CLEVELAND, OHIO– Christina’s Creations is one of the newest trending, self-made companies in both Trenton, Mich. and Fort Wayne, Ind. Creator, Christina Wynn, uses her many talents of sewing, pattern reconciliation, and creativity to make her products. The products range from custom embroideries, hair scrunchies, turban headbands, altered clothing, customized hats, and painted clothing/material, surgical masks to name a few. There’s nothing Wynn cannot handle when receiving orders or requests!
“When I made Christina’s Creations, it started off as just a hobby that I wanted to pursue,” Wynn stated. I started by watching a lot of embroidery videos for some inspiration. I began with small pocket area designs and then I evolved into doing scrunchies because I realized how easy they were to make and my Mom had a lot of extra fabric around the house.”
Advertising and promoting a self-made business can be a challenge, but Wynn was able to tackle this obstacle with a millennial mindset. Some of the best ways to advertise new products is through social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook. Both platforms allow for likes, comments, shares, and praise.
“The first thing I did was make an Instagram and link it through a Facebook page,” she said. “I use social media to post photos and videos of my creations which helps to promote them. This is also one of the tools that I use to my advantage in making sales for my products. Customers can directly message me their ideas or wants for products and I gain traction from this for my company.”
Wynn uses her company to help express herself and create art that is both wearable and affordable. Her company is able to ship orders out all over the United States and world which helps to spread word of her company via word of mouth of happy customers. She does have a favorite product out of them all though.
“My favorite products to make are my jeans,” said Wynn. “My boyfriend would help sketch out the designs on the jeans and I’d finish them off by painting them in. I really love to paint honestly so it’s dope to be able to combine the two things. They were a hit! I’ve shipped some to California, Colorado and Nebraska so my demographics are larger than just the Fort Wayne and Trenton areas.”
The challenges arise being a self-made business owner in terms of financial revenue. Although Wynn does not make a huge profit for her work, it’s something she loves to do and is able to share with friends and family.
“Honestly it depends on how much product people buy,” she mentioned. “I didn’t make that much money making scrunchies, but that’s okay. I don’t charge a lot for my embroidery. I wanted to make it really affordable to people so that my friends and the average consumer can purchase them without breaking their bank. I’ve been making so many reusable masks within this past week due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I made the price low to combat the issue of price gouging and have made over 70 masks so far and am giving them to healthcare professionals for free. This is the most business I’ve ever had, so it’s very exciting for me. I think that already having Christina’s Creations for a year gave me credibility and has helped me to sell masks lately. It’s amazing that I can do what I love and many people benefit from that.”
Making crafts is something many do just to pass the time, but Wynn has made this a very successful business. The overwhelming aspects of the job include multiple orders and the balance of her already busy schedule in regards to being a full time student, athletics, working and internships. Wynn handles these challenges with ease and is a great example of a self-made entrepreneur.
“I have the ability to do what I love for others. I would love to continue this endeavor after I graduate depending on the future constraints of my schedule. I really want to improve my overall company by having more strategic campaign ideas like packages, themes, and customer content.”

“The alliteration of Christina’s Creations, (CC) I think gives the company a very memorable impression. I recently made a logo with the two C’s to help push this idea further. It’s just a very cute way to nickname the company I’ve created.”
