Quilting Projects to Generate Income
Get Ready for Sports Season
It may be spring, but football season will be here before you know it. Consider creating a few items with a sports team’s logo on them. Throws, stadium seat cushions, and travel pillows are the perfect items to create for the avid sports fan. Use the team colors with some imagination thrown into the mix. Football fans spend several hours in the elements so any comfortable items make great additions to their adventures. You can also create products for other sports fans such as soccer, baseball, and more. Sports quilts are especially great for a child’s bedroom. Making sure there is a demand for what you are creating is important and targeting your rollout prior to the season is important.
Holiday Gifts Galore
Following football season is one of the busiest times for crafty, DIY artisans. Due to holiday decorating or gift buying it’s a prime time for product selling. The holidays pose as a prime time to make some extra cash. People constantly look for unique gifts for their loved ones. Advertise some of your favorite creations on social media platforms, like Facebook, so they will be seen by your followers. Quick and easy items can be created almost on request so that your work is more customized for your customers. Welcome positive feedback from your friends that will work as testimonials for your product.
Quilts For Gift Giving
Customizing your craft goes a long way when it comes to gifts. Possibly using pieces of fabric from a child’s baby clothes would be a sentimental gift for a child leaving for college. Create a catalog that gives gift ideas to a potential customer. Have it posted on a website showing the samples of your craft and giving people an idea of how they might have you personalize a quilt for them to give.
Housewarming Gifts
Most people have friends and/or family that move to different homes or apartments. You can use your quilting skills to liven up their new homes! Offer them discounts for your products so that their moves are easier to deal with. An inexpensive quilt can comfort tired people as they unpack and settle into their new home. It also livens up their furniture by adding pops of color.
Turning your passion into a business is a win, win!
