  • excellent idea to turn hobby into a career. Please keep in mind to factor in shipping, ROI, tax, cost of supplies.  :)

    Hi everyone,
    My partner and I started selling larger woodcraft items and crafts in May and have done far better than expected. Think the use of social media (Instagram & Facebook) really helped. 

    We have done one craft fair at the Makers Market and really enjoyed in. We covered our cost with a profit but got lots of hits to our website following it and a few larger orders so made it totally worth it. Liability insurance is a must I think.  We used Revolut banking and was able to download a free card reader through the app to take payments (with a transaction charge of course). 

    It’s been harder to sell the smaller crafts but I’ve started selling them on Vinted (Removed by Forum Team). Good way to taste out what interest the product gets. Free to sign up and the person pays delivery fee. Only problem is people want to haggle +++

    Can anyone recommend popular Christmas crafts that seem to sell at fairs? 😊
