Is crafting one of your hobbies? Why not start a home based craft business? This would be a fun and rewarding home business opportunity for you, especially if it is a favorite hobby. Doing something you truly enjoy makes for a more successful and profitable career.
I personally know many people who make all types of crafts and have often wondered why they didn't try to make money with their talent. People love homemade crafts, and are willing to pay some very good money to get unique decor for their homes. A home based craft business is an excellent way to earn extra money or even a full time income!
What kind of products do you enjoy making? Many people make wood crafts that include anything from small country style cabinets and wall shelves to bird houses and unique picture frames. Others are interested in crocheted items, making ceramics and hand crafted jewelry. Basket weaving is another popular hobby.
How do you make money with a home based craft business? There are many ways! The cheapest way of course would be to sell them from your home. You could place a small ad in the phone book to advertise your business, hand out business cards everywhere you go, print up some flyers.
Another option for displaying your crafts would be to set up a small shop in your area. I know in the area where I live, people are crazy about homemade crafts. You may even consider just renting some shelf space from other merchants in your area and displaying your products.
A very popular way to make money with crafts is by traveling to fairs and arts and crafts shows. By paying a small fee and setting up a booth, you can make quite a sum of money on your unique products. When doing this, always make sure to have business cards and perhaps some flyers to give out to anyone stopping by to visit.
Still another option for your home based craft business is to put a website up on the internet. With the easy programs available today, this is pretty simple even for someone who isn't familiar with website building. By placing your items online, you have the potential of reaching thousands and even millions of prospective buyers!
Doing something you truly love and learning how to make money with it is a smart move. Why not turn your hobby into a home business?

I make money with my home based craft business by teaching my craft. I am a basket weaver and have taught for many years. I'm now in the process of bumping it up to the next level, but it has always been a source of fun spending money for me. You can see my work at my blog:
