Two Ten Designs

I have had Two Ten Designs for the last 5-6 years. I am a busy body & my outlet/therapy is being creative. When I started Two Ten, my focus has always been giving back to my community. Much of my business took off during COVID when I was making bracelets & giving $5 from every bracelet back to ICCSD to cover costs for protective equipment for teachers & students when they went back to the classroom. I have done several fundraisers for clubs, individuals, & non-profit organizations over the years. In addition to bracelets, I love hosting Trucker hat & custom make up bag parties!
