Be Your Own Boss Selling Cheap Items with Your Added Touch

Photo copyrighted by Nik. Amaze your customers.

You can become your own boss selling items you doctor up. You do this buy ordering items in large quantities. Then once the items arrive you add your own touch to the items. A few examples include:

A nice looking wooden welcome sign with a wire to hang it up. You can add a different bow to each sign such as checkered, striped and solid colors to the sign to match people’s different décor. Or you can add a raffia bow to the wire on the sign.

Order pretty candles that smell divine in all different fragrances. You can add little charms, small pinecones for Christmas, hearts for love birds, gold or silver items, gems, or bows. Each candle will be unique from your creativity.

When you are your own boss, you can even order small items made out of resin, wood and ceramic to paint. You will be ordering hundreds of these to sell online and at craft shows so you may want to hire someone. The going rate is around .10 cents per piece painted. Make sure the person knows they must do quality work. You will want to check the pieces over as buyer’s will be before they buy from you.

Next either you or another employee will glue gun pins to the back of each item. Price each item with your name or business name on the back.

Items that you can sell for the holidays include small snowmen, santas, angels, animals in holiday décor, wreaths, Christmas trees, and crosses. Every day items to paint include flowers, hats, modern shapes, animals, little children, etc.

To find these small items to doctor up and make your own, look online for bulk miniature ceramics, resin and wood items. You can get a discount on items as you will be a person in business buying in bulk versus a person who only wants a few items.
