She also has a full-time job. When she spends entire weekends at craft shows, she has less time to make new merchandise.
That's why selling her hand-made products on Etsy.com, a website dedicated to crafters, was the perfect way for her to turn her crafts into extra cash.
Taylor says, "I work full-time, so it's nice. I can do this when I come home from work."
Crafters who sell their hand-made items on Etsy.com have very little overhead, especially in comparison to opening a store or consigning work through galleries -- which can take commissions of up to 50%.
Adam Brown, of Etsy.com, says, "It's free to create a shop. To list an item, it's $.20, and when you sell an item, Etsy takes a 3.5% commission."
Crafters also get far more exposure than they would through a traditional shop or craft show.
Taylor says she's sold earrings and other items to customers in Australia and Japan.
No matter what you make, if it's hand-made, you can sell it through Etsy. Currently the site hosts a quarter-million different shops from crafters in 160 different countries.
