Want to make an income as a stay at home mom? Selling handmade items is a great way to do that! Here I’m sharing a huge list of crafts to make and sell for profit so you can earn an income from home.
When my oldest daughter was first born, my husband was working full time and in school 4 nights a week. We lived in a new state and I really didn’t know anyone. My aunt noticed I was struggling, and she said “Angie, you need something just for
. Give yourself a project that’s only yours.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was some of the best advice I was ever given.
Since it was winter and I didn’t have the money for a good baby hat, I decided to start crocheting. I’d learned a little as a kid, but never really did anything with it. Since that would be a useful craft, I got to work.
Quickly, I fell in love with making baby hats and started gifting them to friends. Eventually, I started hearing about how I should try selling them, because they were such good quality. It’s not something I’d considered when I started, but since we were hurting for money at the time, I decided to give it a shot.
Little did I know back then that I was embarking on a journey that would last
and grow into something I’d never imagined.
When I got started, I had no idea how huge the craft industry was, and it’s still growing to this day.
If you’re looking for a way to earn money from home, crafting is a way to do that. The best part? You can do it from home. Between Facebook groups, Etsy, Pinterest, or a blog, there’s no need to even leave your house to set up for a craft show if you don’t want to.
