Handicraft & handmade: gain via "materials online routing × selling creations × payment cashback"

Handicrafts — knitting, embroidery, leathercraft, jewelry-making — are a hobby where materials like fabric, thread, beads, and parts add up, and you can also sell what you make. The trick is to route material/tool online purchases through a point site, bulk-buy consumables routed, sell creations on handmade marketplaces or flea markets, and pay with a rewarding payment. But if you earn income by selling continuously, you may need to file taxes on it as income. This guide organizes handicraft & handmade point-earning by materials routing, selling creations, and payment cashback / tax note. Read it alongside the flea-market app guide and the fashion guide.
