Chester County teen making bracelets for Eagles fans ahead Super Bowl Sunday
EXTON, Pa. - A 13-year-old girl from Chester County is making beaded bracelets with Eagles colors and letters.
Samantha's Beads are right on time for Eagles fans to rock on Super Bowl Sunday.
What we know:
Samantha rolled out the bracelets after the eagles won the NFC Championship title. Since then, sales have soared into the hundreds.
She works on them after school and when she’s done with homework.
She says it takes about ten minutes each depending on the design, but she works faster doing it while watching tv or listening to music.
She’s an Eagles fan and wants to help others display their team spirit.
The bracelets were initially sold on Facebook, but now she has her own page, Samanthasbeads.com.
What they're saying:
Samantha’s worktable in her Exton home has everything from boxes of beads, string, tape, a pink label maker and, of course, green tissue paper and Swoop overseeing her work.
"When I'm focused and listening to music I kind of pick up the pace and all," said Samantha. None of them are customized by players names.
"I love all of them. They're all special in their own ways so I couldn't really choose," she said.
Her mom, Nicole, decided to post about it on Facebook.
"And was just getting messages and orders all throughout the night," she said.
"We've already shipped to California, Delaware and 30 are going to New Hampshire for a watch party," said Nicole.
Samantha lights up talking about a customer she says bought 30 bracelets for a group going to New Orleans to watch the Super Bowl.
"I was in shock that they were going to the Superbowl. So I knew that my bracelets were going to be there so I was really excited," she said.
By the numbers:
The bracelets are six dollars each. Samantha has sold about 250 so far.
What's next:
She plans to make them for a second time for the Phillies next season.
She’s also making bracelets for breast cancer awareness.
