CHOOSE GREEN, CELEBRATE CLEAN
Every Dragonfly Cracker is a celebration of craft, sustainability and joy — from lake-harvested hyacinth to hand-tied bows, made with care by Kenyan artisans.
FROM LAKE TO TABLESCAPE
What once clogs Kenya’s waterways become a possibility. Our hyacinth paper is handmade in small batches — harvested, pulped, sun-dried and transformed into richly textured sheets that wrap every cracker. Proof that beauty can rise from what’s removed.
Transforming Waste Into Wonder
We turn discarded materials into meaningful, handcrafted creations. Every cracker we produce reflects our commitment to sustainability, creativity and purposeful design—giving new life to what others overlook and transforming it into something joyful, beautiful and worth celebrating.
CRAFT USING KRAFT
Hand-printed Slow & Steady
This is slow craft in its purest form, where every detail is touched by human hands, not machines.
Every pattern you see on our crackers was pulled by hand —one screen, one colour, one careful pass at a time. Screen printing demands patience: the paper must dry, the screen must be washed and the next layer must wait its turn.
The art of making, done the long way
We have been crafting crackers this way for years — slowly, thoughtfully and always with intention. Every sheet of hyacinth paper, every roll of kraft, every ribbon in our studio is treated like it matters. Nothing is taken for granted. It’s the only way we know how to work: honour the materials, honour the hands that shape them and create joy without waste.
PRINTED WITH CARE
Our prints come to life through carefully, hand-pulled and screen printed — using eco-friendly, EU certified inks that are vivid, safe and gentle on the planet.
No machines. No shortcuts. Just colour laid one layer at a time by Artisans who know that good things take time and when your order is ready, it’s packed in our signature handmade newspaper bags — folded and screen-printed in our studio.
What began as a waste-reducing idea has become part of who we are: recognisable, resourceful and proudly handmade.

REUSE BEGINS AT HOME
Our ribbons aren’t just decoration — they’re keepsakes. Inspired by our founder’s childhood habit of reusing every bow, every tie, every scrap of beauty. Use them again, share them, save them. Sustainability thrives in small gestures.
No machines. No shortcuts. Every cracker is hand-rolled, filled and positioned by hand, crimped for that perfect festive silhouette & tied with ribbons one bow at a time.
From lake-harvested hyacinth to hand-stuffed bows, every Local hand and ingenuity shape Dragonfly Cracker. This is a craft you can feel — each crease and crimp carries a human touch, uniquely different from mass-printed, machine-cut crackers.
