Before decree: Broker in the company wholesale petroleum products.

About the case: When my son was three months old, I realized that it was boring for me to be only a mother and a wife, I wanted development, my own realization. But I was horrified by the thought of going to the office on a 5/2 schedule: not to see my children, for the sake of realizing other people's ambitions. It so happened that my mother and my sister flew to Beijing, where they found amazingly beautiful fabrics, silk of different textures and types, amazing quality and at a very attractive price. My mother is an engineer-technologist of garments, all her adult life she created and sewed outfits for us, but she never knew how to realize her talent and potential. My sister and I picked up the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating dresses from natural silk and promoting them on the Internet. The fifth collection has just been released.

About the "victims": I work 3-5 hours a day, more recently I leave for an additional full day once a week. I have to sacrifice time for myself: now I miss reading books, listening to music and watching movies, playing sports and even meeting friends. Now it's either children and family, or my business.

About the difficulties: In reality, everything turned out to be completely different from what it seemed, from production to the launch of a new product on the market. There was a lack of knowledge, experience, budget, connections. Now, with the advent of the second child, the growing up of children and the expansion of the business, there is simply a sorely lack of time.

Advice to doubters: If you are in doubt, it means that you are not ready yet. In your business you need to think a lot and work even more. And there is absolutely no one to shift the responsibility for failures. I would recommend initially doing only what you really like or have experience, skill, knowledge; or there is a partner who is a real professional in his field; or there is access (as well as time and desire) to a large amount of information on the topic. It is also worth choosing a type of activity that, even in the most pessimistic scenarios, will bring you new knowledge, or material things, or acquaintances, and experience, of course. And you will not lose anything except time. These points will help lower the bar of importance, worry less “what if it doesn't work out?”, And focus more on a positive result. My motivation: "When if not now?" Ultimately, I am building an inheritance for my children, rather than going to work for a salary - it helps a lot.

Before decree: marketer in a large company

About the case:The topic of ecology and naturalness is very close to our family, from the very beginning I was puzzled by the choice for the only child at that time, the most toys, ordered individually from masters, brought from abroad ... In general, I was a real fanatic. And gradually the thought came that, probably, I am not alone, and it would greatly help someone if such toys were all in one place. The store is already more than 4 years old, during this time we have grown, and many already know us. I made the website, logos, slogans and came up with it myself, wrote articles for promotion, filled, changed, until the result began to be completely pleasant to me. Therefore, from the point of view of "advanced" in technical terms, they are not the most advanced, but from the point of view of the invested warmth and real emotions, I think they were quite successful. With the birth of our third daughter, we moved out of town, and the idea came to create our own family club for mothers and children.

About the "victims": I have 4 working days per week, of which 4-5 hours are spent on work. At first, it was necessary to sacrifice a night's sleep. But I am a night owl, so I worked even more efficiently. There are also periods when it seems that you do not have time for anything, but this quickly passes.

About the difficulties: Organize everything. It would be convenient and understandable to arrange it exactly so that you like it. The second difficulty - in your business, as they say, you are both a Swiss and a reaper. It's hard for those who leave large companies, where there is a specialist for every question. And, of course, the scale itself can be discouraging at first: there is a lot of work, but the result is not great. But - here patience and faith that people need your business is important.

Advice to doubters: Sample! If all the time your thoughts return to the same thing, you feel that it is yours, you want to start, but are afraid, start more boldly. Better to do and regret than not to do and regret.

Mom of two-year-old Savely. Unsweetened desserts

Before decree: Logistics Manager.

About the case: The environment pushed me to do something. A friend thought of herself small business, I also wanted something interesting and non-trivial. Previously, there were already attempts to deal with sweet cakes and portioned desserts. But there is a lot of competition in this niche. So I came up with my own savory project. And yes, moral satisfaction from what you love is, of course, good, but money is never superfluous. Therefore, after the decree, I still plan to return to my main job.

About the "victims": I am at a loss to answer. If there are orders (and there are almost always orders), then it takes time both to purchase products and to make a cake. I try to do my best when my son is sleeping. Plus - communication with clients also takes a lot of time.

About the difficulties: If the son is not in the mood, then there is no question of any of his affairs. Everything has to be put off for the night. And you want to sleep too. So there is only one problem - lack of time!

Advice to doubters: It is better to regret what has been done than what has not been done. Therefore, if there is a desire to do something, you have to take it and do it, without putting it in a distant box.

Mom of five-year-old Kira and three-year-old Sasha. Newborn photographer

Before decree: sales manager at a consulting agency.

About the case: I gave birth to my second child, not having time to get out of the first decree, it turned out that I spent a total of 5 years at home. It's very difficult long time stay idle. Therefore, when the younger became at least a little independent, I began to look for options for part-time work at home. And after several unsuccessful undertakings, I stopped at photo retouching. A year later, I realized that I wanted to shoot myself, took my husband's old camera, posted an ad on the Internet - and away we go.

About the "victims": Nothing has to be sacrificed, thank God, rather the opposite. I only do photo shoots on weekends, and my husband always assists me. Since I am free on weekdays, I bring up the children myself, I do not take them to the kindergarten, which would be impossible with a 5/2 schedule.

About the difficulties: Any undertaking needs money, I had to borrow it. It's always a risk. But, as they say, he who does not take risks does not drink. My business paid off in a month.

Advice to doubters: Everything is real! If you want to work for yourself, just work! In any case, you can always go back to the office, but I think you will not want to.

Mom of three-year-old Julian and one and a half-year-old Valentine.English club for mothers with children

Before decree: Several types of activities - from accountant to corporate account manager.

About the case: It all started with a love of language and children. Being a native speaker, she instilled it in her eldest from birth. Later I realized that it was simply necessary: \u200b\u200bto instill a second language up to three years for better pronunciation and easy learning at a later age. I attended trainings and read the necessary literature. I decided to create a club for young mothers and teach them how to introduce the language to babies.

About the "victims": At the time of my work in the club, a nanny is engaged with the children, so a couple of hours away from home is not at all scary, especially since the child learns something from the nannies.

About the difficulties: Preparing for class takes time. I do it after I put the children to bed. This is a little difficult, given the fact that the youngest is in his arms all the time, and he cannot rest during the day.

Advice to doubters: If you have an interesting idea and a strong desire, then all the stars will converge, and you will have the opportunity to realize this idea. The main thing is to take a step forward and think only positively! You will immediately break out of the household routine, which will bring you a lot of new emotions.

Stories are stories, but when it comes to my own life, questions arise: where to start, where to go, what can I do? I suggest reading this one. I really liked in it a detailed description of each possible way of earning money for a mother on maternity leave, some of which - through the personal experience of the author. But you will find several non-standard approaches to business on maternity leave, which, although they require some investment, should theoretically pay for themselves. I do not know, I have not tried it. But some of the ideas seem quite sensible and interesting. Moreover, I have met their implementation in my life. I recommend!

Lack of money on maternity leave - is this familiar to you? Our heroines decided to replenish family budgetmaking money not only on sales - and all this with small children. Read on and get inspired!

Marina Medvedeva, Novoshakhtinsk, mother of Yulia (1 year 10 months), organizer of joint purchases of children's and adult clothing

I heard a lot about joint purchases and finally decided to try it: it seems like there is time, and you still don’t invest any of your own funds. To promote myself, I sat on VKontakte at night: I added new friends, wrote posts, arranged promotions and giveaways - in general, I did everything to appear in the social network feed as often as possible.

Late in the evening I sit until one or two in the morning, and when I am with the child, whenever possible I answer people from the phone. My whole day looks like running to the computer, then to the child, then to the stove, because I'm alone at home, without help. When I receive the goods, it is even more fun: I drag a child on my hip to the 4th floor, a stroller on my shoulder and heavy bags.

One of the drawbacks of this kind of work is stupid questions like "How much?" under the photo of the product with the price. It is also hard to distribute the goods: people are comfortable during the day, and the daughter is sleeping just at this time. I haven’t thought about the prospects yet, my husband is generally against me working.

