      Join an online community that focuses on the sale of DIY items, such as etsy.com. Sign up and list information such as a business name and email address. You will then be able to list items for sale and communicate with other sellers. These platforms are important, as many wholesale retailers look to them to find new items to stock their shops.

      Visit local craft and wholesale shops. Bring samples of your work and business cards so that you can discuss doing business with the vendor. Stores are often eager to take on new local clients if they feel that the work suits the aesthetic of their clientele.
