Have you ever wanted to make something completely on your own? That’s what Alana Fonseca Diaz (8) does. Alana makes jewelry out of resin and beaded bracelets. “It brings me happiness and it gives me something to do,” she said. It takes her about 30 minutes to make each bracelet and they always turn out stunning. Her favorite thing she’s made is, “This bracelet because it’s inspired by Silver the Hedgehog. I love Silver the Hedgehog.”
