Maddie Bradshaw M3 Girl Designs founder who is 13years age Converted into $1.6 million Brand a year

Maddie Bradshaw M3 Girl Designs founder who is 13years age Converted into $1.6 million Brand a year



Maddie Bradshaw is the President/founder of m3 girl designs, a jewelry company, with annual revenues of around $1.6 million, selling over 60,000 necklaces per month in over 6,000 U.S. retail outlets, including Amazon.com and Nordstrom.

Everything started when the young girl was 10 years-old and wanted to decorated her school locker, but couldn’t find anything interesting and original. When her uncle, who had an old Coke machine, gave her 50 bottle caps, she decided to decorate them herself and put magnets on them. The now 16-year-old recalls: “When my friends saw the caps, they wanted me to make some for them.”

M3 Girl Designs

Location: Dallas, Texas
2008 Revenue: $1.6 million

Their enthusiasm determined Maddie to try something new: design necklaces with a metal pendant to attract the bottle cap, which she called Snap Caps. The Snap Caps aim to capture and celebrate every girl’s unique personality, with themes ranging from initials, music stars and fairy tales. Bradshaw took 50 of the necklaces to a local toy store. In less than two hours, they sold out. The young entrepreneur remembers: “At that point, I knew I was onto something. I think we were successful in the beginning because I was more focused on having fun and less worried about failing.” While she only spent $300 of her own money, matched by her mother, to buy supplies, the young girl already made her first million by age 13.

                                                              M3 Girl Designs

Maddie, alongside her younger sister, Margot, who is the company’s vice-president, creates the jewelry designs. She also attends all the company’s meetings and trade shows. The young entrepreneur has recently added a new line of necklaces, called Spark of Life, which targets an older group, teens. She revealed: ”The great thing about our company is that it’s growing with me.As my tastes change, so will the products.”

"A kid knows what a kid likes," says Bradshaw, who took her bottle cap idea, which she named Snap Caps, and pitched it to a local toy store, Learning Express, in 2007. Selling out of the 50 bottle caps Bradshaw and her mom took to the store  in under two hours Learning Express quickly asked the then-10-year-old if it could carry the Snap Caps in more of its stores throughout Texas.

Now, Bradshaw's designs can be found in hundreds of stores throughout the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas. Snap Caps can be worn on necklaces, in hairpins, or as bracelets. "All my designs are interchangeable," says Bradshaw, whose company now sells 50,000 necklaces and caps every month.

As the founder, president, and head designer of the Dallas-based company, Bradshaw is still a full-time student and plays lacrosse, tennis, and is a member of the swim team. Her 9-year-old sister Margot helps design and paint some of the bottle caps, and is most often the person Bradshaw turns to for advice.

"She always knows what the latest trends are, what my friends and hers are going to like," Bradshaw says. Margot also serves as the company's vice president, while mother Diane is CEO and the person who is responsible for all the financials. "Maddie definitely attends the business meetings, talks about the designs, and goes to trade shows," Diane Bradshaw says.

Maddie's accidental product has become something of a tween-selling powerhouse -- Snap Caps were featured at the Teen Choice Awards and now bring in $1.6 million in revenue. Throughout this summer, Bradshaw has worked with the company's 25 employees, designing more caps and expanding into hair ties and notebooks. "I'm glad I started this company as a kid," Bradshaw says. "I've learned how to market a business  and I think it's really fun."

Bradsaw has also published a book, called You Can Start a Business, Too, after receiving numerous emails from young girls who also wanted to start a business. At the same time, she is striving to create a scholarship to help aspiring young entrepreneurs, as she confessed: ”I love that I have an opportunity to reach out and help others.Not everybody has the money like I did to pay for start-up costs.”

Bradshaw’s initiative has attracted local and national media attention. The young entrepreneur appeared on ABC’s“The View” and the “Shark Tank,” while her work has been featured on the Teen Choice Awards. Regarding her appearance on “The View,” Bradshaw confessed: “I was so nervous about answering questions from Barbara Walters.” She added: “But with each new opportunity to talk about the company in front of people, I gained a bit more confidence and learned that I could do more than I thought I could do.”

