HARRINGTON, Wash. – A local teen creates and sells stickers to support various charities, making a great stocking stuffer this holiday season.
16-year-old Bella Mattozzi is a student at Harrington High School and started her sticker business during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’ve always loved art, and it just all started when I was just drawing a vintage van in my sketchbook,” says Bella; she then showed it to her parents, who thought it was a cool idea to turn it into a sticker.
After great sales from the vintage van sticker, Bella says, “I didn’t want to keep the money all for myself, so I decided to donate some of the proceeds to a charity.” So far, she has contributed to various charities such as Union Gospel Mission (UGM), St. Jude Research Hospital, 4Ocean and much more.
To buy a sticker, visit Home & Makers in person in Harrington. Bella is working on setting up an Etsy account for people to buy them directly online. You can also check out Bella’s artwork on her Instagram page here.
