Making toy bouquets is a business for women who love needlework and want to make money from it. The advantages of such earnings are the durability of the goods (unlike bouquets of fresh flowers), small initial investments, as well as the opportunity to show your imagination and talent in an interesting business. However, in order for everything to work out, you need to carefully consider all the details of this women's business.
Where to start?
There are two options in developing a toy business:
- Buying ready-made bouquets at wholesale price and selling them at retail price. This option is suitable for girls who want to open a flower storeor toys or gifts.
- Making bouquets of toys with their own hands and their further sale.
We will dwell in more detail on the second option, as the first one implies opening the small businesses. The main requirement for earnings related to creativity will always remain originality and a high level of performance. That is why before starting a business on the manufacture of bouquets from toys, it is necessary to master this business perfectly.
The easiest thing to do is to study master classes on the internet. Fortunately, the selection of online video tutorials is very diverse and you can watch them absolutely free. To make sure of it, we offer you some interesting instructions for making plush bouquets:
If free master classes on making compositions with toys seem too primitive to you, you can always enroll in special courses or purchase educational literature. Keep in mind that the competition among such a home-based business is quite high, so your work should be really high-quality and exclusive.

Purchasing materials
Specialists advise buying consumables only at wholesale bases from verified customers. Purchasing the necessary elements in an ordinary store, you run the risk of simply working at a loss. In order to organize a business on the manufacture of bouquets of plush animals, it is necessary to have in stock:
- small plush toys - teddy bears, kittens, bunnies, etc.;
- materials for wrapping different colors - corrugated paper, cellophane, bouquet net, fabric, organza;
- embellishments - beads, rhinestones, bows, sequins, colorful ribbons, etc.;
- flower wire (floral wire);
- long sticks or tubes (e.g., from balloons);
- Styrofoam or foam;
- adhesive tape;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- a set of thread and needles;
- stapler.
The amount of materials to be purchased depends on the available financial resources for the business and professional experience. If you are completely new to this business, we recommend buying small batches of products and increasing the volumes in accordance with the growth of sales.
Finding customers and profits
There are several ways to find buyers to sell them toy compositions. The most popular, in recent times, remains the Internet. You can create your own website, a group in social networks, register on specialized forums and services with message boards. All these methods are quite effective. The main thing - do not give up after the first failure and persistently offer your work, engage in advertising and do not abandon the case at the halfway point. Earn popularity is not easy, but later it will "work" for you.
In addition, you should not forget about the classic forms of selling the product. Among them: cooperation with flower stores, advertising in the print media and, of course, the favorite "word of mouth".
Bouquets of toys - a home-based business that can become very profitable. You will have to spend from 10,000 roubles a month on materials. The cost of one bouquet of medium size - 100-150 rubles. The same bouquet you can sell for about 1 000 rubles, while the price of large compositions comes to 5 000 rubles. Selling at least 50 medium-sized bouquets per month, you can earn about 40 000 rubles net profit. Agree, quite good for this kind of activity. Remember that nothing is impossible! The main thing is aspiration, belief in yourself and your dream!
