Your next income venture might be right in front of you!

People ask me about ideas for things that they can make themselves to sell on Internet sites like Etsy.com. I tell them the trick is to come up with things that can be produced rather quickly with quality results and it helps if it's something they can make uniquely their own. It's also beneficial if the items are practical as well as decorative. A healthy dose of whimsy always helps to capture the attention of curious shoppers.

To see a fine example of what I'm suggesting, take a look at the home sewn washcloth puppets on Sewing.org. These home made little cuties would be relatively cheap to make because they're sewn using basic washcloths and some other common sewing supplies. Sewing.org gives you the full instructions for making them and even includes printable patterns for you.
I would think that with modest marketing in the proper venue, you could sell mixed sets of three washcloth puppets for $20 all day long.

Hand made items will always sell well if they're smart and well executed. People just love to buy practical home made items because it gives them the feeling that they're helping out their neighbors at the same time they're buying something they can use. Take a look around your home for those things that you or someone you know could have made yourselves. Who knows, you might have the inspiration for your next income venture hanging on the back of your bathroom door!
