LeiLei Secor, a 19-year-old girl from upstate New York, was excited to be accepted into the University of Virginia.
But because Secor was an out-of-state student, the cost to attend was extremely high: around $40,000 a year. In 2012, she started thinking creatively about what she would do to pay for her tuition. That’s when she thought of an Etsy business.
She started off making macramé bracelets, but when those didn’t sell, she turned to wire wrap jewelry. It was quickly a hit.
