10 Ways to Use Vinyl Scraps for Big Profits

Filed Under: Starting Your Business

Cutting for Business readers are in for a treat today, because Jamie stopped in from Craft Chameleon (formerly Punch Place Plus). I’m turning it over to Jamie:

Hi everyone, Jamie here. Let’s talk vinyl scraps today! I don’t know if it was my grandmothers’ influence, living through The Great Depression, or what but it’s tremendously hard for me to throw away small pieces of unused vinyl. Whether Granny or genetics was the cause, the effect is this list of 10 low cost items from Craft Chameleon to use with those vinyl scraps. Read on to see how you can turn your small scraps into big profits!

Please note the figures below show only ‘Gross Profits’. This means it does not take into account the following items: wear and tear on equipment, labor, shipping, selling expenses, rent, inventory expenses, interest charges, and other expenses your business might incur.

Now let’s make Granny proud and use up our scraps!

Now I have some questions for you: Have you seen anything that you could cut from your small scraps? What would the price point be in your area? What would your gross profit be? Better yet what would your Net Profit be? Did this set your creativity in motion and give you ideas for other scrap busting projects?

Have an answer to any or all of these questions? If so, Craft Chameleon would love to hear you – leave a comment or visit us at Craft Chameleon.
