Any Craft Ideas?!

Badsaver

I know this is a bit of a silly question because if someone knew...why would they share... but..... has anyone any ideas of something I can make and sell on ebay?!

Baby blankets sell well, there is one design with a flower design that I have seen a lot of people go for. The shaker style wooden plaques with little quirky messages on are quite popular. Most things you can make yourself have little profit in for the amount of time you spend making them, I've tried a few different things but cant be bothered anymore.

I did glass paintings for a while getting leads off "want it now" The thing is with stuff like plaques is Id have to pay quite a lot for the equipment in the first place on which Id prob struggle. I know to make money you have to spend money but to spend money you have to make money!! And I only have my wage coming in!!!

I could do that now!!! I used to try and sell stones out of my garden painted with nail polish when I was about 6!!! Do you think that will still work?! (Or maybe the cute factor has worn out 16 years later!!)

You never know.

I'm always baffled by what does sell on ebay.

hi i dont wish to put a dampner on it but if your not getting rid of stuff you no longer want or need by selling on ebay then you will have to class yourself as a business seller and ebay isnt really favouring sellers at the mo
so would it be worth it?

Crochet blankets. People - especially from the USA - just love those granny squares.

I've bought hand-knitted jumpers, beanies, toddler stuff and blankets; handcrafted cards and jewellery; hand-sewn one-off shirts and skirts and handmade garden furniture (from a community of special needs and blind workers). Ebay has opened up the market for these astonishing craftsmen and women.

Do a search using words like: bespoke, handmade, hand-crafted, handspun, hand-dyed, handknitted etc - and be amazed.
