So, the big question comes up: “How, in this big marbled earth, do I take something so common and simple as diy crafts, and turn it into a profession?” Simple wimple, just go back to the definition: conduct, aims, and qualities that characterize.

It is super important that you find the craft that fits you the best. You need to practice and try out different things until you absolutely fall in love with what you are doing. When you love what you do, the energy of that love will spill over into your crafts and other will love it too. Gaining knowledge and insight on your chosen craft is one of the keys to your success. The internet is a major source of information to help you broaden your knowledge on your chosen craft. YouTube is also a great place to learn for free. Focus on your skill every day and read about something every day pertaining to your chosen field of interest. You will obviously need tools and materials to get started so research what tools and materials you will need and plan accordingly.
