I fancied doing a challenge so have decided to Turn Stash Into Cash! I have been crafting for well over 25 years and have accumulated loads of stuff which needs using up. There is a tower full of 'useful stuff'' .....
Wool and yarn are tucked into a corner of the living room.....
And there is 'stuff'' in the darkest recesses......
I have plastic boxes of yarn in the spare wardrobe too so seriously need to have a clear out.
The plan is to:
a) Make things to sell either at craft fairs or on eBay
b) Sell surplus craft items on eBay
c) Give excess stock to my favourite charity shop
I will record on here any money that I make but equally any money that I spend because I know I will need card blanks, adhesive, gems and ribbon at some stage to complete certain projects. I will, however, try to use up before spending (I want to spend as little as possible, obviously) The challenge will run for at least 6 months. Here goes.... :)
Thanks so much to all the people who commented on my last post. I am still in shock. Good news, however, SiL is enjoying the challenge of his new job even though he has not yet received a penny from the company nor an official contract of employment :/ He now has 'Man Flu' but has gone into work anyway ;)
Thanks so much for popping in. Stay safe x
That's a fab idea.
ReplyDeleteWhen I gave up cardmaking (I was doing it as a business) I joined a Facebook group and sold all my stash on there. It was fabulous and I got rid of pretty much everything I wanted to be rid of.
Hope SiL gets well soon.
Hugs-x-
I've never used Facebook to sell but it's an idea worth exploring, Sheila, thank you :) xx
DeleteBetter to make some pennies from it than have it sat around. xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Marlene, it's mostly gathering dust :/ xx
