Creative self-realization is a natural need for many people. Possessing some imagination and having mastered one or several methods of decorative and applied art, craftsmen produce unique things. How to combine business with pleasure and earn income from your hobby?

Step 1
There are two main ways to make money on handicrafts: by setting up the sale of hand-made products, or opening a store selling accessories and handicraft materials that will be used by craftsmen in their work.
Step 2
For those who own arts and crafts, you need to tell potential buyers about it. This can be done easily: create your own page on social networks, where you can demonstrate the created work. It will be useful to participate in thematic groups dedicated to a particular type of needlework. Such groups are often visited by users who have fallen in love with hand-made products for their originality and exclusivity, and the masters put up their works for sale.
Step 3
Professional communities are useful for authors of works from the point of view of creative growth. Often, the products of other craftsmen can push on their own original ideas, suggest options for performing certain tasks, inform about new products on the market of materials, methods of needlework or tools. All this will enrich the experience of the master and allow him to develop, expanding the range of works of authorship. This, in turn, is sure to grab the attention of buyers.
Step 4
It will be useful to provide for the possibility of sending purchased products to residents of other regions of the country - this will expand the circle of buyers.
Step 5
You can make money on any kind of handicraft - soap making, beading, knitting, macrame weaving, sewing, quilling, scrubbing and many others. And it doesn't matter whether the work has a practical application or is intended simply to decorate premises - exclusivity and individuality make it highly valued in society.
Step 6
Those who are not able to make hand-made with their own hands can also make money on needlework. To do this, it is enough to issue an individual entrepreneur and start selling accessories and materials necessary for solving certain creative problems. Even opening an online store that does not require renting premises and issuing documentation for its maintenance or security is quite capable of generating income for its director. And the placement on the store page of links to master classes and websites of authors selling hand-made products will increase the flow of visitors and will certainly attract buyers who will immediately wish to make something original for themselves.
Step 7
It happens that the author himself, no matter how talented and prolific he may be, lacks the organization and skills to establish a successful sale of his products. In such a situation, an intermediary can earn money on needlework, agreeing to act as a sales agent for the work of a master for an appropriate remuneration.