While on “Shark Tank” in February 2012, Bradshaw asked the “Sharks,” five investors who listen to business pitches and offer financial and mentoring deals with entrepreneurs, to invest $300,000 in her company, while proposing a 15% stake in the company. M3 girl designs ended up offering 30% equity in the business for the $300k, but obtained considerable value for the additional 15%. Instead of one “Shark” offering to launch her company internationally and mentor her, three investors, Mark Cuban, Robert Herjevic and the QVC Queen Lori Greiner, together worth billions of dollars, accepted to invest in the young girl’s business.

While her own company continues to rise to unexpected heights, Maddie’s Bradshaw advises other young entrepreneurs to: “Follow your passion. If you come up with an idea and you love it, chances are other people will, too.”
This is a True Success Story that is sure to keep growing as the two girls continue to develop their Brand. This is also a very good lesson for all parents in how to encourage their kids that they can accomplish anything they want in life if they are willing to work hard (and smart) for it.
Maddie and Margot may be getting a lot of the attention, but without grounded parent's that were willing to help take a business idea into a multi-million dollar business in a few short years cannot be over looked.

Birthday party decoration at home Birthday party decoration at home ideas india

Birthday party decoration at home ideas


Consider the age, gender, interests and hobbies of the guest of honor! Then choose a theme that suits them perfectly.You can go "all out" and make every aspect of the party theme-related, or you can try a lighter touch by including just a little theme-related decoration or food.

Get your guest list made and your invitations out at least 2 weeks prior to the party (more if it's a big event). This way, you'll have an idea of how many people to expect and you can decide on the best location to accommodate your group size.

Make sure you have a way to play your tunes - whether that be just a set of speakers with a phone or music player, or a whole DJ setup.
Even if you're not planning on having dancing, background music really helps set the atmosphere at the party. Make sure you have a range of fast, slow, soft, and quiet songs on hand to fit the mood at different times of the event and get your guests feeling celebratory.

If you're hosting a kids party, pick out some kid-friendly selections that won't drive the parents crazy. If you're hosting a grown-up celebration, make sure you have a range of genres available to suit everybody's likes, and let your guests play "DJ" too.

Balloons and streamers are fun, but they're at every party! Get creative by tying into your theme. A large box can become a doghouse for a puppy party. Small pebbles spray-painted gold can be the treasure for a pirate party, and haystacks make great seats for a Wild West Party.

Serve food relating to your theme, like Hawaiian Fruit Dip for a luau or pigs-in-a-blanket for a barnyard party. Just remember, finger foods are best, particularly for young guests.
To lend an older mood to your party, prepare some more grown-up snacks, like chips and salsa, cheese and crackers, and range of easy-to-prepare appetizers. Make all your options things you can cook or put together ahead of time, so that you can spend the precious hours of the party enjoying your guests' company, rather than in the kitchen.

Keep guests entertained. Provide lots of opportunity for social mingling (particularly for grown-ups), as well as "free play" for kids. But to really keep the celebration going, games always seem to be the hit of the party! There are some great websites out there where you can find activities that tie into a particular theme.
Depending on your number of guests and their ages, you can even have several games running throughout the event. Balance your levels of activity so that there's plenty going on throughout the party; you can try something active like a three-legged race or Twister, followed by lower-key but social games like Pictionary or charades (or board games, for kids).

Expect the unexpected! With kids' parties especially, it is almost a certainty that things will not go exactly according to plan. Be prepared by having extra games and activities, extra goody bags, and a rain plan ready.
For older guests, you may not run into those particular issues, but be prepared with some extra food and activities if you end up with more guests than you expected, and be prepared to reign in the party to cater a smaller crowd if some people don't show up.

Remember the goody bags! Once again, try to keep the goodies relevant to the party theme and the age of your guests. For example the goody bag may contain chocolate bars and toys like grow your own frog etc.
If you're aiming your party at an older crowd, goody bags may not fit the mood, but that doesn't mean you can't send them home with a memento. Take snapshots of your friends being goofy in a make-shift "photo booth" and print them out for guests to take home (or send them along later, if you prefer), or make a fun "grown-up goody bag" with kazoos and party poppers for when people really want to get the party going.

Get snacks that your friends will enjoy, not just you.Don't go to any place unsuitable for younger guests.
Make a pinata out of a balloon and fill it with candy instead of having goody bags. You could do both, if you want.Use books from the library or book store, or surf the Internet for more fun birthday party ideas.

Decorating with Food

Your party guests need to eat so why not use that as an opportunity to stun them with your decorating skills! Here are some tips to get you started.
Use theme related items to hold your food. For example, a clean cowboy hat could hold chips at a western themed party and a milk pail could hold cookies at a farm party. Look around your kitchen for ideas and look in the toy box too!
Use your theme to inspire the food you serve and then label things accordingly. For instance, if you were having a Dinosaur Party you could label vegetables are for herbivores and hamburgers are for carnivores. Action figures, toys and stuffed animals can hold the food labels next to each dish.
Yummy treats such as cupcakes, cookies and candy are naturally colorful and can add flare to your food table. Top cupcakes with small toys or candy, wrap cookies in decorative tissue paper and place colorful hard candy in mason jars to make your food table pop.
Place large swirl lollipops in pretty vases along with silk or tissue paper flowers. Pass these out as favors for your guests. You can even add a personalized sticker on the front of each lollipop to send your guests a special message.
Arrange cupcakes in the shape of your child's age on the party table. You can also arrange cupcakes in rows that are decorated with the letters that spell "Happy Birthday."
Silly straws come in a variety of fun shapes and can also be taken home by your guests. Make sure to use silly straws with tall cups to prevent tipping or trim the bottom of each straw before serving in smaller cups.
Use cookie cutters to cut sandwiches into different shapes. Use shapes that match your party theme. For instance, star shaped cookie cutters can be used for a Rock Star or Space Party.
Finish the party off with the perfect party cake. Use a Wilton cake pan that matches your party theme or check out  more ideas.
Decorating Crafts
If you have the time, you can impress your guests by making some of the party decorations yourself.

Fold a Basic Napkin Utensil Holder: Create a colorful utensil pouch out of a paper dinner napkin. This decorating tip includes step-by-step folding instructions with photos and display ideas.

Fold a Fancy Napkin Utensil Holder: Here is another way you can fold a paper napkin into a utensil pouch. Step-by-step folding instruction with photos and display ideas are included.

Kirigami Picnic Baskets: Kirigami is just like origami except the paper is cut and folded. This craft is a perfect way to make nametags for your guests. All you need is origami paper and our folding instructions to create beautiful nametags or favor holders.

Tissue Paper Flowers: Not only can tissue paper flowers be used as centerpieces but you can also make large ones and then hang them from the ceiling. Small flowers can be placed behind each guest's ear at a luau or garden party. Choose your size and get creative with this easy decorating craft.

Balloons and Streamers

The ceiling isn't the only place to hang balloons from a string or tape streamers. Be creative while decorating. Choose colors that match your party theme

Here are some balloon and streamer ideas to inspire you.
Decorate balloons with construction paper, markers and tissue paper to create animal faces. Just tape on ears and draw on the face with a permanent marker.
Create a balloon canopy by hanging a tarp or sheet from four poles above the party table. Then fill dozens of solid color balloons with helium and let them float under the canopy without strings.
Create a balloon ball pit by blowing up dozens of balloons without helium and placing them in a boxed off area. The children can walk around in the balloon pit and toss them in the air.
Tape balloons to the wall in the formation of your child's age. This will create a dramatic and colorful wall display.

Wrap streamers around poles, stairwells and chairs. You can leave white space while wrapping the streamers or completely cover the surface to create a solid colored decoration.
Create a streamer chandelier by gathering 6-8 long streamer strips by one end. Tape one end to the ceiling and then fan out the strips to all corners of the room. This will look really pretty if you use alternating colors or rainbow colors.

Crafts of Andhra Pradesh Famous Crafts Andhra Pradesh

Crafts of Andhra Pradesh



Indian Handicrafts have made a name for themselves the world over. Ancient skills have been honed to perfection by craftsmen who have learnt the trade from their fathers, as did their fathers before them. This tradition continues over the centuries, safeguarding the wide and varied artistic wealth of India.

Today, this tradition unfolds itself in an overwhelming variety of products, combining aesthetic appeal with utilitarian value. To satisfy modern tastes and meet international demand, design institutes have been giving a new look to these traditional crafts. A variety of products is available today in all their regional splendour.

These beautiful items are like a breath of fresh air in this age of mechanisation and mass production. The high caliber of skills exhibited in creating the products has stood the test of time. What's more, craftsmen have shown great ingenuity and flexibility in adapting to the requirements of the modern age.

