There is an old adage that says work isn't really work if you enjoy
what you're doing. If one of your hobbies is jewelry making, why not
turn this activity into a source of income? You're already having fun
anyway, and it wouldn't take a whole lot more to share your jewelry
creations with people who would appreciate them and be more than happy
to pay for them. With a bit of extra effort, time management and
discipline, jewelry making is a great way to have fun and make a bit
of extra money on the side.
Whether you're a novice about to enter the jewelry making field for
the first time or whether you've been doing this for some time now,
there are always several basic factors to consider. First, it's
important to have an adequate amount of space where you can work
unbothered for a certain length of time each day and where you can
store your jewelry making materials and tools. It doesn't have to be a
large space, just a corner or room where you can concentrate on
bringing your ideas to life and be free from undue distractions.
Second, if you haven't already, decide on the kind of jewelry you are
going to make. If you're just getting your feet wet in the jewelry
making arena, start out with something simple. Think about what type
of jewelry you'd enjoy and feel comfortable wearing and go on from
there. Whatever materials you might need are readily available either
on the Internet or in a physical retail store. Then, as you become
more adept at what you're doing, you can start exploring other, more
complex jewelry making techniques. Remember, there is a plethora of
information resources to help you make money from your hobby: books,
specialty magazines, the Internet, and other jewelry makers.
After you've made a number of jewelry items, there are steps you can
take to get other people interested in them. Be a walking
advertisement for your jewelry making business. Wear some of your
creations whenever you go out: wear them to work, when you go to the
supermarket, or when you attend parties. Word of mouth is also a great
way to let other people know about your jewelry making endeavor. Show
some of your finished pieces to family and friends, and encourage them
to spread the word.
The important thing to remember is that you continue to enjoy making
jewelry and to take pride in your creations. Your love for jewelry
making will be the key factor in maintaining your creativity level and
it will help you come up with the designs that appreciative customers
will buy. Never forget the 'fun' factor in jewelry making, as this
will be reflected in your work, and the 'profit' factor will follow.
