I have just started working from home, and so far it is paying off amazingly!
I put an ad up on gumtree looking for free/cheap unwanted beads and jewelry. I then bought some beading wire, and have started making customized and personalized jewelry. I sell in my local area, and so far make around £50 - £80 per week. And it only cost me £3 to start!
My plan is to now start selling on ebay and set up a website. I am going to need to invest in more supplies though, as I've ran out!
Hopfully if this takes off, I am going to do 'star your own' kits and sell those to. I've got lots of long term plans for all this!
