Starting your own at-home craft business is relatively easy (compared to most ventures). There’s no need to rent a retail space, pay for expensive utilities, hire employees, or adhere to set business hours. With an at-home craft business, you are completely in charge. You are only limited by your own imagination! You can set aside time to work on your projects while your little one naps, your older kids are at school, or simply while listening to your favorite podcasts.

A complete list of profitable craft ideas for 2022

How to start an at-home craft business

The best way to start an at-home craft business is to start with a plan. Cause everyone knows, if you fail to plan–you plan to fail. Decide which products to make and sell Crunch the numbers and come up with a reasonable price point Create an inventory Sell first to neighbors, family, and friends Collect reviews from neighbors, family, and friends (make changes to your product based on these reviews) Apply to craft shows, festivals, fairs, and flea markets Create an online shop (website, Etsy shop, Shopify store, eBay, [email protected], etc.) Advertise your wares by word-of-mouth and online in Facebook groups, Craigslist, etc. If selling at a craft fair set up an eye-catching yet organized booth Keep a record of inventory/sales After the craft fair, re-evaluate prices and raise/lower if necessary. Did some products sell like hotcakes? If so, make more and consider raising the price. Rinse and repeat

Craft with words-start a money-making blog

Once thought to be just a hobby for bored housewives, blogging has quickly become a viable way for men and women alike to earn a pretty decent part/full-time income from home. In the past 3 years, I’ve earned over 6-figures from blogging. And I did it without any special technical skills. In fact, when I started blogging just 4 short years ago, I couldn’t have told you the difference between a pdf and a jpeg! In my defense, I waited until I was over 40, and my experience with computers was limited to checking my email and reading my favorite blogs.

Seriously, If I can do it ANYONE can!

I managed to learn the ins and outs of blogging and have turned my passion for crafting with words into a semi-passive income stream.

The best part about starting a blog is that if you have crafts to sell, you can set up a shop through WooCommerce, Shopify, or Convertkit on your own website. How cool is that?

Super easy crafts to make and sell

A little paint, some glue, and a few basic supplies are all it takes to complete the next few projects.

Papercrafts to make and sell

Even in this digital age, good old-fashioned paper isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Even better, digital downloads are not only fairly easy to create (you can use Canva to make everything from calendars to party planners), they are also very cheap to create. Which, at the end of the day, means more moolah in your pocket!

Sewing crafts to make and sell

You’d be surprised how many people do not know how to sew {raising my hand}. I grew up watching my grandma churn out blankets, clothes, dolls, and more on her collection of sewing machines and I was (and continue to be) in awe of all of the things one can create if they have a sewing machine. But, alas, I (like millions of others) do not own a sewing machine, and I lack the desire to learn how to sew. Instead, I happily purchase face masks, pillows, blankets, etc. from crafty, talented ladies who actually know the difference between backstitching and basting!

Spa crafts to make and sell

Who doesn’t enjoy a good pamperin’? Homemade soap, lotion, and bath bombs are often far superior to store-bought versions both in terms of quality and cost. In fact, every year I look forward to our small community craft fair so I can stock up on my yearly supply of goat’s milk soap in my favorite scents.
