Project: Opal’s Enchanted Slime Shoppe, LLC
A miscellaneous project by Kat Mesaros, who was awarded $1,000 in the September 2026 funding cycle
Description
My stepdaughter , Opal , has had an idea for an artistic entrepreneurial venture and I would like to secure funding to help her start bringing this dream to fruition . She would like to start her own slime company and we already have ideas for two lines of slime to produce . The Enchanted Slime line would consist of Frog Pond , Unicorn Poop , Fairy Fantasy , Dragon’s Breath , Gnome Snot , and Witches Cauldron ! The Spell Slime line would be sold with the mix-ins separate so the consumer can make their own spell with genuine gemstones and herbs as they play with the slime ! The intentions would be Luck & Abundance , Peaceful Sleep & Anti-Anxiety , Grounding & Protection , Self Love & Confidence , and Joy & Happiness . We have already secured an LLC for Opal’s Enchanted Slime Shoppe and plan to start producing her product soon ! Her Father & I will distribute and promote the product to our already established customer base and we also plan to gain a new audience of children and adults who love slime and sensory play !

How will your project generate money?
This project will easily generate money once we get the items produced. I own Kat’s Crystals & Curiosities in Downtown Muncie and will sell Opal’s Enchanted Slime at my store full time . Her Father & I also vend across the midwest full time and will have a selection of her products with us at multiple events and festivals throughout the year . We are also working on the construction of katscrystalsandcuriosities.com and will soon have them available online for purchase as well ! We plan to contact local radio stations and news outlets to announce the launch of her brand !
When do you expect to be able to repay this loan?
I would expect to repay this loan in 6-12 months time .
Do you have experience or support that will help this project succeed? Links to your previous work are helpful here.
Yes ! I own and operate a successful business with a brick and mortar storefront and think I could really help build a business for my stepdaughter out of her amazing idea!
