Top 10 crafts to sell (and how much money you’ll make)

-

 Want to sell your crafts? Well, here’s the top ten most popular crafts to sell, and what they sell for! 

Keep in mind that the price will vary. And I’ve estimated the amount based on if you were selling to strangers. If you are making things for family and friends, never charge them unless they insist. And even then, charge very little. 

1. Jewelry    (Can honestly sell for over 50 dollars. If you’re selling to family and friends, and the jewelry is about medium quality [I mean no offense] you should charge around 10 dollars per item.) 

2.  Wall paintings (up to 175 dollars based on quality, buyers, and the amount of money you spent on creating your piece) 

3. Photos (100 to 250 dollars. But it depends on who’s paying and what the photo is of. If you are doing a professional photo shoot of a family or person or sometimes even pets, you can charge around 150 bucks an hour.)  

4. Soap (2 dollars per ounce) 

5. Candles (fancy candles can sell for around 30 dollars.) 

6. Embroidered crafts (between 15 and 50 dollars depending on what you’re embroidering, how long you’re working on it, and the cost of your thread + materials.) 

7. Totes (it honestly depends on if you’re making real bags or a tote. Fancy, well made bags can be sold for 220 dollars. But totes can sell for around 50 instead.) 

8. Pet toys (usually pretty cheap. Around 15 dollars. You can charge up to 25 if there are multiple toys in the pack, or if they have special uses) 

9. T - Shirts  (10 to 50 dollars.) 

10. Home decor products.    (there are so many types of home decor. An easy way to figure out the price is to take the price of the materials you used in making it, plus 10 dollars per hour spent working. So if you made a storage basket and the price of the yarn was 30 dollars, and the price of the hot glue was 12 dollars, that would be 42 dollars. If you spent 3 hours making it, you would add the 42 dollars and the 30 dollars to get a total price of 72 dollars. If I did any of the math wrong, I apologize. It is not my strong suit.)

    To figure out how to price your crocheted items, add the price of your yarn and needles and 10 dollars per hour spent working on the item. The average price of yarn seems to be around 30 bucks (for a few skeins) and if you spend 2 hours working on it, you’d end up with fifty dollars. That’s just a rough estimate though and it really depends on the piece you’re making.

Christmas to do list:

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them. Take the days off from responsibilities.  4. Do your Christmas baking. Package up boxes to send to neighbors and family.  5. Test out Christma

A Socially Awkward Teen

-
 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything
