YOUR CREATIVE SIDE...
Get good at something and take it to your local shops to see if they will display it on a sale or return basis. Have a stand or a table at any events in the area and put your wares on show. Attend the big craft shows that tour the country and promote your crafts.
JEWELLRY MAKING
Make jewellery, lets face it most of us ladies love a bit of bling! Lots of companies sell pretty beads and silver and gold. Bespoke jewellry is something that will set people apart, and lets face it we all want to have something that no one else has.

POTTERY AND SCULPTURE
Did you see the movie GHOST with Demi Moore and lushious Patrick Swayze? Then that could inspire you to start tossing some clay around – a wonderful touchy feely creative craft and you could end up being another Emma Bridgewater! Or just do unusual pots – we all have needs for pots and vases to put stuff in. You will have to invest in a firing oven and other essentials but if you have a shed in the garden its a start! You could even take it a step further and do pottery parties for kids!
