Built by someone who actually sold handmade.
I’m Lara, a former teacher turned handmade business owner. After building a six-figure handmade brand across Etsy and Shopify, I created Launch Your Handmade to help creative women build businesses that are not just busy, but genuinely profitable.
I didn't start with a profitable handmade business.
I started with a product I loved, putting in hours every day: making, packing, posting, and trying to grow. On the outside, it looked like things were working. Orders were coming in. My shop was active.
But when I actually broke it down, I was earning around £4.80 an hour.
That was the moment everything changed.Lara, Founder of Launch Your Handmade
I kept fixing the wrong thing.
For a long time, I thought the problem was my pricing, my photos, my marketing, or the algorithm. So I tried to fix all of those things. But none of it solved the real issue.
- My pricing
- My photos
- My marketing
- The algorithm
- The product itself had no real margin
- Demand wasn't strong enough to scale
- I had no framework for choosing products
- I was guessing instead of filtering
The problem wasn't how I was selling. It was what I was selling. The product I had chosen simply didn't have the margin, demand, or scalability to support a profitable business. Once I changed that, everything changed.
When I focused on better products, everything followed.
When I shifted to choosing products with strong demand, better pricing potential, realistic production time, and clear positioning, my business started to grow properly.
Most handmade sellers aren't failing because they lack talent.
After years of trial and error, I realised something. Most handmade sellers are failing because they're making decisions without the right framework. They're guessing what to sell, how to price, and whether their idea will actually work. That guesswork costs time, energy, and income.
I created Launch Your Handmade to change that.
I help beginner and early-stage handmade sellers build properly.
- Choose products that can actually become profitable businesses
- Avoid low-margin, time-heavy ideas before investing in them
- Understand what makes a product sellable and scalable
- Build a business that pays you properly, not just keeps you busy
My goal is simple: to help you build a handmade business that makes sense financially, not just creatively.
More sales won't fix the wrong product.
There's a lot of advice out there telling you to follow your passion, just start and see what happens, and focus on making more sales. But passion alone won't guarantee profit. And more sales on the wrong product just means more unpaid hours.
- Follow your passion
- Just start and see
- More sales = more money
- Intentional product selection
- Strategic before you start making
- A business actually worth your time
You're in the right place.
If you're unsure what product to commit to, making sales but not enough money, or worried about choosing the wrong idea, you're exactly who I built this for.
Because the right decision at the beginning changes everything that comes after.
You don't need more guesswork.
You need a method.
Handmade to Launched is the exact path I wish I'd had when I started. Choose, price, list and launch a product that pays you, one step at a time.
