How do I make my products?
Once you’ve picked a craft that you enjoy making or you’re passionate about, the next step is to focus on quality and which styles or specific items you want to list and sell! You’ll have to see if you can get some materials at a wholesale price instead of retail price on Amazon, Alibaba or other wholesale websites.
If buying wholesale is too much for a big step to take, you can always start small and buy from your local craft shops and price accordingly til you feel more confident to invest more capital and purchase wholesale!
You’ll need to set up a small area in your home where you can securely store the products you make as well as any shipping boxes, labels, packaging and supplies. I suggest getting a bunch of clear bins that you can just stack on the side.
Clear bins help you see the stock of all your products so you know when to get some more.
What should I keep in mind when I start a craft business?
Keep in mind that every city has different business policies so make sure to read up on how to register your business, declare your income, all the shipping details, how long supplies take to deliver, marketing, and overall how much time it will take.
Where can I buy supplies?
You can literally search up on Google, x wholesale and find a ton of businesses that sell supplies. Alternatively, the most popular shops to purchase supplies are:
