About the Maker

Christina Graham, a Cedar Falls maker runs Embellished Etc. who transforms everyday apparel and accessories into something personal, expressive, and one‑of‑a‑kind. Established in 2021, her work blends fashion, color, texture, pop culture, and thoughtful detail to create pieces that feel custom, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

Christina’s creative process begins with an idea, theme, or customer request. From there, she experiments with materials, embellishments, and design techniques to bring each concept to life. She loves the freedom of making — the constant learning, the exploration of new techniques, and the satisfaction of turning an idea from imagination into something someone can wear, use, and enjoy.

Joining Waterloo Handmade Market gives her the chance to connect with other makers, share ideas, and grow creatively within a community that values originality and craftsmanship.
