Handcraft

There is something special about handcrafted goods.

There is something special about crafts. They are unique and offer a sense of quality and craftsmanship not found in mass-produced products. Not to mention that handmade items are often cheaper than mass-produced items

Handmade not mass produced. Each piece is a unique showcase of craftsmanship. Everyone has their own admirable character. When you buy a handmade item, you are buying a promise of authenticity, a guarantee that no other piece is the same

There are many benefits to handcrafting.

Among its many benefits, handcrafting provides a great source of diversion, makes you Zen, brings new friends into your life and delivers fabulous creations – the handmade fruits of your labors. Of course, we already knew that handcrafting can bring you a huge amount of joy, but that there were so many other benefits surprised us. And as you can well imagine, this prompted us to get right back to it. So, beware: reading this blog post will give you plenty of new insights, but also leave you with the serious urge to… get crafting! [3].

Another benefit of buying handmade is that you’re supporting the artisan’s livelihood. Often times, handmade products are more expensive than mass-produced products, but this is because the artisan is making a living wage and has no costs associated with producing the product

Handcrafting is a great way to learn a new skill.

But enough about me, here’s why YOU could benefit from learning a new craft skill. Whether you are a seasoned crafter that already has mastered at least one skill, or brand new to the crafting world and has only ever done a few finger paints when you were in school…you should be learning a new craft skill[4].

Another option that can be easily carried out in class is modelling. This can be done with the help of plasticine, clay or any other “kneadable” material to create shapes or targets. Making handicrafts is a very entertaining and fun activity for the little ones, to break the routine of everyday life in class. It is very important to motivate children to do them with pleasure!

How to Sell Handcraft

Market your handcraft to the right people.

Following the above pricing formula will help ensure that you can sell your homemade products and make a profit. However, you need to research other sellers, find out what they charge, and adjust your product markups if necessary

Know what you’re selling; who your customer is – and how you can meet that customer’s needs. Do it to the highest standard. It bears your signature and is appreciated. Be passionate about the products you bring to market. Be true to your mission. When the going gets tough, they will. “Rest, but don’t give up.” – Thanks to Marsha Bartenetti and Rachael Sudul of Just in Case, Inc

Figure out what it is you sell.

Following a pricing formula like the one above will help to make sure you can sell your homemade products and make a profit. However, it’s up to you to research other sellers, find out what they’re charging and tweak your product markups where relevant

Know what it is you are selling; who your customer is – and how you fill a need for that customer. Make it with the highest standards. It has your mark on it and needs to be honored. Have a passion for what you bring to the market. Stay true to your mission. And when things get tough and they will. ”Rest, but don’t quit.” – Thanks to Marsha Bartenetti & Rachael Sudul of Just in Case, Inc

Price your handcraft accurately.

Handmade items should be priced, first and foremost, to cover the costs associated with making your products and running your business (including your hourly wage). Then, you should add profits to your prices, and then add a markup to allow for wholesale pricing, customer discounts, or to help cover incidentals

Crafting can be profitable, but it’s essential to price your crafts correctly to make a profit. You’ll need to consider the cost of materials and labor involved in making your craft and what similar items are selling for. By experimenting with different prices, you can find the right one that attracts buyers without pricing your crafts too high or too low. It’s also essential to track how much each item sells to ensure you’re making a profit on each sale
