Amy Slaton makes most of her money as the star of 1000-lb Sisters, but the television personality has also dabbled in creative ventures such as selling crafts. Amy's demonstrated her artistic side in her makeup and fashion hobbies, but the entertainer has also connected with fans through her beaded crafts. From her followers' enthusiasm for her bedazzled projects to the current status of Amy's merchandise, here's everything there is to know about the 1000-lb Sisters star's crafts.
Before Amy and her sister Tammy Slaton secured their reality series, the pair of sisters were prominent content creators on YouTube. On the video-sharing platform, Amy and Tammy shared brief looks into their daily lives and a variety of tutorials. From makeup looks to arts and crafts videos, viewers supported the Slaton sisters' creative endeavors before they even appeared on reality television. While Amy hasn't expressed her artistic side on 1000-lb Sisters as frequently, the reality star's Instagram demonstrates that Amy's kept up with her knack for crafts. Although most of Amy's fans follow her to see the latest updates on her weight loss journey and family drama, the television personality's audience embraced the 1000-lb Sisters star's beaded merchandise wholeheartedly.
Amy's shared her favorite crafts on Instagram for years, but the first time the Slaton sister shared a picture of her dazzling beaded creation was on February 2, 2021. On the picture-sharing platform, Amy posted a photo of a bedazzled Winnie the Pooh. Amy captioned the picture, "Done," and directed fans to buy items like these through Craftsy Art. The entertainer's fans expressed their love for Amy's art, writing, "Very cute crafts." Other fans were so mesmerized by the craft they wanted to buy Amy's Winnie the Pooh product, commenting, "Can I please buy this from you?" In addition to the Winnie the Pooh bear, Amy's made beaded crafts of many familiar characters. After a couple of weeks, Amy shared a craft of Disney's mascot Mickey Mouse on Instagram. Even more fans were eager to buy this beaded design as one fan noted, "this [is] how ur bills are paid."
On top of recreating iconic cartoon characters, Amy has crafted some more intricate designs including peacocks and skulls. On February 18, Amy shared a picture of a vibrantly beaded skull, which she captioned, "Finally done with the skull keychains." Amy's post acquired 3,270 likes and dozens of comments praising the reality star's work. One fan doted, "Amy, I love all your skull keychains! Keep making the skull ones they’re real popular here!" Regrettably, Amy hasn't kept up her crafting passion since February. Not only are Amy's hand-made art pieces unavailable, but the 1000-lb Sisters star's followers claim they can't find the products through the manufacturer Amy listed. The last glimpse of the TV personality's artistic endeavor was a photo of a peacock keychain which Amy enigmatically captioned, "Now time to start a bigger project." Amy hasn't shared what her larger project is, but fans are waiting with bated breath.
Amy is best known for entertaining viewers on 1000-lb Sisters, but the reality star also has a devoted following for her arts and crafts talent. From her Mickey Mouse pieces to her peacock keychains, Amy's Instagram followers ate up her creations and are desperate for more. Unfortunately, the 1000-lb Sisters star is likely too busy caring for her sister and baby boy to get back to the craft table any time soon.
