Any good ideas on crafts to make and sell?
I asked this before, but Im looking to see if anyone else can suggest anything. There are SO many good ideas out there so I know there are more good choices! Thanks so much. I LOVE crafts and can’t wait to make and sell some. (I will be having a craft table at a rummage sale).
Please exclude:
Greeting cards
Crocheted dish rags
Necklaces, bracelets and earrings
Flower Arrangements
go look at craftster.org… they have a ton of idea of what to craft. I don’t know what you’re into….. Fiber arts, ceramics, bookmaking, knitting? Baby stuff, and wedding stuff crafts of some sort. Those always get top dollar… handmade invitations for baby showers or weddings. People get crazy over babies and weddings and don’t care what they spend.

If you have a graphics program like Adobe Photoshop,
If you can draw, there are alot of opportunites to design digital scrapbooking materials.

I used to make these myself and found them very useful yet very easy to make.: the wonders of the BOOKMARK…:). Actually it is quite easy, any materials found at home, Michael’s (it is a craft store), and any other place where they might sell crafting stuff. You can also sell handmade scrapbooking materials, either using items printed (digitally made: you may use photoshop) or materials such as foam, decorated beads (decorated by you!:)), and such. It would also be nice to sell cut-outs of paper dolls, and you can sell them for those little girls you absolutely love dolls. You can make clothes for the dolls as well. The best part is, The can simply be made out of paper. My last suggestion would to make stamps, they are often used for scrapbooking, art projects, ect. They may be a little costly but they are worth it. You can buy all that stuff at your local crafting store:)
HAPPY CRAFTING

My answer kinda depends on if you like native american related themes.Dreamcatchers, myself I love to make them.Depending on the size you make and how quickly you can pick up on making them determines how long it will take you to make one.You can make various sizes all the way from key chain size to as big as you can find the rings.If you have never made them before you can find kits at your local craft stores.Like "Michaels","Hobby Lobby",you can even find some kits at "WalMart" stores.Then you can go from there if you find out that you like them and buy the supplies to make more.You could probably even find directions on-line on how to make them go to Google.com and type in "instructions on how to make Dreamcatchers.
