She might be better off taking a store of Brazilian jewelry & such with her to the dorm and selling it to her neighbors than trying to set up an etsy account. Shipping costs extra, and if you use a PayPal account, they take a cut too. I don't know about etsy, but ebay now takes a percentage of sales as well. As for on-campus jobs, it's probably too late for this year, but desk workers usually can sign up for minimal hours and typically can do homework and study during their shifts. It's only minimum wage, but sometimes that's the perfect job for a busy student.lauracuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444327899786571581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774825876710806862.post-89931540718824376582011-07-08T07:40:05.598-07:002011-07-08T07:40:05.598-07:00Benay, there are a couple of places that I found t...Benay, there are a couple of places that I found that have several crafts that are somewhat inexpensive to make.

I am pretty sure she could find patterns on line but not sure if there is access to the bibs (I got mine to cross stitch at hobby lobby). I will keep thinking and then I will send you some more ideas if I come up with anything else. Have a great day.kimothyhuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571802356876361178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774825876710806862.post-64806937881556211562011-06-29T13:56:38.897-07:002011-06-29T13:56:38.897-07:00Valerie, She would be in the US for college start...Valerie, She would be in the US for college starting in August, so the shipping wouldn't be a problem.Benayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735660115709670670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774825876710806862.post-90057412841480068302011-06-29T12:28:15.375-07:002011-06-29T12:28:15.375-07:001.

I make crayon roll-ups as birthday presents for Jackson's friends (< $1 of supplies, < 30 mins sewing time) and people think it's genius. So armed with an internet full of tutorials, I'm sure there's tons she could sew to sell locally.<br /><br />2. My only hesitation about Etsy is just the cost of shipping to the U.S. My experiences trying to mail stuff back have been so $$$. But maybe you know a cheaper way to ship (and if so, please pass it on!) Even still, lots of stuff that is common and cheap here is "exotic" in the U.S. market so the markup could make it worthwhile.<br /><br />(I don't really have anything to say about #3)Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964086252042568975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774825876710806862.post-89059564275995510532011-06-29T11:37:00.036-07:002011-06-29T11:37:00.036-07:00Of course you know me...
