Gather your materials according to the type of lure you plan to make. A saltwater lure is made differently than an ice fishing lure, which is different from a fishing spoon, and so forth. Here we'll focus on a simple wooden lure. Usually the supplies for both a wooden freshwater and saltwater lure will be similar: wood (cedar is most common, but harder wood is used for saltwater lures when going after big fish), a lathe to shape it and screw eyes to attach the fishing hooks.
Shape the plug of the lure in the lathe. Surface plugs work well with both casting and surf fishing, and the shape doesn't have to be very fancy---a simple long bullet shape will do, about 7/8-inch wide and between 4 and 7 inches long. The plug needs to be long enough to attach at least two hooks2, three hooks for larger plugs.
Attach the screw eyes to the plug. They should be at least one inch apart from each other, running down the length of one side. One screw eye needs to be attached at the nose of the plug so you can attach it to your rod; attach fishing hooks to the other eyes.
Paint the lure as you see fit. Most often the lures are painted to look like small fish, but this isn't necessary.
Selling the Lure
Contact fishing and bait stores near you to see if they work with any local suppliers. Sometimes a store will buy a number of lures from individual suppliers and resell them outright, or---more commonly---allow the lure crafter to sell products by consignment, where your inventory is given a specific period to be sold before you reclaim them to sell elsewhere.
Open a website selling your lures. This step is optional, but highly recommended as it will open your business to a wider customer base than you would have selling in local shops alone. Research the various Web hosts available, and find one that offers a reasonable price on a site with no advertisements. GoDaddy.com is a popular choice for startup businesses, offering packages in various price ranges---all of which are ad-free. If you're not technologically inclined, find a site that has premade templates and only requires you to input information rather than HTML or Java coding. Freeservers.com offers simple websites with templates and themes already built into their system, requiring little effort to set up.
Create business cards once you've found a store that will allow you to sell your creations. This step is also optional, but your customers will appreciate putting a name to the product and may be more inclined to buy from you again in the future.

How to Host a Successful PartyIn Feburary 2016 29,

Pick a theme for your party. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate but it should be the reason friends are gathering to celebrate. A loved one's homecoming, an engagement announcement, or a block party to meet the neighbors are only a few examples of party themes; decide upon yours and plan the rest of the party around the theme.
Send out the invitations. Optimally, guests should receive their invitations 2 weeks before the party. This gives them time to schedule the event into their time frame, arrange for babysitters or make travel arrangements. If a guest will be traveling a long ways, the earlier they get the invitation, the better.
Create the proper atmosphere. Parties should be fun. If you're hosting the party at home, look at your surroundings with a critical eye. Put knickknacks away for a clean look and add a banner or decorations to make the room more festive. Provide adequate seating for your guests.
Schedule the party events. Allow enough time for guest arrival before serving a meal or showing a film. If your party centers around a televised sports event, plan for guests to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event starts. Allow time for latecomers if you're planning a sit-down meal.
Plan your food list and shop a few days ahead of time. Dishes that can be prepared in advance and frozen will save you much-needed time on the day of the party. If you're hiring a caterer, she will need lots of advance notice of your menu and the number of guests you are expecting. Popular caterers are often booked months in advance.
Double-check the details the night before the party by doing a quick walkthrough, starting at your front door, as if you were a guest, and proceeding through your home. Make sure there is an area for guest's coats, extra soap and clean hand towels in the bathroom. Count your serving plates and glasses to make sure there are enough.
Dress early for the party to prevent last minute dashing. Some guests may arrive early and you'll need to be ready. Preparation is the key to a successful party.
Greet all your guests in person, if possible, and welcome them to your home. Follow your schedule, excusing yourself to tend to party needs and relax. Even in the best-planned events, something inevitably goes awry. Smile and focus on having fun.
