he Hobby and Craft Niches Ideas offers you ideas for loving the ability to create and engaging others in what you enjoy doing.
The ability to create is awesome and wonderful. The ideas within these pages, some are new and some are expansions on existing ones, may stimulate you to develop them into exciting businesses.
Hobby and Craft Niches Ideas are separated into four sections:
I look at these ideas in a different way, from dismal to amusing, to create new, exciting ways to use leisure time and possibly to profit from it. You can become a specialist with traditional and non-traditional abilities. Your love of people can also lead you to a rewarding hobby or craft niche.
Some of the activities can be used to create income; others are suggested for the pleasure of serving others. You may find a hobby that inspires you or you are proficient in. If you have developed the skill to produce a product in a reasonable amount of time to fulfill orders, excellent. Or, if the act of creating or serving helps you to learn about yourself, perfect a skill or an attribute like artistry; patience; humility, or love.
Thumb Print was an idea that began in college in 1977 to create crafts from clothing to quilts. It integrated my love and appreciation for art in clothing and multi-dimensional objects. I bring to it over forty years of education in art, needle craft and design. It all began with my first teacher, my mother whom I thank daily, who taught me how to knit, crochet, and sew.
