Make Money Creating Scrapbook Pages

Do you love to scrapbook? If you would like to make some extra money and you love scrapbooking, you can make money doing it.

Of course you can do the obvious and join a scrapbooking company and host scrapbooking parties for customers. You will share ideas and sell the product line to the people who attend the scrapbooking parties.

If you do not want to get out and sell scrapbooking products you could design your own scrapbook pages and scrapbooks.

For instance, you can choose a theme and design the page. You can create:
Blue baby pages for boys, pink baby pages for girls, twin baby scrapbook pages, primary colors for toddler boys, princess pink pages for toddler girls, sporting themes such as football, baseball, soccer, basketball, etc., teen birthday party pages with popular teen heartthrobs, game system scrapbook pages such as the Wii, PlayStation, Nintendo DS, X-Box, etc.

High school and college graduation pages may be needed by customers.

Adult scrapbook pages can consist of golf addict pages, bridal shower, bachelor and bachelorette pages, anniversary pages, birthday, fishing, hunting, etc.

You may want to make up some vacation scrapbook pages. Popular places such as Hawaii, California, New York, Paris and Chicago or anywhere you think would sell to customers.
You may also want to offer pre-made scrapbooks. Make up your own unique pages and put them inside of a scrapbook to sell. Another item to offer is a custom made scrapbook. The customer can give you the style of book he or she wants and you can create it.

You can sell your works of art on Etsy.com, eBay, your own website and other crafty websites. You may also want to give your scrapbook pages as gifts to family and friends. People love

receiving handmade items as gifts. Many people do not have time in this busy world and a handmade gift is very thoughtful. Also, others do like the looks of scrapbook pages but feel they are not creative enough to do their own and will purchase your artistic pages.

Make Money Making Gift Baskets

You can make money making gift baskets and sell them online, at craft fairs, to family and friends, and have gift basket parties. Call friends that are Realtors or businesses that need Christmas gifts for clients. You may get a huge chunk of your earnings from this.

Gift baskets are perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, newborn babies, graduations, massage gift baskets, etc. The possibilities are endless. Choose your theme and run with it.

Buy baskets online in a large quantity to get the best deal and most likely free shipping.

Buy your products at discount stores, online and some places even let businesses get an even better discount. You will have to file for a business license to prove you are really a business.
Some examples of gift baskets to make money selling them are:

A Romantic Anniversary Gift Basket for Two:
Purchase a gorgeous gift basket, place a pretty towel in the gift basket such as a wine with grapes on it design and hang the towel over the edge, two candles with candle holders, a bottle of red wine, homemade spaghetti sauce, a chunk of mozzarella cheese, a single rose, two hand painted wine glasses (easily do-it-yourself), a loaf of French bread, a clove of garlic and a romantic jazz CD.

Wine or Martini Gift Basket: Do you have a family member or friend who likes to try new martini drinks or wine? Have fun making up a gift basket for that person. First know if the person likes sweet or sour martinis or red or white wines before choosing. Add a chunk of cheese, some fancy crackers, whimsical napkins, smoked oysters, a fun wine bottle topper, either unique martini or wine glasses, large olives for the martini basket, or a grape and wine table cloth.

Of course you can post both baskets online and make them up for craft fairs and home parties to sell. Be sure to include your business card inside of the basket.

Once you have made up a basket take a photo of it and post it online onto a website that you have created, Etsy.com, eBay or Craig’s List.

You can use your baskets as gifts for family and friends as everyone loves it when people know them and make something personal just for them.

Have Fun Making Money

You can have fun making money by drawing on small tiles. The tiles look hand painted.

First you will need to buy either tiles at a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or buy a Scrabble game. It is less expensive to purchase the Scrabble game as you get over eighty tiles for under $15.00. The wood tiles come in packages of five for a few dollars. You will need thin magic markers that your kids use for school. You will also need Mod Podge to seal your drawings. You can purchase paint for wood in small bottles at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. Don’t forget the small paint brushes, too. You will need one paint brush for the Mod Podge and one to paint with.

You can draw holiday scenes and characters, popular items such as skulls, wine, martini glasses, glue on sparkly gems, paint modern miniature designs, etc. Let your mind wander and have fun.

Once you draw or paint the picture on the tile, let it dry overnight. The following day you can seal the tile with Mod Podge. Do not seal it the same day you paint and/or draw it as the marker and/or paint will smear.

Next you can choose to make the tiles into a necklace, pin or magnet. You will need to pick up bails for the necklace tiles, small pins and magnets to be glued onto the small tiles. You may want to invest in craft glue for wood to make sure the backings stay secure. Easily glue your backing choice and let dry.

I would sell the necklaces for $6.00 each and the pins and magnets for $2.50 or $3.00. (The bails are a little pricier and look fancier than the pins or magnets.)

Sell your tiles online on Etsy.com and/or your own website, craft fairs or you can even have fun at your own jewelry party for family and friends to purchase.

Your kids can help you design the tiles. My eight year old helped me and his tiles look just as good as mine. Just about all of them look whimsical which a lot of people like. Enjoy being creative and have fun making money selling your own mini artwork drawings and paintings. For more information please visit: http://www.preparednessmentor.com/.
