So, thinking about it, in this article, we have selected some types of crafts that can be made to sell and thrive economically, see them below!

1 – Woodworking

The use of wood for the manufacture of handicrafts to sell is one of the most traditional segments of the profession. In general, the wood used is MDF; it is the cheapest type of wood, which allows introducing a high value in the product.

The types of wood crafts are diverse, old furniture can be reused to create pieces to decorate the house – such as using old drawers or wooden boxes as decorative niches – or make painting or decoupage (piece of wood decorated in most of the times, With napkins or colored pictures), in pieces that are bought in specialized stores.

2 – Biscuit Crafts

Biscuit craftsmanship is also well known and sought after by artisan clients, as this is a very beautiful, delicate work, and used mainly as a gift for mothers of newborns.

Biscuit dough is also known as cold porcelain because it dries out the outdoors, without having the need to go to the oven. What is interesting in the mass of biscuit is that you can model, dye and paint, and from there shape your pieces of crafts.

You can buy biscuit dough in specialized stores, or you can make it at home with simple and inexpensive ingredients, see:

Ingredients:

01 teaspoon lemon or vinegar.

01 teaspoon of moisturizing cream without silicone.

02 cups of corn starch tea.

02 cups white tea (this glue is special for the cold mass).

02 tablespoons liquid petroleum jelly.

The method of preparation:

The dough should be microwave or ready to cook. On the stove you just have to mix everything and stir with a wooden spoon, when the dough comes off the pan, it will be ready for use.

If you prefer in the microwave, it should be mixed in a sturdy glass container. Take it to the microwave and after 30 seconds remove and remove with a wooden spoon until it peels off the bottom of the cup.

To knead the dough it is enough to extend it on a smooth surface like a marble stone, a table of glass or of wood and to make the same movements made to make the bread dough. Ready! Now you just have to use your creativity and make the most beautiful crafts in a biscuit.
