And the creative Super Pals now have a guide to take their at home projects into homes around the world thanks to crafter-turned-entrepreneur Meg Mateo Ilasco's handy guide, Craft Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby Into A Business. 
 

With tips on working a business from the ground up – including focusing in on your product, looking at the real numbers to get going, grassroots marketing strategies and dealing with the ups and downs of launching a product – Super Pals everywhere can benefit from the firsthand experience of Mateo Ilasco and some of the many successful business owners she tapped for added advice, like famed interior and home goods designer Jonathan Adler and In Fiore beauty maven Julie Elliot.

Handbags or handmade pottery, crochet or papier-mâché, Mateo Ilasco offers an insider's how-to on making it big. And Girlawhirl has a few crafty Super Pals who she's sure will want to get their hands on this book.
