Craft for Food

I work on a farm that has peacocks, and we sell the feathers that drop every year. But we have started to make earrings with the tips, and now we are looking for new ideas on what we could create and sell for some minor revenue.

Ideas we have already had include other jewelry, such as necklaces or brooches, as well as keychain ornaments or clear bookmarks.

If you could buy something made with real feathers, what would you be willing to get?

I forgot to add I’m looking for small items made of redwood that could be used in crafting or jewelry making.

So I sew plushies and make jewelry and im having a bit of an art block. My plushies are not normal teddy bears and stuff and im having issues coming up with an original idea. Can anyone give me out and give me some creative ideas on what to make. Thanks.

My girlfriend is very much into a) DIY jewelry, among other things making jewelry by bending wire, and b) anything that’s loud, bright or vaguely dangerous.

For the above reasons, I considered buying her a gas torch as a present, so she could take her jewelry-making to the next level and indulge her pyromaniac nature at the same time.

Since neither I nor she have any clue about making crafts/jewelry in this way, I wanted to ask if anybody can recommend books or websites on the topic.

My daughter’s 12th birthday is coming up, and she wants to do a craft. I’ve spent days looking online for group craft kits and can’t seem to have any luck. The items I’m finding withtin my price range seem cheap or boring. I need a kit that will make at least 8 to 10 of whatever it is, not just one or two.

I always hear about people who find old overstock/dead stock/bulk (often vintage) items like stickers, stationery, jewelry, craft supplies, toys, and other cool stuff–however, they never really say where or how they came across them. Aside from looking in vintage stores and hoping for the best, does anybody know where to look for and how to obtain this kind of merchandise?
