Unfortunately, on April 28, 2024, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a serious blood and bone marrow cancer.
This diagnosis requires me to undergo chemotherapy and stay in the hospital for the next 6-8 months, possibly longer. As a result, I must close the business temporarily to focus on my health and I am unlikely to be able to respond to any messages or emails.
Consequently, I will no longer be offering courses or starter kits for sale. However, existing customers who have purchased courses within the past 12 months can still access them using the link below, with the email address and password they used during enrollment.
What is the Cheapest Home Business to Start?
Starting a Creative Home Business offers a really affordable way to start a business. However, the start-up costs depend upon the type of products and services that you intend to offer, the type of Materials and equipment you will need to get started and the cost of any Creative Courses or Business Training you will need to attend.
For instance, the start-up costs are completely different if you are considering a Baby Hand and foot Casting Business as opposed to a Fingerprint Jewellery Business or Silver Pet Paw Print Business. This is largely due to the different types of tools, materials and equipment, that you will need to start a Baby Life Casting, Silver Clay Jewelry Business or Pet Keepsake Business.
So, to illustrate the potential costs in a little more detail, I will break down the different Creative Home Business Opportunities here:
Starting a Hand Casting Business
The great thing about starting a Hand Casting Business is that can easily be run from home, with the need for very little space or equipment. This means that not only will the start-up costs be very low, when compared to other Creative Business ideas and opportunities for women, but also it is a profitable business model, with very low overheads.
If you are interested in starting a Hand Casting Business, you will need to take into account the following costs, to get started:
Professional Life Casting Training
As with any Handmade Craft Business, it is important that you are working to the highest possible standards, so the first, most important investment that you should make is in yourself. If you wish to offer products and services of the highest quality, build a good reputation, avoid customer complaints and create a well-respected, profitable Baby Casting Business, it's important that you invest in professional Life Casting Training.
If you are only interested in offering a limited range of products, such as Baby Hand Casts, then you may choose to register, for a traditional 3D Baby Casting Course. However, if you wish to offer a wider range of products and services, including, 2D Prints, Clay Imprints, Couples Castings, Family Life Castings, 3D Baby Resin Castings and Cold Cast Metal Castings, you will need to register for some more advanced Life Casting Courses.
Professional Life Casting Training is vital, if you wish to learn all of the tips and tricks of the trade; including:
As well, as all of the practical Baby Hand and Foot Casting tips you will gain from a reputable, well-established Life Casting Trainer, check that your training, will also include the following essential Business Start Up information and advice:
Life Casting Kit & Life Casting Supplies
Your next cost would be your alginate life casting kit and casting supplies. Again, this depends upon whether you are starting a Hand Casting Business, offering just Baby Hand & Foot Casts, or if you wish to offer a wider range of products and services, such as those included in The Ultimate Life Casting Training Course.
For example, if you wish to start a hand-casting business, offering a limited Baby Casting / Life Casting Service, you would require very few Life Casting Tools & Equipment & Casting Supplies. You won't need a Kiln or any specialist equipment for Baby Life Casting, which makes this an extremely low-cost and affordable business opportunity, with very high earning potential.
To make it as easy as possible for you to start a hand-casting business, we have put together a professional Baby Casting Kit, which contains everything you need to get started, excluding the cost of your Professional Life Casting Training.

Starting a Fingerprint Jewellery Business Opportunity
Similarly to a Hand Casting Business, a Fingerprint Jewellery Business, can be run, very easily from home, with the need for very little space or equipment, making this an excellent Creative Home Business Idea, with low start-up costs and overheads.
If you are interested in learning how to make Fingerprint Keepsake Jewellery and how to make silver handprint jewellery and starting a Fingerprint Jewellery Business, you will need to take into account the following costs:
Professional Silver Clay Jewelry Making Courses
There is much that can go wrong if you don't learn the correct techniques, processes and principles of working with Silver Clay and how to make Fingerprint Jewellery. Therefore, once again, the first, most important cost, will be the investment into your Silver Clay Jewelry Training Courses.
The cost of your Silver Keepsake Jewellery Training will depend upon the range of Jewellery Keepsakes that you wish to offer. Most people who are in the early stages of pursuing a Fingerprint Jewellery Business Opportunity, start with at least a couple of Silver Clay Jewelry Courses so that they can learn how to make Fingerprint Jewellery, silver handprint Jewellery and children's artwork jewellery.
However, you may wish to expand upon your jewellery-making skills further and expand your product range, to include, setting stones in silver clay, enamelling metal clay jewellery and ring making, in which case you will need to register for some more advanced Silver Clay Jewelry Training.
Professional Silver Clay Jewelry Making Training is vital if you wish to learn how to make professional, high-quality Silver Keepake Jewellery, along with learning about:
As well, as all of the practical Jewelry Making knowledge that you will gain from a reputable, well established Silver Clay Instructor, don't forget to check that your training, will also include essential Business Start Up information and advice, such as:
Fingerprint Jewellery Kit & Keepsake Jewellery Supplies
Your next cost would be your Fingerprint Jewellery Kit and silver clay supplies. Which kit you will need, depends upon if you will just be offering Fingerprint Jewellery, or if you wish to extend your range of Keepsake Jewellery, by also offering, Silver Handprint Jewellery, Artwork Jewellery, Enamelled Keepsake Jewellery and Tiffany and Pandora Style Keepake Jewellery.
For example, if you wish to start a Keepsake Jewellery Business, offering just Fingerprint Jewellery, Handprint Jewellery and Artwork Jewellery, you will need the Jewellery Making Tools and Equipment, outlined in this article.
However, to make it as easy as possible for you to start a Keepsake Jewellery business, we have put together a professional Fingerprint Jewellery Kit, Artwork Jewellery Kit and Jewellery Kiln, which contains everything you need to get started. Alternatively, you can buy everything that you will need individually via our Silver Jewellery Craft Shop.
