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.â€
“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.â€
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.â€
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.â€
“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.â€
