Kaitlyn – KS Slime & Jewelry
What inspired you to start your craft or trade?
I have two businesses. I make jewelry and slime. My sister used to make and sell jewelry, and I would help her sometimes. It was fun to make cute jewelry that people enjoyed wearing. I have now taken over the business and am having so much fun. I also sell slime. I love to work with my hands and play with slime. I wanted to make perfect slime that is satisfying to crunch and stretch. It is so much fun watching people enjoy the slime I created from scratch.
How long have you been making your products?
I have been making both jewelry and slime since I was 5
