A great idea to make money and save money is to make homemade Christmas ornaments. You can use a variety of items to create your ornaments.
When I was a child my aunt would buy cheap Styrofoam balls to decorate. Some of the Styrofoam balls had material on them while others did not. The ornaments with the material on were so gorgeous and I usually reached for those. Mainly they were a cranberry color.
We would use plain silver stick pins or stick pins with a white bead on the end, gold and silver sequins, plastic pony beads and strings of scrap material. The ornaments were cheap to make and turned out absolutely stunning. Most of them fit on a tree that is decorated with all different types of ornaments or a more sophisticated Christmas tree that is perhaps Victorian.
You and your family can enjoy spending time together making Christmas ornaments. These will be great to sell at upcoming holiday craft fairs or bazaars.
The Christmas ornaments will make excellent gifts for family, friends, co-workers, bosses and teachers. You will save a mint on gifts by giving your homemade Christmas ornaments as the gifts. People will appreciate your hard work and thoughtfulness in giving a handmade gift as most people do not have the time to make items these days.
1) Get started by purchasing your supplies from discount stores, craft stores or online. Check for the best deals.
2) Call local areas or check online for annual craft fairs and reserve a table now. Let your friends, co-workers and family know you are taking orders of your Christmas ornaments. Before letting them know, you may want to take a few photos of your Christmas ornaments so that they can get an idea on what your ornaments will look like and/or choose which ornament they want to purchase from you.
3) Make once or twice a week family craft night to get together and create your masterpieces to sell and give away as Christmas gifts.
