Handmade & Hand-painted Ukuleles

  1. Custom electric ukuleles by HonniMusic are an incredible price and come in a variety of sizes.

2. I love this hand-painted Tree of Life ukulele by lupineheartcreation (check out their store for tons more designs).

3. This hand-carved ukulele from WoodCarverCollection features a sleek design I love (many more designs on their shop).

4. This hand-painted dolphin ukulele is classy, IMHO. Kumbyart has many more beautiful and whimsical designs.

5. The Wolfelele is a Canadian-designed ukulele you assemble yourself. I particularly am interested in the Tenor Resonator Ukulele.

6. The galaxy ukulele is from feistyarts (gotta love the shop name!).

7. 8-string baritone ukuleles are hard to find ever since Kala discontinued their model (I love mine so much I have 2 of them), but this one from Bruceweiguitar looks pretty amazing (their shop has other ukulele sizes as well.

8. The Desert Dreamtime ukulele speaks for itself. One of many designs from lupineheartcreation.

9. You can’t get much more unique than a Tenor Gourd Uke. BrewsterBrand also offers a traditional Tenor Ukulele in Spanish cedar.

10. Closing out this list we have the cheerful Rainbow Points hand-painted ukulele available in soprano, concert, tenor and baritone from HappyUkulelesByKarl (lots of additional designs).

Whether you’re shopping friends, family or yourself this holiday season, there’s likely a handmade or hand-painted ukulele to lift your Christmas spirits.

Etsy also has a wide range of Holiday Gift Guides if you’re looking for inspiration on gifts for ‘unique’ folk in your life, including budget guides for gifts under $25, under $30, and under $50. I personally appreciate the suggestions for teacher gifts. 🙂
