Weighted Creations

Last year, I was advised to look into a weighted blanket to help Damien. Weighted blankets help the body process sensory input, which will make them less restless and help them sleep better.  

 I looked online and quickly realized that they are expensive! Ranging anywhere from $60-$100 or more! I did some research and after purchasing the materials, I had made my first weighted blanket. 

I don't have a picture, but it was just a baby blanket size and was made out of minky. He had picked out the fabric himself and he loved it! He would carry it everywhere and it helped him sleep good. After a couple months, he had taught himself how to better regulate his body, and wasn't using it anymore. One day, I decided to put it on the local facebook yardsale page, and within 20 minutes, had about 10 people interested in it! I ended up selling it for $40.

That night, I layed in bed and thought about all the other people that NEEDED a weighted blanket, but couldn't afford the ones online.  After talking to Ryan, I decided to open up a little shop on facebook and named it Weighted Creations.

The support was amazing! The first couple months I received a couple orders a month, getting me used to how everything would work out. I took a break in January to deal with some medical issues for my son. In February, I opened up shop again, and orders starting pouring in! I couldn't believe it.

So far, I've shipped to Washington, Texas, Oregon, Iowa, Georgia, and all over Idaho.

These are some of my past creations. Usually when people order, they just say I want dinosaur theme, or my son loves blue, etc., and I go to work to try to find something fun and cute!
