All kinds of handicrafts I liked in those years

As a middle-aged woman who is keen on playing with various handicrafts, I have tried to make many handicrafts in the past two or three years. Let me show you some handmade works that I think are quite interesting, and recommend them according to my ranking. The first 10 is made by myself, and the last three are ready to study and practice.

Most of the pictures were taken by myself, and a few pictures intercepted by the network have been marked with their sources.

1, manual package

At the beginning, I bought a relatively simple material package on Taobao, and the tutorial drawings and simple cutting will help you get it. I can quickly make a small coin purse by hand sewing. Later, I thought it was quite interesting to make this gold bag, so I bought some cloth, a small sewing machine and some necessary tools myself, and made some gold bags in batches according to the bag type of the material bag.

This model is relatively small, and you can make almost 10 pieces if you make it quickly in one day. Large pieces of fabric are stiff and difficult to sew. You can make up to 5 or 6 pieces a day.

The cost of this kind of oral gold bag is not very high, but it is time-consuming and laborious and not suitable for sale. Later, because some foreign friends were interested, I spent a week or two doing it in batches, and the profit was good, but the cost of sending it abroad by express delivery was very high, and I felt very tired. I didn't touch the handmade bag for some time.

Later, during the Spring Festival, I happened to see some beautiful fabrics in the fabric shop I had been paying attention to before, so I bought tools, templates and cotton and started making small bags again.

Later, I came into contact with some craftsmen in Weibo, and I will also learn their own tutorials from their craft groups, like this one. At this time, you need a professional sewing machine, and sometimes you need big pieces such as air holes, magnetic buckles and hammers. In fact, just like baking photo pits, some people will have their own sewing tables, and into the pit will feel like spending money like water. (The picture comes from the big one that Weibo pays attention to)

2, crochet

This is the true love I have found since I made handmade products. As a lazy person who was tired of knitting scarves in college, crochet was very resistant. Later, it was interesting to see my mother-in-law hook a lot of coasters and slippers with crochet. Especially after the baby was born, I personally knitted him some small shoes and hats and fell into this pit. This discovery is actually very simple. As long as you master the basic knitting method of crochet, you can knit many very lovely products. From coasters to bags, clothes, hats, socks, shoes and even carpets. And skilled, you can hook it out completely with your eyes closed. Whenever you find those lovely pictures and beautiful wool on the Internet, you will feel a sense of accomplishment. (The picture is from Xiaohongshu, because I haven't been in the crochet pit for a long time, so I won't list my crochet products because they are not very nice. )

3. Handmade jewelry

At first, I wanted to send some small ornaments I made to my girlfriends, so I bought some lovely ornaments and made some.

Later, I found that there are actually many high-end handmade ornaments on Taobao. If I want to make them myself, I will start to buy or customize some better ornaments. Then match it into a set according to your own style. However, although jewelry seems difficult to match, the cost is quite high. Usually, if it is a pendant, the cheaper one will be twenty or thirty. If it's more expensive, if I see some orphans, I'll sell them for more than 100. Yes, the jewelry made is really much higher.

I had an earring necklace that matched this before. A friend of mine bought it and only charged her 50 yuan, but in fact, it's not just the cost of buying matching earrings and necklaces, but the cost of my matching packaging box is nearly twenty or thirty. However, similar handmade jewelry on Taobao sells at most about 100, so I stopped selling it for my own use later, otherwise it would give people the impression that I was making a high profit, but I was really losing money, which was very annoying.

4. Handmade hair accessories

This should be some DIY that many girls can easily do when studying. At first, I bought some simple material bags, and then I made some simple hair accessories just for fun.

Later, I felt that the effect was not bad, so I bought better materials and put them in my circle of friends, and found that some colleagues would buy them.

5, beaded bracelet

In fact, this was quite popular in the early years, and it looks good if it is well matched. I collected a whole box of beautiful beads and made some according to my favorite collocation. Some people will imitate Pandora's style. But I feel that there is still a gap between what I do and what they sell in the store, because if I do it myself, the fishbone line is not well grasped, and sometimes it will be loose and easy to break. The quality sold in the store will be better.

6, heat shrinkable earrings

I found this when I was making handmade ornaments. In fact, there is no technical level, and it is very easy to do. All you have to do is have a hot air gun, then print some cute patterns of heat shrinkable sheets online, and buy a few drops of glue and earrings. Then I found that there are still sales on Taobao, and the transaction volume is very huge. I feel that this is really a big profit space. (Image source Taobao)

7.DIY house

In order to cooperate with my brother, there are many of them online, but I am really not very patient with them and feel very troublesome. I have to cut it, use glue and build wires. Similarly, there are diy landscapes and diy boxes.

8. Glue DIY

This is purely done with my sister in primary school. It's like colorful little stars or something. There are many kinds. You can make a small pendant or something to satisfy the girl's heart, or you can make a diy mobile phone case.

9. Wool blanket

This is really the most impatient thing for me to do manual work until now. At first, I saw that others made it cute, but later I bought it on impulse and wanted to play. Later, I found that I couldn't understand the essence at all, and my hand was too sour to make a shape, so I gave up directly. There are still many vacant rooms at home now.

10, handmade doll

In fact, this thing is similar to the manual rattle for newborns sold online, and it is mainly hand-sewn. But since I came into contact with crochet, I am not particularly patient with sewing, because I find it time-consuming and laborious to sew with crochet. I used to be quite resistant to cross-stitch, and I may not like this kind of thing from now on. (Image source Taobao search)

Next, I would like to introduce some handicrafts that I am interested in.

1, ultra-light clay

This is really cute, is there wood? And look at its operation, in fact, I find it quite simple, and I can do a lot, such as small ornaments, photo frames, and so on, to squeeze out what I want. I found that there are actually quite a lot of material packages on the Internet. Once you get started, you can do a lot according to your own ideas. I just put this in my shopping cart now and haven't tried to do it yet. I feel quite cute and simple, thinking about trying to do it myself after giving birth to a baby.

2. Garbage log

This is a video that I happened to see recently. The exquisite handmade books made by these girls who are keen on handmade books come from the creativity of diaries spliced from waste materials in Europe and America. Seeing this account of Harry Potter and Alice made by up really hit my girlish heart. So I want to learn to do it for a while, but I heard that it is also a huge pit. I suddenly found that every interest costs a lot of money and time, so I think we should solve the fabrics and inventory in the inventory first. (Source: 咢咢咢咢 gray rabbit sauce)

3, hand-painted nail plate

Many girls can do manicure, and I bought a set of materials in college. At that time, it was quite simple, and I couldn't apply nail polish patches myself. But now there are many hand-painted nail pieces, which are really cute. (Image source Xiaohongshu)

Moreover, I found this kind of nail rack and the necessary material group, and I can put the nails on it to practice, satisfy my own design and give full play to my inspiration. (Image source Taobao)

Having said that, I actually find that I really like to try all kinds of handicrafts. At first, I bought colored lead watercolors and so on to practice some painting. Later, I bought my own graphic tablet, including iPad air, to practice painting. I like handwork and painting very much, which require imagination and hands-on ability. Let me show you some of my paintings.

Of course, it's just the beginning, but I will continue to stick to it and hope that everyone will give me encouragement. If there is a new manual recommended, I will continue to update it for you. Have a refill.
