Remember, you don’t have to be an expert craftsman to make this work. Often people love the simple things, and you can find yourself making money even if you only know how to make yourself a few items. As a beginner or an expert, it is worth looking into and giving a shot at. Nothing ventured, nothing gained after all.

Start with what you Know

Let’s say you only actually know how to make a few things. Take one of the easiest crafts there is to create, earrings. It is a very simple design really. All you need is a the ear piece and then what ever will dangle off of it. Something simple might do, as long as it looks pretty. Small polished rocks, beads and plastic ornaments are great for this. Bracelets are also incredibly easy, needing only some wire to stretch around the wrist with different objects decorating it to make a one of a kind object. Once you have the items in mind you want to make in mind, buy some materials in a drop shipping wholesaler deal. Just order what you can, and for the best deals go online. Once everything you need is delivered to your house, all you have to do is get to work.

Find a Place to Sell your Work

This is the slightly harder part of the deal, actually selling your items and making money from it. Luckily it doesn’t have to be as hard as you might think as long as you are able to sell in the right places. Handmade crafts often sell best in fairs and festivals, since people there are already looking for such items like that. A renaissance fair is the perfect place to sell home made items like jewelry or clothing, as it has an older touch and feel about it. It’s something many people will intentionally be looking for since they desire to look the part. However, if you can’t find something like that nearby, then give online sales a shot. Often there are websites that are tied directly into selling such stuff, like www.etsy.com. This site sells items specifically that are made at home by hand, and thus you should have a much easier time selling items there than on a site that has several different types of merchandise like Amazon or Ebay.
