 DIY Crafts to Boost Your Side Hustle: 12 Profitable Handmade Items.

Engaging in crafts brings a unique sense of fulfillment to creators, signifying the act of bringing something into existence.

The satisfaction intensifies when our creations are not only valued but also sold, creating a profound and unforgettable experience.

Reflecting on my initial foray into crafting during a grade school home economics class, where we crafted tablecloths through needlework, that nostalgic memory remains vivid in my mind to this day.

My love for craft stemmed from the fact that my mum who had a good Job then, was very good with her hands, she baked,made clothes, tea towels, aprons, bed sheets, and tablecloths and they were really lovely, I was always eager to help out and learn, I caught the bug alright....  

Today I make a living from crafts and Learn from other craft people what they are making and how they are making it.

I refer to my crafts as  simple home crafts, because I am a professional Artist and handmade crafts compliment what I do. 

My crafts are simple because they are mostly repurposed objects from around my home or objects my friends drop off for me. 

These crafts can be made over the weekend or are crafts that you make in your spare time, to beautify your home or sell. 

I have here 12 crafts that you make easily and can sell to make money, everyone needs a side hustle they enjoy...crafting items is just one of them. 

So the lists starts here:
