I have a few friends that pretty much make a living off their crafts and I was thinking of random ideas.
Painting the handles of glass nail files: You can go on ebay and get 100 glass nail files whole sale for about $50 (depending on what length) They have about half an inch handle. My mom got me one from a craft show - the guy painted a lady bug on it. I ebayed how much it would cost for glass nail files (since no offense to the guy - but my mom is a better artist) She wanted a Santa one and other kind for friends so I am going to get them for her to paint and maybe even sell some on etsy.
Anyways, I think this would be a good money making idea for friends. You are pretty much investing .50 per nail file and paint and if you sell them for $10 to $15 making quite the profit. (the guy was selling his for $15.) So think about it. Making ones that have the Senshi symbols - DC symbols like Batman, biozard symbols..lots of possibilities.
Anyways, just wanted to share since I doubt Mom will be making "geek themed ones". I am going to try to get her to make me a Batman ^.^
