Flet.Studio is a Danish tradition— Designed and made in Detroit.

I grew up weaving paper hearts in Denmark. Today, I design them in Detroit.

In the early days, I cut every heart by hand. Today, each piece is precisely die-cut — an intentional refinement that makes the weaving smooth, clean, and effortless.

Flet.Studio brings a Scandinavian tradition of slow, intentional craft into everyday life — thoughtfully redesigned for modern hands.

Flet means “to weave.” Two flat pieces become something dimensional and meaningful.

In Denmark, this paper craft is part of winter — woven slowly, often by candlelight, as a small gesture of care and connection.
For me, it’s a way to bring a sense of hygge into your home year-round.

From Denmark to Detroit

In 2018, I made a new home in Detroit with my husband, Ted Shumaker. In 2021, our daughter Adelin was born — right in the heart of weaving season.

When I shared the craft at her birthday, I realized no one here knew it. That quiet moment became the beginning of Flet.Studio.

Each woven paper heart is offered as a thoughtfully designed DIY kit — a set of six to hang, to gift, or to keep.

Inside: precisely die-cut heart pieces, hanger stickers, and clear instructions. Everything needed to begin.

Craft & Collaboration

I work closely with the local print house Inland Press in Detroit to ensure every detail — from the softness of the matte paper to the precision of each cut — honors the craftsmanship behind every heart.

Color palettes and designs were shaped in collaboration with artist Lisbet Krøll in Copenhagen.

I’m also deeply grateful to my sister Marianne for her steady belief, to Lindsay for reminding me of the beauty in paper art, and to Sophie for nudging me toward the simple and perfect name — Flet.

A Small Ritual

Through Flet.Studio, I share a small piece of Denmark.

I hope these woven hearts bring calm, creativity, and connection into your home.

Simple materials. Small rituals. A reminder that something beautiful can grow from something simple.
