Entrepreneurial Ideas: Kneading Dough Figurines

Entrepreneurial process: at the age of 8, he studied plastic skills, and resigned from his work in 1990 to study plastic sculpture. At present, he has made up hundreds of thousands of "dough figurines".

The business idea is: no money, no art, no money, no money, no investment, no money, no investment. The investment cost is mainly to earn money by handicraft, so there is not much investment. If you don't need a store, you can use 1000 yuan to purchase raw materials.

Shop location: business street, near school.

At present, there are not many artisans who are engaged in face plastic. Because of the new products, the market demand is larger, and the "money" is broad.

Celebrity portraits are very common, but have you ever thought of having a facial portrait of yourself?

Recently, Ms. Ding received a special birthday gift.

"My boyfriend passed my photos through the Internet to master dough figurines," he said. "After a few days, I had my own dough figurine, vivid, and I liked it very much."

I think this idea is very suitable for the "entrepreneurial idea" contest.

According to the telephone provided by Ms. Ding, the reporter contacted Yu Qiquan, the dough master, who learned from the interview that the "money" scene in the market is now vast.

Yu Qiquan is a native of Shandong. He loved to knead his face when he was young. When he had no face, he used mud to do exercises.

Later, he began to make himself a mirror in the mirror. At first, he often squeezed, demolished and squeezed himself. After seven or eight years of repetition, his dough was finally alive.

How do you find business opportunities from hobbies?

Yu Qiquan recalls: "in an exhibition, I made small and exquisite dough, especially some of the stars' dough, which became a good handicraft after setting up the base. Many people loved it very much.

One exhibition can sell more than 100, and earn more than I did at that time.

I feel that there are business opportunities, so I simply quit my job and started a face business at home.

Yu Qiquan, who made more than 20 dough figurines at the end of the day, resigned after the resignation.

In order to make his craftsmanship more exquisite, he read a lot of books about folk crafts, aesthetics, clothing and plastic arts.

Customers passed on from mouth to mouth, and his business day after day. At best, he could make more than 20 dough figurines a day.

Generally speaking, the size of the dough is different from that of the size, and the charge is tens to thousands of yuan.

It is understood that the traditional plastic materials are mainly flour and glutinous rice flour, which are easy to crack for a long time.

After years of research, Yu Qiquan has been able to preserve and preserve plastic materials by adding chemical materials.

In 2002, he opened a shop, and many children and young people were keen on making their own plastic figurines. Others bought them as gifts.

At present, it is very successful to start with a plastic face as the idea. He summed up his experience and said: "from the beginning to the present, I have probably pinched hundreds of thousands of faces. I am willing to do things that I am interested in, and today's success is an attestation for my efforts.

I always believe a word "no money without art, no art without money".

Speaking of the "money" scene in the dough market, Yu Qiquan believes that there are few people in the dough shop nowadays, and there are many people who like and want to own a plastic facial mask, so the market development space is very large.

He hopes that more people will study this art and competition will make progress.

In the future, he plans to open a professional plastic store to recruit students and engage in the plastic arts.
