Starting a Crafting Business As A First Grader

Me at my FIRST farmers market with my cousins. I was 6 years old

Hi! My name is Lucy, I am a crafty, Disney loving eleven year old. I have had this crafty mind since I was very little. I started this business when I was just 6 years old! When I was in first grade, I was being home schooled by my mom. Everyday, her and I would come up with some sort of craft that we would do. I somehow came up with the idea of flip flops with interchangeable images so that they could be personalized.

We loved the idea so much that we decided to start selling at our local farmer’s market. Did you know that kids get a discount? My first farmer’s market I made $400, But, dad made me put most of that into savings…BOO! I did several markets that first year and then expanded to an Etsy page and from there Facebook and local craft fairs.

Since then, I started a Facebook business page and have earned thousands of dollars selling my crafts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE sharing this special time with my wonderful mother Tracy! We have bonded so much with this experience and I am so happy that I get to share it with her!

I love sharing my crafts with the world, and getting to do what I love most. I am excited to share my craft projects with you and teach you how to have a successful crafting business, no matter your age! Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter! I hope that you will enjoy my crafts and be who you are! Have a magical day!
