Do any of you sell things that you have made?

Thinking of starting a hobby making stuff that I can then sell on.
Any of you do this? What do you make? Do you do it full time?

I sell the jewellery and accessories that I make, can't make a full time job of it as things like the mortgage etc need paying. But am hoping to generate more sales.

I sell via my website and by doing craft fairs.

I dont think anybody would want to buy anything I made unfortunately :rotfl:

Good luck with your search though - make sure that you have covered off any safety requirements etc if necessary.

System

Used to make small craft items (mainly jewelry). Good for making a few extra quid, but generally competition is fierce (especially on Ebay). Selling at posh craft fairs is expensive, but often worth it. Made most money selling to family/friends/colleagues.

Don't forget to register with HMRC within 3 months of starting otherwise there may be penalties payable.

I'm all registered and I even have proper insurance, now all I need is to actually sell some stuff
