Overcoming the Challenge of Unemployment by Acquiring Vocational / IT skills. Day 22 – Craft Making e.g. Shoes, Bags, Baskets, etc.
Craft making is a creative process that involves putting your art together to create objects such as shoes, bags, baskets, etc. It has to do with creating what other people need in other to make their “outlook, appearance or home” more attractive and beautiful.
Craftwork in our contemporary society is in high demand. People pay a lot of money for fancy shoes and bags etc. The demand is increasing on a daily basis. People spend money daily to make sure they get the best as they try to present themself to look attractive and beautiful. Craftwork is also used to beautify homes.
More than 60% of Nigerians make use of locally made shoes and bags, that are made in Nigeria. That tells you that ‘Craft Making’ is one of the best skills you can acquire in contemporary Nigeria. All you need to do is learn how to make them, invest in your craft making, and be creative and you are good for business.
THE BENEFITS OF CRAFT MAKING.
1. You become financially independent
2. People get to tell other people about your creative work.
3. People ask of you and you get referred by others when your craft looks attractive and beautiful on other people or their homes.
4. You get the chance to train other people.
5. You get the chance to serve others and get paid.
6. You get the chance to network your product beyond your community
7. You get the chance to partner with investors.
NOTE: Craft making is a decision I have seen friends make and today most of them are proud they made such a decision, but it requires time, attention, focus, creativity, and honesty. In the business of craft-making, you have to keep to your words by delivering when you promise.
Craft making pays in our contemporary world.
