My mom makes her own wristbands, so I\u2019ve picked up how to make bracelets and necklaces from her,\u201d said the Grade 8 student of Hartman Public School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted to start a business that I can run from home and enjoy, so I decided to make bracelets and necklaces. It&#8217;s fun to put everything together and it makes me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel made an initial \u201cinvestment\u201d to purchase beads, fish hooks and pendants for his budding business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI run an Instagram page and post photos of the jewelry I make. The glass bead bracelets cost $20 and the wooden ones cost $15. I market my business through social media and have made a few sales in my neighbourhood and through my Instagram handle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teen wishes to donate 10 per cent of his earning to Sick Kids Hospital. He was deeply moved when a close friend\u2019s little cousin lost his life to cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m a kid and I want every kid to be healthy and to have fun. I felt sad for my friend and his little cousin and wanted to do something to help. I am going to donate online to SickKids and want to raise at least $100 but hopefully more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel believes every little bit counts, especially at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spends an hour each day making the jewelry, and sometimes getting feedback from his friends, especially girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe jewelry I make is unisex so anyone can buy and wear them but I do like to ask my friends who are girls for their opinion. They think it\u2019s cool and follow me on Instagram,\u201d he added. \u201cMy personal favourite bracelet is one with black and blue beads, and my favourite necklace is silver with a stone pendant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his free time, Daniel likes to watch Shark Tank to sharpen his entrepreneurial skills. He also plays hockey and basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to have a good financial start to when I am older, and hope this could lead to me opening more businesses in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To follow Daniel\u2019s Instagram page or to purchase from him, go to www.instagram.com\/dnny_co\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Kinjal Dagli Shah<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F27188&amp;t=Teen%20gets%20crafty%20with%20jewellery%20business%20for%20a%20cause&amp;s=100&amp;p[url]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F27188&amp;p[images][0]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F08%2F2020-08-06-03.jpg&amp;p[title]=Teen%20gets%20crafty%20with%20jewellery%20business%20for%20a%20cause\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F27188&amp;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Teen%20gets%20crafty%20with%20jewellery%20business%20for%20a%20cause&amp;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F27188\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the midst of a pandemic, Daniel Carbone took to making bead jewelry to put his entrepreneurial skills to use and to raise money for SickKids Hospital.
