Now we need handmade, exclusive, individual style.
An unforgettable gift for your women will be the vacuum cleaner from Samsung online store Fotos.ua.
But because the hand-made every year becomes more and more popular. In almost every city you can find shops copyright things, the masters gather in communities, create sites and publish magazines. We all know that the best work is a hobby that brings in money, and these people prove so alluring thesis in practice. The benefit to be creative and even turn it into a home based business anyone can do. The main thing - to choose the suitable direction.
Paperwork
Scrapbooking (literal translation - "the book of clippings") is a special way of arranging photo albums, diaries and notebooks. This is a complex collage of photos, postcards, drawings, illustrations, lace and other materials at hand. Usually, this album covers a particular theme: graduation, wedding, birth of a child, etc.
In General, scrapbooking can be considered a descendant of albums English girls - with photos, poems and quotes. For example, reached us scrapbook Mata Hari - the photo album, personal journal and archive of cut out newspaper articles under one cover. Today scrapbook can become not only a creative rethinking family Chronicles, but also quite profitable business. For example, a wedding photo album or notebook makes a boring office exclusive, and such transformations are a lot of money. Like any piece thing.
A close relative of scrapbooking - cardmaking, creating postcards. It uses similar techniques and materials, good paper, many types of glue and decorative elements can be bought in specialized shops. Only thing to buy will not work, unique ideas, but that's all the value of paper hand-Maida.
Doll
For those who are not playing with dolls, there's a painless way back to childhood - to their delight and admiration of others. Author's dolls is a special story that is not necessary to tell between reality and therefore we will limit ourselves to the practical side of the issue.
Making a doll? Usually made of plastic (pretty easy to handle material resembling clay), or paperclay (material based on cellulose and glue). However, this is an area of art in which the author's imagination will not be able to limit any canvas. Dolls made of felt, wire, wood, fabric. In all major cities regularly conduct training seminars, and under competent leadership in a month or two you make a good doll.
Teddy Bear
Once the first Teddy bear was invented as a competitor expensive and pretentious porcelain doll. Humanized bear standing on its hind legs, quickly fell in love with young buyers and more than a century, does not leave the shop Windows. Teddy bear Teddy devoted about a hundred songs, many books, the most famous of which is "Winnie the Pooh". There are more than twenty museums Teddy, and the auction Christie periodically puts up for sale the most famous of them.
There are two ways to learn to make their own toys. To buy the materials, download the pattern and work independently in lessons and books available on the Internet. And you can go to a seminar or special courses. Both options have their advantages, but keep in mind that lessons can dramatically reduce training time - the first bear you will do in a couple of days, and within two weeks you will learn how to develop your own patterns.
Lampwork
Perhaps the hottest trend hand-Maida today. Lampwork is creating jewelry from glass. In this technique fulfilled so popular necklaces and earrings, occupying the first places in competitions copyright things. In short technology is as follows: using special compact burner melt the glass, and then wound it on the needle. So it turns out the simplest bead. Today at online stores you can buy the most convenient and simple equipment, necessary tools and glass. The starter set will cost 150-200$. Technique, though it seems complicated, but to gain a basic level for a two-week courses on the second or third day, you will get the usual beads, in a week you will cope with decorations more difficult.
Decoupage
If lampwork and dolls from paperclay seem too complicated, just try to master the technique of decoupage. This application, which after varnishing looks like a painting. Invented this technique a few centuries ago, when Europe came the fashion for Chinese lacquer furniture. Local craftsmen skillfully forged painting, and as a result of counterfeit furniture in Europe was much more than he could bring from the East.
Appliques are applied to boxes, musical instruments, cups. In the same way to make rings, lockets and earrings, decorated with clothes and shoes (e.g. sneakers). It also has its own secrets. For example, lacquer, diamond glitter applied on any surface, instantly turning it to the "porcelain". Another focus of the repertoire of contrafaction - craquelure lacquer, acrylic-based, which after drying cracks and turns plywood box in the noble vintage. The whole process takes several minutes and requires no special skills - just a godsend for those who don't know which side to approach creativity.
Soap
A couple of years ago, this idea would seem pretty eccentricity. Someone will need to mix the ingredients, when in the shop you can buy any soap from the usual antibacterial to exotic, with pieces unprecedented fruit. Today homemade soap-making - a fashionable hobby and a very profitable occupation.
There are several ways of cooking soap at home, but the most popular ones - processing of the finished bars. Hypoallergenic soap unscented or transparent soap base fray on a grater, then add essential oils, flower petals, cinnamon, vanilla, herbal teas, ground oatmeal or scrub. You can pour the soap in figure form, you can make it multi-layered, and pour the clear basis cinnamon sticks, nuts or sliced fruit. The simplest things are transformed beyond recognition, is to assess their opinion of the artist.
How to sell?
The most popular trading platform among lovers of hand-Maida community in "Live journal". For example, the main Russian-speaking community read more than ten thousand people. In any case, learn from those who have already achieved a certain success in your favorite hobby. We all more or less well-known artists have a blog and a personal website with an online order.
In the Internet there are many online shops that work or with some one direction hand-Maida, or with the author's products in General. For example, one of the largest in the world - etsy. com. Hand-made with great pleasure that I accept to implement in the usual gift shops, all major cities have stores that specialize in manual work. As a rule, the author assigns the price and gets the money after the sale. Try to find buyers can also through specialized magazines.
In addition, from time to time in different cities are fair copyright toys, designer jewelry and other hand-Maida (for example, the international doll salon, Sunday Up Market, "Hand-made Bazaar", the Moscow exhibition of dolls and Teddy bears).
Pattern miracle
However, the most important thing in the hand-maid's still not art and not the tools. The main ideas that come simultaneously with the desire to possess exclusive thing, the only instance in the world. And even desire this thing to give to someone close instead of another boring tie.
If you'll stroll through the shops of author's products, you will see a lot simple in execution, but invaluable in the maintenance of things. Exclusive takes different forms: table lamp beads with a slender Eiffel tower on the steep side; a simple plaque on the door reads "Angels are always welcome"; cups, boxes, jangling bracelets and door bells. Hand-made is not honed to perfection technique, things with meaning, with its own character and person. Is this something from demiurge crafts. In the end, any man-made miracle begins with pattern.
