Our Hand designed iPhone Covers: They are all hand
designed. They are suitable for IPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S.
Some of our covers are hard plastic and some are soft.
Every one of them is unique.
We started selling our products in school. We then went to
a craft fair in the Back Yard in Moynehall in Cavan before
Christmas. In the New Year we went to a car boot sale in
Cavan. We also sold to family and friends. In March we
attended a mini company competition for the Enterprise
Ireland which we won 1st place in the intermediate
category. We are now through to the all Irelands in the
Enterprise in April.
Today we are still making, designing and selling our
Auditory learning helpers, All-round speakers and Hand
designed iPhone covers and hope to continue with this
mini company. We also hope to do well in the all Irelands in
April. We really enjoyed the whole Mini Company project
and have learned a lot about business while doing it.
