Hi, My name is Emma. I have created many recycled projects for a couple of years now. Mostly holiday crafts. I am a stay at home mom and our budget is limited so I make things.
My question is how do I sell my ideas or get them online so I get credit for creating them?
I use a lot of milk gallon jugs, cardboard, soda bottles, water bottles, anything recycled to make Halloween and Christmas crafts. I do have pictures of some.
I have a lot to offer; so how can I do this? I'm new to trying to get my ideas out there.
Thanks in advance.
Emma

Hi Emma,
There are so many different ways you can go in order to get your designs online, it’s hard for me to know where to begin.
Recycled eco-friendly crafts are extremely popular these days. That gives you a leg up. You have the vision and artistic sense to see what something can become – and to realize that vision.
To get a clearer idea of what direction you want to go, think about the following two issues.
What is the Market Value of Your Designs?
What do you do with the things you create? Do you give them all away or use them yourself? Do you have any idea of their market worth?
Have any of your friends asked you to make something for them and offered to pay? Do people marvel at your clever ideas? Have you sold any items to friends or at craft fairs or school bazaars? Positive responses to your gifts and especially requests to buy your recycled crafts, are a strong indication of market value. Actual sales are even better.
You need some type of market validation before you should even think about going online with your ideas or patterns. If you already have market validation, it may be time to get your ideas online.
To be continued tomorrow …
