			Turn An Arts And Crafts Hobby Into A Business
  
				  
Are you searching for a quick way to make an extra income?  
 Why not turn that Cooking Interest, Comic Book Collecting,  or Your Retro Clothing Collection Into A Home Based  Business Venture!  
 Most people enjoy hobbies they have pursued with great  enthusiasm for years. Even though they may find their  leisure activities fulfilling and enjoyable they never  imagined making money with a fun hobby!  
 The world is packed with amazingly talented people.  
 Are you one of these gifted individuals?   These talented individuals might have a passion for  sewing fabulous original wardrobes, marvelous hand  knitted items, furniture making, creative paintings,  photographs, jewelry art, greeting card design, doll  making, original toys, baby clothing, candle making,  quilting, calligraphy, fancy soap making, about  anything you can imagine!   
 Crafting is actually a great way to start a  home business on a shoe string. You might want  to start on a small scale by offering your creative work to friends and family. Later on, once you have enough products, you might decide  to rent a booth at local flea markets or crafts shows  to display your work.   
 As you may know the Arts And Crafts Industry Is Enjoying  An Amazingly Phenomenal Popularity. People are eager to  purchase hand made clothing, furniture, custom made  keepsakes or jewelry. If you have the creative talent this  is one business you should  
				 
				
 
				 consider!   
A friend, Joyce, diverted her obsession with candle making into a thriving business. She started by selling her hand made scented candles to friends and neighbors. Word of mouth spread about her candles. Soon she was  receiving enough orders to keep her very busy.  
 Joyce throws house parties to sell her candles and also takes custom orders from ads she runs in local newspapers. Next, she plans to take her candles to the stores and malls in her area.  
 I recently read about a middle aged fellow who turned his  knowledge about collecting rare comic books into a thriving  business.   
 Imagine?   
 Several hundred of his old comic books are now worth their  weight in gold.  And his wife is no longer protesting  about the space the old editions take up in their home.  
 Think about it!   
 What's your passion?  
 What's your leisure time interest?   
 Could your leisurely pursuits translate into a lucrative business?
