It may happen that sooner or later in the life of a woman there will come a period when she will have to choose between a career and raising a child. Many representatives of the fair sex, having gone on maternity leave, do not want to be inactive and try to earn money with needlework.
Instructions
Step 1
Almost all the girls were still making baubles at school. If this hobby has grown into a serious hobby with age, it is worth considering beading as a business.
Step 2
First of all, you need to assess the level of your own skill. To do this, it is enough to compare your work with the works of masters. If the first ones are clearly not up to the second in terms of performance, it makes sense to graduate from special courses. Or at least practice with books and video tutorials.
Step 3
Immediately it is worthwhile to understand that making money by beading is possible only if you have free time during the day or a desire to work at night. In addition, a needlewoman who dreams of selling her work will need self-discipline, perseverance and a lot of patience.
Step 4
If you perceive beading as a business, you must take into account that there will be no profit without investments. For beautiful jewelry that they want to buy, you need not only high-quality Czech beads, but also rhinestones, semi-precious stones, bugles. The richer the work, the higher will be appreciated the work of the needlewoman. In addition, auxiliary materials will be required: wire, special monofilament, needles, leather (for embroidery). Even if you buy the material gradually, you get a tidy sum.
Step 5
In order to make money with needlework, you need to constantly improve your technique. Of course, you can start with primitive schemes. But you shouldn't get hung up on such works for a long time, since they will not bring any income, and they will take a lot of time and effort.
Step 6
The second stage after weaving simple baubles can be embroidery with beads on the skin. It looks gorgeous, but it is quite simple to perform. The most difficult thing is to weave voluminous flowers and shapes, consisting of several parts. There are similar schemes on the Internet, but it is rather difficult to master them on your own.
Step 7
If you are serious about making money by beading, you need to master not only the technique of performing work, but also the skills of a PR manager. The most beautiful jewelry and accessories will gather dust on the shelf if you fail to present them.
Step 8
To promote your work, you can create a page or group in several social networks. In addition, you need to actively offer them to your friends, colleagues, jewelry and bridal salons, and interior designers. Therefore, in the arsenal of each needlewoman should be diverse work for a wide range of consumers - necklaces, earrings, bracelets, clutches, boxes, flower arrangements, panels, etc.
Step 9
When you start selling your work, don't be shy about setting a price. If the needlewoman does not appreciate her hard work, which cost her eyesight and back health, then potential clients will not see a valuable product in it.
Step 10
The ideal way to make money with beading is to teach. This is done by famous masters who have sold many works, who can read other people's and draw up their own original schemes. Every qualified master strives for teaching, since it gives more money, and takes much less energy and health.
