    Look at this cute little airplant jellyfish that I found on etsy.



    Super cute, right?!
    Well, it's $8.00 + $5.00 S&H [$13.00]. That's just for ONE.

    I really liked them and wanted some, so off to ebay I went and for less than $20 I had the supplies to make 5!
    Here are mine


    Sure, my picture doesn't have fancy looking lighting, and it was taken at night. But, it's the same thing.


    I'm offering a mystery envie raok. Tell me about something craft you did for super cheap, that sells pre-made for a lot.
    I'll more than likely use a random number generator Friday night to pick a winner.

    I melt down crayons into cute little shapes, and take the boxes and make them into paper packs with pieces of white paper :) So the kiddos can take them along when their in the car, or whatever, seen these sell for about 30.00 for the whole set- 12 crayons and the paper pack

    Well, I would buy cheap picture frames and decorate them real cute. I never actually sold any of them, but I'm sure I could get more for them then it cost me to make them. I always gave them as gifts or made them for myself when I would do them.

    Oh let's see...I've made baby shower invites for a couple of friends before made a pretty nice $$ from doing it. I even sold some handmade cards that cost me under $1 to make but sold for like $5-$6.

    I made a camera strap cover for my dSLR camera.

    A quick look at Etsy shows that these sell from $10-$35. I, however, used leftover fabric, bought a huge bag of batting for a few bucks (and only used a teeny tiny bit of it). I can use the batting to make more of these, I already have designed my next strap cover. This time I'll buy prettier fabric and make a few of these as gifts. Super easy!! And only used a few bucks!

    Well, it is not my craft, it is my DH's. He made his own filter system for our salt water aquarium and also made his own frag plugs with cement. I grin and encourage him with his craftiness so I can take some credit for it can't I??? I make my kids birthday cakes every year....last year it was a guitar and a light saber!

    Baby Cakes, not the diaper ones. These are made in a cake container like you would buy a round cake at Walmart. You use a baby blanket to line, use a baby wash cloth or hat or something for the top, and then fill the container with baby items, lotion, clothes, whatever you want. Then you put ribbon or flowers or something around the outside. I saw these at a craft show for $30. I made one for about $5 and sold them for $15.

    When you are done , they look a lot like a real cake.
    Raising children(especially teens) is like being pecked to death by a chicken

    In my defense, I will only bid human beings in the auction forum if it's a MM.
