer clay, using it to sculpt hair accessories that look like they belong in a fairytale. Each piece is handcrafted by Paula in her home studio, one bead and one crystal at a time.
What makes Paula’s jewelry so special is its versatility.
Her fantasy-inspired hair accessories and artisan jewelry can complete an elaborate festival look, yet they’re delicate enough to bring subtle whimsy to your everyday style. Her butterfly wing earrings catch the light beautifully, and her polymer clay designs seem to hold stories within them.
Each creation connects you to your own imagination, creativity, and the quiet magic that lives in handmade art.
They’re perfect for Renaissance Faire costumes, cosplay and fantasy conventions, unique fantasy gifts for her, or simply adding a whimsical touch to your daily wardrobe.
If you or someone you love feels a connection to fantasy, folklore, and the beauty of nature, Paula’s creations will feel right at home in your world.
Her handcrafted artisan jewelry captures the same quiet magic found in mossy forests, moonlight, and timeless stories. Each piece is carefully shaped, beaded, and finished by hand. You can see and feel the intention in every curve and color choice. Her jewelry isn’t just something you wear; it’s something you feel.
It becomes part of your ritual, a gentle reminder of who you are and what inspires you. Many customers say Paula’s fantasy-inspired earrings and hair accessories seem to hold a bit of energy, a sense of calm and confidence that lingers long after you put them on. These pieces also make thoughtful fantasy gifts for her, perfect for anyone who loves fairytales, mythical stories, or Renaissance Faires. Whether it’s a birthday, handfasting, or a simple token of affection, Paula’s jewelry is made to celebrate the magic that lives in all of us.
