All opinions are mine and mine alone.
If you are, like me, crafty at heart, you have probably often thought about how you could put your skills to good use, and make a bit of money at the same time. The good news is there has never been a better time to monetize your crafting passions. Read on to find the best business you can start.
Personalized gifts
Personalized items make the best gifts. This is because not only has the giver thought about something that the receiver would like, but they have also taken the time to get it personalized for them. Indeed, in the game of gift gifting, personalized items win! Of course, there are many ways that you can create personalized items for selling at home. One option is to hand embroider or use a machine to add names, or initials to items like robes, bags, and towels.
Alternatively, you can use machines like the ones Cricut offers to cut vinyl, sticky back fabric and then apply them to things like water bottles, laptop cases, and even create stickers that the recipient can use to personalize their own items.
Dropshipping
For those that enjoy the artistic side of things, but don’t do too well on the practical stuff, dropshipping is an ideal option. This is because in dropshipping you don’t have to have anything to do with making the physical product you sell. Instead, your responsibility is to come up with a design that can be used on a range of items like custom scarves, pillowcases, or even pajamas. Then the manufacturer will ship them directly to your customer, it really couldn’t be easier!
Of course, there are many dropshipping sup-pliers out there and it’s vital that you consider each set-up carefully. This is because they will all charge different costs, which could impact your profit margins.
Selling patterns
In addition to creating patterns to be printed on drop-shipped items, there is another way that they can help you make money from your crafts. Of course, what I am talking about here is to create patterns that other crafters can pay for and then download and use.
The great thing about creating patterns in this way is it means you will need to go through the process of making a master design first, which is a fantastic excuse to do the crafts you love. Also, pattern designing in this way is a brilliant challenge for those that have become particularly advanced in a genre of crafting and can not only make them money but help them not get bored with their hobby too.
Craft kit boxes
Last of all, one of the best things that a crafter can do is to inspire and encourage others to try the hobby that they so love. The great news is that it’s possible to make some money from doing this too.
Indeed, all you need to do is create starter kit boxes that come with a relatively easy project, and all the materials needed to complete it!