Victoria Khubuluri, Vologda, Sofia's mother (1 year 10 months), sells copies of luxury cosmetics and perfumes, clothes

I got bored at home: diapers, washing, cooking - groundhog day. At first, I was selling cosmetics and perfumes online, and then I thought about how to increase my earnings. I began to sort out the options: what do all people have and what do they need? So I decided to sell children's autumn, winter suits, overalls.

I chose a supplier according to reviews and ordered a jumpsuit first for my child - to check the quality, and then put it up in VKontakte groups and on my page, inviting friends. I went into children's groups and looked who left comments, likes under the photo of outerwear. I invited them as friends or offered to purchase a product at a discount.

Of expenses - service fees transport company and mail. About 6000 rubles per month came out clean. for perfume and about 9000 p. for children's costumes.

The work took all the time: even at 5 in the morning I woke up and looked for clients or a sale from suppliers ... My child is calm, sleeps for 2 hours during the day, and there is someone to look after him during the day. I did not feel guilty before my daughter, because everything earned went to her clothes, food, diapers.

Anna Truntaeva, Orenburg, mother of Semyon (1 year 3 months), organizes joint purchases of clothes and shoes

I work for a short time, only a month and a half, and during this time I earned about 3000 rubles. The idea to engage in sales came to mind when one girl in a group of mothers was selling for 200 rubles. supplier base. I decided: "Okay, I'll try."

Work colleagues started asking where I bought this. So she began to make custom-made jewelry. The growth of the dollar and my love of knitting helped to change the direction of development. Every day I have to solve several problems: the car breaks down, the employee gets sick, or the landlord suddenly decides to raise the price. But this happens in any business, and mine is my favorite business, and this is the most important thing.

Through the difficulties, I learned how to effectively manage my time.

When Sasha was born, my business passed the stage of formation, and in many ways this helped me develop the project without actively interfering in the process. In addition, the acquired management skills help me a lot in life. I try to give any free minute from work to my family, we have “holy” inviolable days - Sunday and Monday, when we try to spend time together, go somewhere, postpone all business and phone calls. On weekdays, until 10-11 o'clock, I'm only a mom. My son wakes up, we do exercises, have breakfast, take a shower, I pack him for a walk. Then he sees me at 5-6 o'clock when I return home. I try to walk with him myself in the evening - it is necessary for both of us to better understand each other, to switch from the "work" and "control" modes to the "home" and "care" modes. I get up very early and before the child wakes up I have time to do all the household chores, as well as answer the mail, order yarn.

The secret is to use every free minute.

A lot can be done on the way - talk, discuss, agree. I always write plans, and be sure to set deadlines for the completion of tasks not only for my employees, but also for myself. In general, of course, children are very disciplined, so do not be afraid to take risks and start your own business - you set an example for your children. It is very important for them that they can look up to their parents.

New success stories

They drew out a lucky ticket - they became mothers and found a job to their liking. These are 3 more stories of young mothers about their search for themselves and changing their profession.

Do you know why it is so important to do your job with love? Not only to have a good result, and people always evaluate the work by the result, but also to enjoy the process itself. Even from what is called the rude word "routine". In order not to be afraid of difficulties, and when they meet on the way, perceive them as an opportunity for something new, and just so that there is a sparkle in the eyes.

1,500 aspiring young businessmen have set a goal of becoming millionaires. Approximately 1250 of them decided to do any work that would give a lot of money, and 250 people decided to do only what they love. The result exceeded all expectations. At the end of this experiment, out of 1,500 people, 101 participants in the experiment became a millionaire. Moreover, 100 of them were representatives of the second group of 250 people, which from the first days were engaged in what they loved with full confidence that it was on this that they would make their capital. And only one person became a millionaire from a group of 1250 people who were engaged in work to which their soul did not lie.

Daria Ivanchenko, 35 years old. Children: Katya, 15 years old, Tonya, 8 years old and Fedor, 2 years old.

Before the decree, she worked as a speech therapist. Now he is an entrepreneur, head of the Pchelka children's club.