Each region of India abounds in handicrafts reflecting the genius of its local craftsmen. Andhra Pradesh in the south has the distinction of having all important categories of handicrafts practiced in their traditional locations spread over different parts of the state.

Karimnagar is well known for silver Filigree of superior quality created by master craftsmen.

Bidri is another prized product of Andhra Pradesh popular in different parts of the world.

The skills of artisans can be seen in caskets, vases and trays.While places like Nagarjunakonda and Amaravathi have influenced the growth of stone-carving in places like Durgi, wood-carving received its impetus from the temple sculptures. This has made possible the creation of a variety of products in the shape of both figurines and panels that depict them from temple chariots and Gopuram (typical Hindu temple domes).

Metalware has found a new expression in the context of Andhra Pradesh with exquisite pieces of sheet-metal art deriving its motifs from the historic monuments of the Kakatiya sculpture. At the same time, the art has successfully adapted itself to imbibing the use of Persian and other motifs. This has resulted in the evolution of a whole range of utility-cum-decorative items like plant pots, vases, wall decorations and stationery items. Cast art metalware, including icons and temple sculptures depicting various themes, is also produced in certain parts of the state.

Nirmal painting, unique for reproducing motifs from the well-known art schools, has greatly expanded its market by evolving a number of household items which include large-size furniture for drawing, dining and bedrooms.

Leather puppet-making is yet another speciality which has made its way into Andhra Pradesh and developed its roots in different parts of the state. Originally conceived to meet the needs of the shadow puppet troupes, this technique is being increasingly adapted to evolve articles of home decoration.,

Andhra Pradesh has created a niche for itself in the wooden toy industry, combining both carving and painting to present interesting themes, such as village occupations, models of mythological figures, and animals in both stylised and natural forms.

Andhra Pradesh has its claim on some of the most distinguished crafts like the Kalamkari work with its origins traced back to antiquity. Kalamkari, with its resist process and application of vegetable dyes has made an impact in various parts of the world. The Kalamkari craft, as it has recently evolved in Srikalahasti, offers themes in the form of small and large decorative panels ideal for household and office decoration.

Andhra Pradesh has a rich tradition of handloom textile which has attracted attention from both within and outside the country. By carefully assimilating some of the best features of weaving styles and techniques without sacrificing on the originality, and showing a high degree of flexibility to change, the artistic handloom weaving industry of Andhra Pradesh has emerged as a potent source of some of the most unique products made in the country. The world-famous Tie and Dye cloth with its more recent innovation in furnishing fabrics, the well-known brocade and silk saris of kothakota and Gadwal, the famous Narayanpet saris and superfine Venkatagiri saris, besides Pondur Khadi are among the better known handloom textiles from the state.

The mirror embroidery of the style practised by the tribal women Banjaras, nomenclatured "Banjara Embroidery" is another important craft. It offers possibilities for the profitable use of embroidery skills of this economically backward community in the state.

Andhra Pradesh has a place of pride in floor coverings too. Carpets of Eluru and Warangal have long been known not only within the country but also in many parts of the world. All natural-wool pile carpets produced in these places are a speciality. The artistic Durry industry evolved in and around Warangal. Durries with floral and figurative motifs have contributed significantly to exports.

“Lepakshi”, the well-known temple town in Andhra Pradesh, is a repository of stone sculpture and frescoes of a high order attained during the Vijayanagar period. LePakshi as a name has thus aptly been chosen by the Andhra Pradesh Handicrafts Development Corporation as a name for its Marketing Wing., LePakshi serves as a vital link between the lover and buyer of objects of beauty and the legendary handicrafts of Andhra Pradesh. “Lepakshi” Emporia have endeavoured to project the artistry and elegance of Andhra Pradesh Handicrafts in order to create an impact on markets within the country and abroad.

Andhra Pradesh has a rich tradition in handicrafts, with techniques of craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation.

Plastic Canvas Crafts how to make plastic canvas crafts plastic canvas crafts ideas

Plastic Canvas Crafts


Plastic Canvas Crafts

Plastic canvas is a craft material of lightweight plastic with regularly spaced holes in imitation of embroidery canvas. It is also commonly known as vinyl weave.

Plastic canvas is typically used as a foundation for needlepoint or other canvas work embroidery, usually in acrylic or wool knitting yarn. Due to its rigidity, it is useful for creating 3-dimensional objects such as tissue box covers, small jewelry boxes, handbags, and other decorative objects.

