What started out as a hobby quickly turned into a blossoming business complete with clientele requesting sets to support their fashion sense and charitable causes.

"All my friends and their friends kept asking me to make them, and then their parents started asking me too!  It's a lot of fun to create bracelets for people to match their purse or clothes.  I just created a new design with colors that match really popular sneakers like Sketchers and Air Jordans. The nice thing is, if I have too much work my Mom likes to help me, so we get to work together which I super love. I just love what I do and making people happy!” Tiani says joyfully.

In the past two months alone, Tiani has created over 200 bracelets and her demand is growing.  She just received a huge order from a Girl Scout troop celebrating their 25th anniversary.

When she's not fulfilling orders, Tiani can be found dancing, singing or doing homework.  "It's really cool to have my own business, but I have to be a kid too!" 

Tiani's bracelets can be ordered in single or larger quantities at https://www.etsy.com/shop/TianisBracelets .