For me, my main job is what allowed me to combine the acquired knowledge at the Medical Academy and my desire to travel. It was in the Department of Clinical Research that I got a good experience as a professional, was able to visit a huge number of cities in our country, and met many interesting people. And I just enjoyed the understanding that with your work, you really help people.

As far back as I can remember, I have always loved to arrange themed parties, unusual birthdays. And after organizing my own wedding, it seemed to me "burst".

After a while, acquaintances asked to hold their wedding, then another, and so the orders went. It turned out that before the decree, I already had a certain customer base. When the baby was 4 months old, I again plunged into the wedding world. Thanks to the support and help of my husband, parents and sister, I got through. I remember how parents brought the baby to the restaurant and I fed her during the dance break. It was very important for me to keep breastfeeding. It is also very valuable that my work is mainly on weekends, so I spend most of my time with my child.

Soon, my hobby began to generate income that exceeded the salary in my main job. Of course, now it's not just a hobby, it's my life's work.

With the advent of Arisha, I began to develop the direction of children's holidays. From the level - 1 holiday in 2 months, went to the level of 2-3 holidays per week. I ordered new costumes, introduced into the show program soap bubbles, chemical show. All new props are tested by my daughter, with her I come up with new games. In the future, I want to open my own studio for children's parties in the house that we are now actively building in Domodedovo, and continue to engage in weddings and outdoor ceremonies.

It will be necessary to start again practically from scratch, but this does not scare me, but only sets me up for new achievements.

I want to advise all future mothers,to prepare the start for your favorite business before the decree. You have at least 6 months to sit down and think about what you can do and what you would like to do. Decree is a great time to get training. After all, the main thing for a child is happy mom... And when a mother has a beloved baby, family and favorite business - she is really happy!

It happens that the mother does not have maternity leave at all. She refuses this vacation deliberately and not to the detriment of her health and the health of the baby. Ask how? Just about the story of another of our heroines.

Oksana, 31 years old. Children: son Andrey, 6 years old and daughter Arina, 1 year old.

Works in a large consulting company.

I was lucky, I quickly decided on future profession and this choice met expectations! There is no uniformity in what I do: standard procedures are combined with a creative approach in the implementation of the tasks. There was always a lot of work and very often an irregular schedule - all this could have a negative impact on his personal life. But with my example, I can refute this idea.

From the start, it's important to learn how to plan and prioritize properly, both at work and at home.

So, being pregnant for the first time, I continued my professional activity until the 8th month, and then I went on study leave to prepare for the qualification exams. I read textbooks and solved problems, listening to beautiful music in between or walking in the park near my home. When Andryusha was born, I went on parental leave and spent 8 months at home.

I completely devoted myself to taking care of the child, as I, like many young mothers, wanted to give my baby all the best and do everything "as it should be."

However, time passed and I began to understand that I lacked my professional tasks, to the solution of which I was already so accustomed. Everyday questions occupied all my time at home, but I wanted an intellectual warm-up, communication with people. Therefore, as soon as I realized that everything was fine-tuned at home and my baby could spend the day quite calmly with his grandmother, I went to work.

Expecting the appearance of my daughter, I did not go on maternity leave at all, as it became possible to work remotely. The first experience of motherhood helped me quickly navigate and adapt to a comfortable environment for myself the second time. For the first three months after giving birth, I worked from home. Then she came to the office 2-3 times a week to hold meetings. Starting from 5 months, I went out 2-3 days a week, the rest of the days I worked from home. And from 7 months - full work week in the office. I was tired, since it was physically difficult to follow such a dynamic schedule, but morally I felt complete satisfaction and comfort.

I am sure that there are different points of view, and someone will say that it is so wrong, but my work and home are very harmoniously combined. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that the mother helps with the children, plus we have found ways to reduce the time spent at home in order to spend more time together.

We do not have a nanny, but we have a housekeeper. Children have a schedule - what they do at home, where they go for fun, what they learn and where.

While I work, they are also busy, just in their own way. But in the evenings and on weekends, we enjoy a joint pastime: we share our impressions of the day, play, do home exercises, if asked, read, bathe the children and put them to bed. We take care of each other, we have friendly and trusting relationships with children.

For myself, I deduced a rule that it is very important to understand and know yourself as a person in order to be able to balance between home and work, family and friends, hobbies and professional activities. It is important to find harmony in order to do everything and be happy with your family.

These stories are just a small example of the transformation of a woman on maternity leave. But all these stories have the same leitmotif - learn to listen and hear yourself to be happy.The marketer decided to become a pastry chef, got carried away with beading or computer design, or maybe she remembered languages \u200b\u200band started translating, or helps in family business, turned from a journalist to a clerk or a novice accountant? Please, it is important that you like it! There is not enough knowledge, you can take free courses for moms. Most importantly, don't be afraid to start. After all, the one who does what he loves is a priori stronger than those who have been doing this business for a long time, but without much love for him.

In this material:

Business on maternity leave is a great opportunity for women not only to earn extra money, but also to find themselves in a new field, form their own idea of \u200b\u200bearning money, and maybe completely get carried away with something new for the rest of their lives. In fact, almost any business idea can be brought to life from the comfort of your home. The same can be attributed to the position of young mothers, who have to stay within four walls for a whole day and raise a baby.

What you need to do to open your own business in maternity leave? First of all, a woman should be guided by the education she received before pregnancy. IN modern world information and technology in almost all specialties you can work remotely. If in this area you cannot find the right "loophole" for creating a home business, or you simply don’t want to, then it is very easy to find a suitable and interesting idea. The 5 directions for business ideas presented below will help you determine the area for your own business. This is not just a job, but really creating your own business.

Home production

Mothers on maternity leave often begin to create and craft something for their baby, and sometimes just out of boredom. For those who like to knit, sew, invent and implement various crafts, no better option for business than home production of unique items.

Most promising business ideas in such a business are:

tailoring of things: unique design, alteration and repair of clothes;
making toys from fabric, wood, plastic;
knitting clothes that meet fashion trends;
unique hand-made leather, fabric, iron, unusual materials;
soap making;
scrapbooking - creating paper designer crafts: photo albums, postcards, notebooks, notepads.

If a young mother is drawn to one of these handicraft arts, then this is the idea that should be chosen for starting a business. However, it should be borne in mind that any type of home production will require a small investment in materials and PR-promotion.

Initial investments - from 2-5 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is the uniqueness of the product.

This direction can be used by mothers on maternity leave who have experience of buying goods on foreign sites or good connections with suppliers of any products. Moreover, this option is suitable for those who are engaged in home production, as a further development of their business. What you can do:

create your own online store to sell goods from another country or from the author of any unique products;
engage in wholesale purchases and sales of goods from suppliers from other countries, that is, their friends who live elsewhere.

These are the most promising areas that moms can use to create their own business. Well suited for those who are directly familiar with online commerce, since here you will have to deal with marketing, programming and logistics at the same time. But if there is a great interest in this, then the work will go easily and quickly.

Initial investments - from 10 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is high quality products.

"Artistic" business

Photographers, illustrators and designers can easily create own business as part of the realization of their own talent.

Here we are not talking about working in these professions, here we are talking about starting a business based on your abilities. Business ideas that will help develop in entrepreneurship:

making paintings on the wall;
hD photo for wallpaper and blinds;
wall stickers;
drawing comics, illustrated books, as well as photo books;
painting on pieces of furniture;
provision of design services.

All these products and services are quite relevant today and enjoy a certain popularity among the population. Some ideas involve making things at home, but this is not necessary. It is enough to find a person who will supply the necessary material, for example, furniture for painting or, after processing photos, print sheets for blinds. Thus, the business will be built on partnerships.

Initial investments - from 20 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is a professional art style.

For those who do not like or do not know how to tinker and create something, but know a lot about certain aspects of life, professions, specialties, provision of services, coaching is well suited. In other words, you can choose training if there is a lot of useful information about something.

Online coaching is about educating someone about something. Mothers on maternity leave can teach and share experiences about the professions they worked in before pregnancy, or how to become successful in life. Here, women are not limited by anything, they can choose up to the topic of breastfeeding, if they have a lot of secrets in store:

webinars - conducting online consultations from home to thousands and millions of listeners;
tutoring - if there is an opportunity to go home to your "students";
trainings - the same option as with tutoring, but designed for a large audience.

To start conducting webinars, mothers must participate in them themselves, watch the video. This will allow you to understand the essence of the procedure itself, see the different reactions of the listeners and, possibly, determine for yourself some "chips" for the future. After that, you should pay attention to the audience, that is, start selecting it. To do this, it is enough to engage in the promotion of a thematic page on social networks, after which, on the received customer base, conduct personal or general consultations.

The main key to success is the topic of coaching, which is of interest to many.

Writing

For those mothers who love to write, translate, invent plots and do everything related to "text" activities, it is easy to find their own vein for the future business. There are no limits to finding unique ideas for entrepreneurship. Here are just some business ideas:

provision of proofreading services to publishers, computer game developers, writers, etc .;
keeping your blog dedicated to your favorite topic;
creating an online magazine is almost similar to a blog, but here you will have to cover not one topic, but many, and find a team for permanent work over the project;
writing books is also a kind of business;
develop scenarios for games, holidays, events and sell them.

There are over 30 different professions for writers, and half of them can be used to create a unique business idea. Before starting your own business, you need to develop a syllable, make it unique and easy to read - this always attracts many readers. To promote and open a "writing" business, you will need, at least, to create your own business card site.

Initial investments - from 2 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is a light style and uniqueness of the topic.

This is just a part of the directions in which young mothers can go to create their own business.

To decide on an idea, first of all, you should start from your own knowledge and capabilities.

For further work, it is better to involve your relatives, acquaintances and friends, since creating a new business on your own is very laborious processnot always suitable for women on maternity leave.

Then the idea of \u200b\u200btransforming your favorite hobby into income comes. It's random money first, the way to get additional income... But with a systematic approach, a favorite hobby for a mother on maternity leave turns into the main income.

Idea number 1: Children's educational games

The child needs a developing environment. Useful way take small hands - a pillow, beads on a string, plastic bottle with groats, an apron with multi-colored pockets. Craftswomen make educational aids at home - first for their beloved children, then for sale. Making them is not difficult, and the material will not ruin the family budget. Fabrics, beads, buttons - purchased in thematic sets or separately (cheaper in bulk).

# 2: Stuffed Toys

Some mothers are engaged in sewing soft toys on maternity leave. Some people like to make pillows of complex shapes, others like to fill homemade ones. fairytale heroes fragrant mixtures of medicinal herbs (this will calm the child, help him fall asleep). Still others are fond of sewing finger characters for the puppet theater (a very popular segment of the market, practically not mastered).

Several mothers learned about the idea of \u200b\u200bcombining soft toys with educational techniques and got to work. Instead of cotton wool and shreds, the fabric shell is filled with cones, chestnuts, nuts, light balls of different sizes. Bright homemade toy pleases the baby and develops fine motor skills.

It is interesting! Wendy Cao, the mother of a little boy from Vancouver, came up with an original way to make money. She began to sew toys according to the drawings of her beloved son, trying to make her product look like a character invented by a child. This idea was appreciated by several mothers - now there is a studio in Canada that is engaged in sewing children's toys according to children's sketches - Child's Own Studio.

No. 3: Knitted clothes for babies

It would seem that the market is filled with baby products. But finding a soft vest, natural down socks or a dress crocheted from cotton threads at an affordable price is not easy. Here's another way to transform your favorite hobby into money. Fashionable sets for children (beret + scarf; elegant dress + shawl), fishnet tights, vests are always in demand among grandmothers and mothers. You can find patterns in magazines, and ideas can be spied on designers at children's fashion shows.

It is important! Colored knitted laptop cases are in trend. Thousands of women are unhappy with the standard black leather cases and are ready to purchase openwork handbags for $ 25-30.

# 4: Gifts, holiday cards

Not all mothers know how to sew and knit, but there are those who are fond of a different kind of hobby - scrapbooking, decoupage, quilling. The emergence of new art materials, ready-made paper products for creativity, quick-drying acrylic paints - inspired women on maternity leave to create original interior items, boxes, postcards, notebooks, family albums.

Craftsmen of quilling and scrapbooking work under the order. It is a laborious activity, but the work done with soul attracts new clientele. When the style of the master and the artistic handwriting begin to be recognized, the hobby passes into the category of earnings. It is important to present handmade products in an attractive aspect and festive decoration - the joy of buying will increase customer loyalty.

# 5: Eco-friendly Soap and Laundry Detergent

Mom's priorities change on maternity leave. In matters of nutrition, the family switches to environmentally friendly products, and the woman also thinks about how to reduce the presence of harmful "chemicals" in washing accessories. Natural soap that does not contain harmful substances can become a profitable way of earning money. Making it at home is easy, and the price is homemade soap with peach or olive oil 2-3 times higher than the cost of ingredients.

It is important to remember! The buyer will be more interested in your work if you offer an additional bonus. Handmade soap looks good in its original packaging. If you buy a batch of holiday bags and colored ribbons, the client does not have to look for a wrapper for a bar of soap - he will be grateful for taking care of it, the time saved and will make another order.

# 6: Beading

Beads are an inexpensive material, and products made from it are elegant, festive, and distinctive. They are in demand for affordable prices and creativity. Flowers, trees and animals made of beads are popular, it is also customary to decorate bags, clothes, cases with them.

Important advice! Experienced craftswomen do not recommend selling beaded products through souvenir shops (the large mark-up scares away buyers). Look for a sales market through friends and acquaintances.

20 bags of beads - 250 rub. (cheaper to buy in bulk);
wire - 10 p.
varnish, glue, paints - 100 rubles.
gypsum - 10 p.

It is interesting! On maternity leave, my mother earns 12-15 thousand rubles a month on jewelry made of beads.

# 7: Original bags

According to experts, the women's handbag market ranks second in Russia in terms of sales. A lady may have one coat, but several bags. A woman buys a handbag specifically for a festive event, for a certain outfit or because it is unusual, different from the assortment in the nearest market. At the same time, not every mother on maternity leave can afford to pay for an exclusive from Dior or Gucci, but to come up with an idea for a handbag and bring it to life is within the power of anyone who knows how to hold a needle and thread in their hands.

It is important to know! There is no need to buy specially suede or natural leather for sewing the product, because every house has old jeans, scraps of leather, buttons - this way they solve the issue of purchasing materials for work.

Mom on maternity leave will need paper and pencil, as well as imagination. Sewing a product is not a problem - the question is how to do it in an original way. The shape of the handbag can be standard, but the needlewoman will decorate the canvas with embroidery. Or create a stylized accessory in the fashion of yesteryear. The idea of \u200b\u200bsewing special aprons with large pockets for the house also brings money, they store household stuff (it is convenient to keep it in the kitchen and in the nursery). Knitted clutches are also a popular way to turn a hobby into an income.

What business to do in a small town

Recently, it is customary for mothers to unite. This is done in order to save money on delivery when ordering clothes for beloved children. There are fewer examples of joint business, but this is a promising direction! Such "boring" commerce as handicrafts develops more fun in a circle of like-minded people.

Real life example! Two friends organized an atelier in France, where you can rent a sewing machine and a cutting table for several hours. The room has a corner for tea drinking and communication; master classes and useful courses for craftswomen are regularly held. The idea turned out to be in demand even in spoiled Paris. Within 2 months the atelier brought the first income to its owners.

In Russia, there has long been a practice to unite in artels. This way of working gave advantages over the capabilities of single craftsmen. A joint venture reduces costs (for example, materials are ordered in bulk at favorable prices) and distributes powers (each is entrusted with the work that is best done). Business is not one-off orders, but a factory. The more orders an enterprise can fulfill, the more new ideas it offers to the market, the more rosy its future.
