What an awesome vlog!! I am deciding whether or not to start my own business as I am now an empty nester after being an at home mom for 24 years (after a very successful career in sales). I had my own small business years ago when my kids were young! Your tips are awesome! I am leaning toward doing something with sewing & possibly something with cricut. Your acrylics are beautiful!! As I was going thru your video, I kept saying check as I have almost everything it would take to start a new biz!

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! Thank you for watching! You should totally go for it! My business has been such a blessing to me personally and financially! And it's something I mostly only do in my spare time (when I'm not caring for my daughter). Etsy is a great place to sell but having your own website is great too! Especially since you already have so many things to start! You can do it, I promise!

@CassieCouncil
@CassieCouncil Жыл бұрын
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! I use Polycrylic clear gloss to seal the acrylic paint! I will typically paint a thicker layer of paint to prevent brush streaks and use a foam brush! I have a few videos of me showing how I paint and seal acrylics if you'd like to see it more in depth! ❤️

Cassie I need your help!! I started making my samples of the name announcement 5x7 signs and the sponge brush made it so streaky, so I went to a regular paint brush and it left lines! Then I had to do 3 coats and the back just looks sooooo tacky! Plus the 3 coats made it thicke and lifting where I had it taped off. 😢

I would recommend using a thicker paint and a foam brush (if you're not already). Folkart and Valspar brands is all I use! I hope this helps! ❤️

Great video. How do you determine price for each item? TIA
@CassieCouncil
@CassieCouncil Ай бұрын
Thank you! A rule of thumb is that you want to add up the cost of all of the materials you used to make the item, then factor in how much time it will take you to make it (which would be your hourly rate). I do that and then I also look around on Etsy to see what others are charging to be sure my rate is competitive! I hope this helps! ❤️

I was impressed by your account, I bought acrylic disks on Amazon, when the package arrived and I opened it, it turned out that the plastic was very thinnnn and had such a terrible chemical smell. I so upset, now I will return and order another brand. I don't know, take a chance and order from another supplier. Or buy using your recommendation link, but it's scary to take 100 pieces at once for $80.

I've had that happen as well with an order I placed on amazon! Some companies have acrylic pieces are great quality and some are not! Here is a link for a company on amazon in a smaller quantity / less cost that I have before! I hope this helps! ❤️ amzn.to/3KhykAR

I do charge a little extra for that item if I am adding in the paint pens! I get them at Michaels! I always use the 20% off coupon so they're discounted! You can find them on Amazon, but they aren't always the best quality (sometimes dried out) according to the reviews. I have never bought from amazon but just wanted to mention to you in case you do!
