Going Online

Setting up a website to sell your crafts has never been easier. There are plenty of free website builders out there. They're not ideal long-term but can be great for fledgeling entrepreneurs testing the water.

Pop Up Stands 

School fetes, Christmas markets, on the front doorstep, car boot sales – pop up stands are great if you want to sell a small amount of merchandise or just see if there's a market for what you're making. Some big brands started out this way, including Innocent Smoothies (they sold drinks at music festivals to test the market)

In our industry, creativity and ingenuity are to be celebrated. Our mosaic tile shop is designed to help out both hobby and trade buyers looking create beautiful things. So why not make good use of your artistic side and see if your mosaic creations could boost your salary?
