Madison Brice from Pangman, a young entrepreneur, decided to put a creative twist on the lanyard, to create a design that can be used for ensuring that a person does not lose their mask. The design is very practical right now, as there is a mandatory mask restriction in all indoor public places in Saskatchewan.

Madison started small in promoting her Krafty Kid Kreations business in 2017, when she attended a trade fair in Pangman. “It started as a hobby, but I wanted to expand it.”

“At the beginning of this whole COVID pandemic, I had wondered what would be a good way to keep your mask on you at all times, but not on your ears or your neck. Then my mom and I came up with the idea of creating these lanyards.”

Once the lanyards were posted on Facebook, Madison received a lot of positive support. “A few of my teachers have them, and a lot of students in my school have them, and they all think that they are great.”

The lanyard can be used with any type of mask. Madison can create roughly 30 lanyards in two hours.  “We will do customizable orders, or we will make a whole bunch. We are able to change the type of string and the beads in the lanyards.”

“I feel that this was a really good hobby to get into, and when someone orders from me, it makes me happy in a lot of ways.”

Madison has her Krafty Kids Kreations business on Facebook and Instagram.
