Starting an Arts & Crafts Business

[angelzero]

Ever since I started planning for my wedding DIYs, natuwa ako tumingin sa mga online arts and crafts stores like Bee Happy, Hobby Depot, Hey Kessy etc. Gusto ko rin sana magtayo ng sarili kong online store kasi may mga ibang items pa rin na hard to find. I want to sell hard to find stuff as well as bestsellers. Hopefully I could branch out into making customized party souvenirs and other DIYs since nalibang talaga ako sa paggawa ng sarili kong wedding DIYs.

Any experience or tips on how to get started? My main concern is sourcing. I want to know where to find the good stuff, things you won't find in Divisoria. Kailangan bang mag sourcing sa China or HK?

TIA!

I'm interested in this also... locally ba saan nakakabili ng mga wholesale materials?

interested din ako sa ganitong business sis, pero mostly mga materials nila from US and Japan galing like washi tape and craft puncher.

I thought of starting a business like this but knowing myself, baka itago ko na lang lahat yung ibebenta for myself.
