How homemade is homemade?
I make “homemade” greeting cards that I send out for holidays and just regular correspondence. I use cardstock, stamps, papers, and scrapbook appliques. My friends and family have suggested I make a website and sell the cards or even approach a boutique about seeling a few. How homemade is homemade? I do not “make” any of the items I use to construct the cards like the paper, ink, and especially the stickers/scrapbook appliques I use. Often times, a large scrapbook piece – like a 3D christmas tree sticker – will be the main focus on the front of the card. Can I still sell these since the design and construction is my own? Or do the items I use to construct it have to be homemade as well? Thanks, Abby.
Look, if someone goes shopping and picks up some apples, flour, baking soda, sugar, cinnimon and a gelatin mix, then goes home and bakes a pie, it the pie NOT home made because they didn’t grow and grind the flour, process the sugar, manufacture the baking powder or the pie tin or the gelatin?
Is a dress not home made because the dressmaker BOUGHT the fabric?
Have you ever seen restaurant signs advertising “home made” entrees and deserts? In who’s home do you think they were made.
Relax. What you are creating are what is called an “assemblage.” You are CREATTING a new thing out of other, made things. Your creations are just as original, or “home made” as any classic artist’s masterpiece painting, even though that artist probably did NOT “make” his own paints or canvas.
