Lard art is the way to go.
I always love to make lanyards.
Also, people like knit or crochetted things.
Like hats and scarfs!
Also, a lot of people like friendship bracelets.
I think they’re really easy, but it might be different for you.
Since I’m 13 I like really simple, cute things that stand out.
It depends on what your talents are. Are you good with yarn and needle? If so you can make any number of things like afgans, clothes, pot holders, jewlery, pillows, stuffed animals, hats, gloves, socks, table cloths, table runners, book marks, book covers, place mats, bags, purses, lace trim on pillow cases, the ideas are endless.
Hi, I am also a crafter, and have tried to diversify a bit.
Sewing skills?
Go to local fabric store when they are selling patterns for 2 or 3 dollars. There are a wide variety of easy craft ideas there. In my experience, gardening items like sunhats, garden totes etc. are big sellers. This is especially true in the summer.
Any type of baby item that you can sew is great. I am currently working on baby carriers, since it is very en vogue to do “baby wearing”. They are really simple, and inexpensive with on sale fabric. So you make a good profit.
My last sewing project idea is super easy, inexpensive, and a hot item. Handsewn “reusable” grocery bags. I also make smaller bags with drawstrings for folks who buy bulk foods. These can be made with scraps from other projects and clothesline, twine, or ribbon. Try to just use what you have on hand. More money that way.
If you are creative, my suggestion would be to get into jewelry making. You can buy value bags of pretty glass beads, look for sales, etc. Watch what you are spending, because any jewelry over $15 right now seems to stagnate a bit.
Look online for dip mixes. These are small bags of different flavored mixes that you mix into sour cream for an instant dip.
I have not done anything with personal products such as lotion, soap, sprays, etc, But I have a friend who does, and she really does well, and has quite a fanbase.
Hope one of these inspire you. Otherwise, walk around the craft store, and get inspired.
Hi, I also am working on some craft projects for a craft sale. I am doing Terry cloth baby bibs with a applique on the front, quilted check book covers and easy wallets to machine quilt. How about a quillow quilt with the built in pillow?
