13 Handcraft Businesses You Can Run from Your Sitting Room

Business, business, business. Did you know that there are a lot of businesses that you can start from your home, including handcraft businesses?

Making money from the comfort of one’s home is a dream of so many, especially Stay At Home Moms.

Are you making money and being a full-time mum?

Ah! That’s the good life we are talking about.

But, so many moms don’t know what business they can do from home.

While you can start a blog, vlog, engage in online business, etc., today, I’ll concentrate on making money from handmade crafts.

All humans are creative.

They have beautiful minds that always want to create the next masterpiece.

However, some are more creative or artistic than others.

Handmade crafts are gradually going away, but they should not.

Crafts are usually so pretty and unique because individuals and not machines make them.

For example, a home-based jewellery maker will make more unique designs than a large-scale commercial jewellery maker.

I know so many of you have hand skills.

But I also know that you didn’t think you could make money from that skill.

This is the 21st-century honey; you can make money off anything.

13 Handcraft Businesses You Can Start From Home

1. Jewelry Making:

Jewellery is always in vogue.

Children and adults wear them.

If you love jewellery and can make them, you are good to go.

It can be a full-time job or a part-time job.

You can either make per order or make them and sell them.

You can also decide to deal with customising jewellery for people.

Yes, you can never go wrong with jewellery.

2. Bead Making:

Bead making is another handicraft skill that can give you money from your home.

You can use beads to make jewellery, bags and purses, footwear, vases, decorations, etc.

Just yesterday, I saw this stunning beaded purse, and wow, it was so beautiful.

I asked the young lady how much she bought the bag for, and she said 6,000 Naira.

That is about $12.

So, you can imagine the kind of money you could make doing what you love from home.

If you want to go even deeper, you can occasionally make customized cribs for babies and toddlers.
