Many girls are engaged in embroidery - both ordinary embroidery and beading. Everyone knows how much labor and time a craftswoman puts into one job, so it is not surprising that hand-embroidered paintings cost a lot of money. Nevertheless, a craftswoman can not always sell her work for real money. What to do in order to receive a full material return for your creative work?
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to get paid for your embroidery, make sure to present it correctly to potential buyers. When uploading photos of your work to the Internet, remember that the photo is the face of your embroidery, and it is the quality of the photo that determines whether customers like the product.
Step 2
It is best to use the services of a professional photographer, since embroidery, especially if it is made of beads, is difficult to photograph beautifully with an ordinary camera.
Step 3
Indicate a real price that corresponds to the cost of the work, and at the same time is affordable for others. Don't make the prices too high - at first it can scare people away.
Step 4
When calculating the cost of embroidery, add together the price of the canvas, thread or beads, the scheme, and of course, your time. Calculate how many hours you spent on embroidery and convert each hour into monetary value.
Step 5
Do not forget to describe the work correctly and in detail. A detailed description of the features and characteristics of the work should be exhaustive - so that the buyer, without asking unnecessary questions, could understand whether he needs this purchase. Always indicate the size of the embroidery in the frame and without it, as well as your contact information.
Step 6
Submit your work on a variety of handicraft portals, online stores, sites where craftsmen put up their products for sale.
Step 7
Post ads on blogs and bulletin boards selling unique embroidered paintings, try shopping for unusual gifts online. This will bring you fame and help you find buyers.
