A Few Goals To Create  



It is easy to just SPEAK of things you would love to do, create, or even sell.

So I have decided to share a few helpful goals to get you started. . . 

But 1st...
**Do Your Homework**

For example, let us say you would love to create tutu dresses. We know that this is a popular item that sells really well.


☆ RESEARCH ☆

•Figure out what type and/or style you would want to create

•Figure out different sizes to make 

                    

•Look up cost of materials such as Tulle (both online and in store) 

♡ CREATING ♡

After you have pick through your ideas, came up with the style, size, and cost of your item you are making, it is time to start creating! 

•Purchase your materials ☆after you did your research and found the best prices☆  (I suggest buy in bulk)

•Make sure you have gotten every item you need besides materials **such as scissors, rulers, ect.

•Once you are ready- begin creating 


**MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE CHECK YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES**


•Finished♡♡

◇How to Sell Your Item◇

•RESEARCH!!! (both online and in store)

•Compare prices  

•Pricing your own item (calculate your time,  and the materials)

•Advertise Advertise Advertise
 Oh and Advertise 
*Your item will never sell itself no matter how good/ great you feel it it**

☆♡ ALWAYS REMEMBER ♡☆

You will always get back what you put out!
Make sure what you sell is something you are proud of..
And...
Never try to just make a quick dollar 
Because that $1 today can cost you $100 tomorrow. 
Remember to DOUBLE CHECK your work!

ALWAYS HAVE FUN AND STAY CREATIVE

Meet Me


Hello, 
I am Teigan Maynard.
I am a proud wife, a mother of two wonderful children, an artist, and the owner of  Little Bug Craftz. I have been suffering with Epilepsy my whole life. Which, I feel, gives me the strength and motivation to want to succeed even harder.

               My whole life, I have been told that I would not be able to live a normal or long life. That just having one bad seizure could kill me or turn me into a vegetable. They even went as far as telling me that I could not have children. I have a list of things I can not do from doctors and my parents. Yet, no matter what, I am a fighter.



          I decided years ago that I was not going to let my illness win. I had decided, for myself, that I wanted a normal life and I was determined to have one. I have been blessed with having two healthy and extremely smart children. I have also been blessed with an amazing husband that takes care of me even when I am not able to do it for myself.

My family and I are from New Orleans, Louisiana. This city is beautiful and is filled with talented creative people. I am grateful that I grew up here and that my children get to experience the enriched cluster of cultures.



           One of my favorite gifts in life is that my husband and I have different artistic talents, but when we put our work together we can create amazing works of art.

               I started my business a few years ago for the simple reason of sharing my view on beautiful works of art and creativity. I call my business “Little Bug Craftz” after my children. It felt like every time I had decided to go pick up my paint brush or my hot glue gun, I heard “Mommy can I…?”, “Mommy I want….”, or simply “Mom”. It is funny because if I was just sitting around not thinking of doing anything, they can be quiet as can be, but the moment I started feeling creative, they somehow knew it. So they became my inspiration for my name “Little Bug Craftz”. They are my Little Bugs.