Plastic canvas is manufactured in many colors and with various size holes for different thicknesses of yarn. As with textile canvas, these are described in count – that is, 10-count plastic canvas has 10 holes per linear inch. Typical sizes are 5-, 7-, 10-, and 14 count. It is most readily available in A4 size sheets but pre-made shapes such as circles, triangles as well as novelty shapes (e.g. dinosaur, bird, cross) are also available.

Plastic canvas is also employed in teaching needlepoint and cross stitch to children, since its rigid structure does not require the use of a hoop or frame.

Plastic canvas is also used by some for making animal mascot heads as a frame to build faux fur upon to make the head of the mascot, some people stick the Plastic canvas together with glue but this is not the only method of construction or sticking together a frame of a mascot head.

How to do Continental stitch:

Start the top row by following the numbering on the diagram. Each stitch is worked in a downwards diagonal direction over 1 canvas thread (or two if you are using Penelope canvas).Take the needle back up to 3 to start the second, leaving a longer diagonal stitch on the back.When you reach the end of the row, you need to start each stitch at the bottom and head upwards as shown by the arrows. You will get one vertical stitch on the back where you change direction. Continue in this manner to complete the second row.

How to do Basketweave needlepoint stitch:


Start with the blue lines on the diagram. Each stitch is heading upwards but the actual row is going down the fabric. You will get an almost vertical stitch on the reverse.

As with the method above this way of working does use a little more yarn, and a little extra concentration is also needed. shown the second row in pink. You start with stitch a-b and this time both the stitches and the row are going upwards. The stitches on the back will be almost horizontal.

This variation gets its name from the basketweave appearance it forms on the back after a few rows. In fact you can easily tell if you have made a mistake by tell tale stitches going in the wrong direction and spoiling the "weave".

It takes a bit more practice but basketweave doesn't tend to pull the canvas out of shape, making it ideal for large areas of background. For smaller areas, with lots of colour changes, it may be easier to use the continental version.

How to make a garland with satin ribbons

How to make a garland with satin ribbons



Silk/satin roses are great for decorating, enhancing clothing on special occasions, and making craft projects.Learn yourself how to make your own roses out of ribbon, satin, or silk.


Choose a material color. Reds and pinks are traditional rose colors, but you might want to make a yellow, white, or even a black flower for a different effect.

Cut the strip to about 8in (20cm) long. If it is shorter, it is harder to work with, and if it is longer, there will be far more ribbon than is required for a rose. Note that since you will cut the ribbon again when the flower is complete.

Grab one of the loose ends of ribbon and slowly pull it out of the folded accordion. Be sure to keep the other end stationary as you pull. This will bunch the folds of the accordion more closely together, making a little knot of petals. Pull until the rose is the size and shape you desire, but note that if you pull too far, the folds will pop right out and the rose will be undone cut the excess ribbon.

Foam Flower Crafts for Kids Crafts

Foam Flower Crafts for Kids



                                                           Foam Flower Crafts for Kids
Learn how to make Foam Flower Crafts for Kids.Cut a circle out of a sheet of foam.
The circumference of the circle can be as small or as large as you want. Fold the circle in half. Make sure it's folded neatly, so that the shape of the calla lily will turn out right. Alter the circle to create a rounded heart shape. Start by placing the scissors at the bottom point of the folded foam. Cut along the edge of the circle, then dip the scissors in at the top of the circle to make a rounded edge. when you unfold the circle, it should look like a rounded heart, with two subtle humps at the top; the bottom of the heart should remain rounded. The classic heart shape has a sharply pointed bottom tip, but in this case you want to keep the bottom rounded with a slight point.

Gather the lily bloom around the pipe cleaner. Put a dab of hot glue on the front of the yellow pipe cleaner right at the cleft in the lily bloom. Take the two sides of the lily bloom (right where you made the slit) and pinch them together in front of the pipe cleaner, pressing them down so that they stick to the hot glue dab. You can add an extra dab of hot glue between the sides to help them stay in place. 

Make a stem out of a green pipe cleaner. Wrap the top of the pipe cleaner around the base of the yellow pipe cleaner, so that the yellow is completely obscured. Leave the tail of the green pipe cleaner straight, so it resembles a stem.
