There has never been a better time than now to consider plaster crafting at home as a business
opportunity. The UK is facing a possible recession and ways to make extra money to meet ever increasing costs is more important now than ever before. But why
plastercasting or plaster cast mould making?
Well, here are
5 very good reasons;
1. Very low start up costs
2. Huge variety of subjects and finishes to cast
3. No two objects are ever the same - no boredom!
4. Very high profits
5. Professional back up and support from www.plastercraftingforprofit.com
Virtually everyone has access to the internet and more people are buying products online, more importantly everyone can start their own virtual store to sell their goods.
(Ebay for example)
To give you an idea of the variety of plaster crafting options you have, here is just a taste of some of the things you can do; but you are only limited by your imagination.
plaster feng shui models i.e. Buddha
plaster chess sets
plaster cornice casting, decorative plaster and ceiling rose
plaster model making
plaster animals and real animal footprints
body casting and life casting
belly
casting or pregnancy casting
baby hand casting and baby foot casting
baby foot print casting and baby hand print casting
to
name but only a few from thousands of ideas.
At the quality end of the plaster crafting market, is perhaps the casting of decorative plaster like
cornice making, brackets, statuettes and ceiling roses which sell for £50 to £100 each.
The one on the right was recently being
offered on Ebay for £100 plus postage. The seller was making them
to order, so had no overheads until an order was received. We
know this because his delivery time was up to 21 days !
Do you have the time or space to devote to a plaster casting business?
Well the beauty of casting in plaster is that it takes part in stages. The mix and the pouring of the plaster of paris, which is then left until the next stage. Until finally the fishing or
burnishing (making it look like a metal finish).
All you would need to run a small plaster crafting business is a corner in a spare
room or small shed.
How do you find the time to sell your plaster crafts?
Well apart form the online store where you can actually list the pictures of the items, and cast them to order rather than holding to many finished items you could take them to craft fairs. Every village holds craft fairs and so does every school to raise money at certain times of the
year i.e Christmas Fairs. All of these require only a little time, and have a captive audience.
Working at home in plaster casting and plaster moulding can give you all the things you want in life - the ability to do what you want when you want, as well as the kind of income you desire. Just because the steps required to earn money at home are simple, doesn't mean they're all easy to implement of course. Being self employed also
means being disciplined. But as many people have discovered, the happiness brought by working at home, makes the journey worth it.
