7 Simple Things to Make at Home for Extra Money

July 24, 2019    |    by Rebecca

7 Cool Things to Make at Home for Extra Money --- Everything Abode

Are you ready to make some unique products to sell online or at local markets to make an extra profit this year?

Today I wanted to give you some fresh ideas for some extremely easy DIY projects that you can make easily in your own home and sell them to make extra grocery money. 

These products don’t need too much money to invest, and in my opinion, are highly marketable and quite easy to make.

We’ll focus on just 7 things that you can easily make so you can start selling them to make extra money on the side. 

Let’s dive into the list and see what you can make to sell for cash now!

7 Things to Make and Sell for Money on the Side

7 Things to Make and Sell for Money on the Side - make money from home - Everything Abode

1. Polymer clay for jar lids, keychains, and jewelry.

/

Polymer clay is a sculpting medium used by crafters and artists alike. 

Polymer is easy to mold and any beginner can start creating jewelry with it or jar lids (if you’re bold like the pin above).

When you bake it, it actually turns into a hard like plastic material so it’s super durable and generally you just have a lot of control over the shape and how you want it to look. 

Choose some accessories to go with it and you are ready to sell!

You can find polymer clay in craft stores such as; Michael’s, Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and you can also purchase it on Amazon. 

 

2. Marbled glassware.

/

Who knew adding color and pattern to your glassware would be so easy? 

Basically, you take your ceramic or glassware and then you fill a tray with water and then pour nail polishes on top. 

Give it a swirl around with a skewer or toothpick to marble the nail polish and then just dip your mug or ceramic in and it will pick up all the colors and it’ll look really great to sell.

Things you’ll need: glassware or ceramics, variety of colorful nail polish, a disposable plastic container, nail polish remover, painters tape (for specific designs), and toothpicks.

 

3. Unique pillowcases.

/

If you’re new to sewing, making pillowcases is a great start to learning the skill and most fabric stores sell really great fabrics that you often cannot find as pillows. 

Things You’ll Need are Fabric, Scissors, Needle, Matching thread, a Sewing machine, and an Iron. 

All you have to do is pick out the fabric, cut the fabric to size, stitch the edges, and the insert stuffing or pillow insert for a basic pillow.

 

4. Bath bombs.

/

If you love bath bombs but can’t justify the price of fancy store-bought ones, then make your own bath bombs at home!

Sell them or use them, the process is simple.

Bath bombs only require a few ingredients such as; powdered citric acid, baking soda, cornstarch, Epsom salts, food coloring, and essential oils! 

You can also make bath bombs with dried flowers and sell them on Etsy or local craft markets. 

 

5. Cement planters.

/

Succulents and cactus are trending in home decor stores and craft markets everywhere these days and they are really easy to make.

All you need is ceramic molds and clay (found at your local craft store) and you are ready to go. 

First, you’ll have to create the mold with boxes or plastic containers.

Then, you’ll have to fill the mold with concrete and allow it to harden for 24 hours. You can paint them or leave them be. Up to you! 

This one would be really easy to market and sell especially if you put some fresh succulents in it as a bonus. 

 

6. Reusable fabric bags.

/

If you want a beautiful and stylish shopping bag? You can make one for yourself and sell the rest! 

Reusable bags are trending and they are not going anywhere anytime soon!

Things you’ll need: fabric, sewing threads, needle, and scissors. 

The best kind of fabric to go with would be a sturdy fabric that won’t rip such as a cotton fabric blend from your local fabric store or upcycled jean materials. 

 

7. Homemade Candles.

/

There are definitely some tutorials on Pinterest but the easiest way is you can meltdown cheap dollar store candles and mix in a crayon in the melted wax (or food coloring) and then repour it into a cute teapot or teacup with a wick and let it set. 

You can find all the candle making supplies you need online on Amazon and start selling them in craft markets or Etsy this week. 

If the product is natural or vegan that can also be a good selling point.

 

Where Can You Sell Your Newly Made Goods? 

You can publish these handmade goods on your own website or an online marketplace like Amazon or Etsy, sell them at farmers’ markets, craft fairs, festivals, or other local events or you can go the wholesale route and start wholesaling to gift shops and boutiques (locally or beyond).


Now all you need to do is pick your favorite and start making it. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to help you out!
