Geri Bates
Hi Besties!!! Thank you so much for wanting to get to know us Misfits a little better! I’m Geri Bates and I am the co-owner and creator of Misfit Makers and Mistfit Makers Besties. I am married, a mother of 3 young boys, and I currently reside in the great state of Louisiana. I have been making epoxy glitter tumblers for almost 2 years. Although, I am stay a home mom first I also run a successful business selling custom glittered tumblers {Geri’s Sticky Designs} . Through the tumbler community I discovered my passion for teaching and sharing my art with others. I’ve had the opportunity to teach many other makers through Facebook LIVES, TikToks, and Tumbler Conventions. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity that this tumbler community has given me and I am so excited to give back! My goal as a mentor and bestie is to inspire you, challenge you and encourage you to follow your passions and dreams. Can’t wait to meet you and get started!

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away….. there was a crafter who was addicted to glitter……
HI MY LOVELY LADIES AND GENTS!!! My name is Jessica and as mentioned, I have a bit of a glitter problem! Haha! I am the co-creator of Misfit Makers and Misfit Makers Besties. I love crafting, glitter, and tacos!!! I am happily married to my husband Nick (aka Glitter Bae). We live in Missouri and have 4 beautiful children and one angel baby(RIH Hailey). I love all things Disney and Star Wars. I turned my hobby into a successful business when I started Jessie Rae Custom Designs on Facebook in 2017. Along the way, I found my passion in going live and helping other crafters in the tumbler community! So come join the fun and be a Bestie, where we can inspire each other to create something great!
