Some simple, inexpensive crafts people would want to buy but are too lazy to make themselves?
What are some things that people would want to buy that are very easy to make, and per piece are under $5 to be made?
I’m trying to think of a craft i can sell to a local store to make some money. They must be VERY easy, haha.
Please give discriptions and possibly pictures.
thank you!

Jewelry falls in this category. Specifically, necklaces and earrings can be hand crafted very easily. One of my summer jobs when I was a kid was for someone who did this. For volume, he had it made at a factory, but sometimes there were pieces that were not made in volumes high enough for factory (mostly requests or specials.) He hired kids from a temp agency to make those.
All we did was hand make the necklaces and earrings. The expense is mainly in the materials. They ran from very cheap (seashells) to rare polished rocks or stones. He then sold them on consignment at various stores.
Local stores are running tight due to the economy, and don’t want to buy anything. Selling on consignment means that they don’t have to buy your goods. They just put it on the shelf. Anything you sell, you split the profits with the store. Anything they don’t sell, you get back.
