Answer 1

hemp jewelry, scented bath salts, for the jewelry look up elainecrafts.com
for bath salts get a bag of salt like you put in ice cream machines or on the sidewalk when there is ice, it needs to be just plain salt, no extra chemicals in it. pick out the rocks, sent with perfume oil, and color with drops of food coloring, my daughter and i used to make this in huge popcorn bowls and then put in small jars we found at flea markets and such and we sold it at ren faires and other places, ive done jewelry for years and now she has caught the bug. by the way, flea you are wrong, we arent all that jealous of what sells, we just try to make ours more attractive. actually kacky, ive been doing it a long time and one of the best shows was on mothers day weekend and kids and fathers bought tons of bath salts because they realized they forgot things for mom. dont trash other beginners. you had to start somewhere too. im almost 60, i think ive seen most of the ups and downs of crafts, but my daughter used to make little friendship bracelets and sell at school, everyone has to get brave enough to try.

Answer 2

i hate to bust ur bubble but just because u make something cute and inexpensive, doesn't mean it will sell. U have to make something that people want and homemade items are best sold at craft fairs. U can try flea markets but if u do raise ur price before u start so the people can wheedle u down to the price u actually want.
good luck
if u crochet, get a book on potholders, i've been selling them for years at $3 each or 2 for$5

Answer 3

This is unanswerble, since you never know what's going to sell until you try it. Not only that, crafters spend a lot of time, money, and effort coming up with an idea- they just aren't going to give a money-making idea away.

Answer 4

Usually it works the other way around, where someone has been making something for a while and they get so good at it that they realize they can get money for it. I've never heard of anyone doing it your way. Anything you make will be do-able by anyone else, so why would they pay you for it?

Answer 5

You can but you could also sell them in yard sales, swap meets, flea markets, or have some local business buy them from you.

Answer 6

Crochet potholders they are selling for $10 to $25 on eBay now.
