Mobile Craftsman

Blowin’ in the wind.

Make money working from home by making all kinds of flying objects for backyard gardens such as mobiles, spinners, whirligigs, spirals, and kites.

This entrepreneurial idea encompasses all kinds of beautiful objects and you can even invent your own special object.

You can use all kinds of materials for the mobiles from metal to fabric.  See our Metal Artist page for more ideas. There are stained glass mobiles and wooden ones.  See our page, Glass Specialist, and our page, Woodworker-Carver-Whittler, for more resources and information. Use glow-in-the-dark materials and paints to create even more interest. 

Wind spinners stick in the ground and spin in the wind.  Whirligigs are often designed as birds or animals and they also whirl in the wind. 

Once you get the hang of it, create these for commercial applications and expand your business.  Find some commercial applications below in the resouce section.  You can sell these to friends, neighbors, at craft malls, trade shows, online, and at local consignment stores.
