Three Monkeys with soul — handmade & DIY ideas from around the world
The Three Monkeys motif inspires not only artists and designers, but also people who create from the heart—by hand, at home, with passion and imagination. All over the world, embroideries, figurines, decorations and small keepsakes with the 3@ motif are made—crafted from felt, wood, polymer clay, paper, clay or recycled materials. Each piece carries something unique—because it was made with thought, feeling and a smile.
Handmade works with the Three Wise Monkeys motif are more than decoration—they’re a personal gesture, a hand-made interpretation of the 3@ symbol. All over the world people create figurines from wood, paper, salt dough, ceramics, polymer clay or wicker. Others embroider, sew, carve or cut—sometimes from a creative urge, sometimes as a gift, and sometimes simply out of affection for the motif.
The Three Wise Monkeys—“see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”—become part of family DIY projects, school art assignments, holiday ornaments or interior decor. They’re often made from simple materials—but always with heart and a good idea.
Our collection includes handmade pieces from many countries, created by children, adults, enthusiasts, teachers and hobby makers. Each is different, yet they all share one thing: authenticity and the joy of making.
