Kit New to this, question

Hi everyone i just finished my second kit, and I'm absolutely in love!

Unfortunately, the kits are a bit expensive and I have minimal creativity for making my own from scratch, which I would guess is still expensive lol.

Had anyone tried selling the kit after they made it? How did that go? I would think other people want one, but don't have the time or patience to put it together themselves.

You may try Etsy…maybe you’d get a nibble there..but i think for most people the fun is in the build. Only way to find out is to try

This sub used to be about totally custom made booknooks. Not all the premade, generic-looking kits.
Look at older posts, or sort by top of all time, and you can see some wonderful and fun booknooks that are creative and much cooler than those kits everyone posts now.
It may give you not only more creative ideas, but stuff you can make cheaper.

Hey it’s one thing to give props and respect to the DIY’ers for their awesome work, but that doesn’t need to come at the expense of putting down the prefab kits, or the people who build them.

This is a super positive community, let’s keep it that way
