Home Based Assembly jobs are about working at home as an assembler making simple products for craft companies. The products are mostly simple craft items. You are required to have basic crafting skills ( at least that’s what you are told) in order to assemble the given products at home.

Why its called product assembly at home and not craft making is anybody’s guess. The assumption maybe that you are more or less putting things together rather than making them from the scratch. Also that the raw materials are provided to you by the home assembly company ( at a cost, of course) so all that remains for you is to follow the instructions given to you and put it all together.

There are also certain product that you can assemble at home that do not exactly come under the category of crafts. For example, there is a radio transmitter and a electronic switch board assembly job available as well.

For these reason or other someone coined the phrase At Home Product Assembly or Product Assembling at Home and it has stuck.

Product assembling jobs come in three main categories divided according to the kind of work that needs to be done to make the product :

Sewing  (Requires sewing skills)

Woodworking ( Requires basic woodworking and painting skills)

Basic Assembling (Only involves cutting and gluing)

The sewing category can be further divided into hand and machines sewing craft products.
Of these three the basic assembling category is perhaps the more popular as it requires no the skill other than being able to wield a pair of scissors and the use of glue gun. Apart from a handful of product assembling companies, they all claim that making their craft is the simple project and almost anyone can do it.  There are certain products like the bookmark which people generally feed that anyone with out any special crafting skill would be able to manage.

But experience has proved to the contrary.  No matter how easy the product sounds they are all relatively hard to make and require time effort and concentration.
There are certain reputable and respected product assembling companies that do actually tell you which of their craft items are the tougher ones and which are the more suited for a beginner to start with.
Getting the feedback from people who have tried product assembling with simple craft items has revealed that even cutting and gluing together certain pieces of crafts has proved to be a challenge.
Sewing products are also are very popular category.

A lot of the womenfolk are inherently fond of and capable of sewing skills like cross stitching, embroidery and appliqué. The products that needs to be assembled in the category of sewing products are mostly of the nature of table mats, greeting cards, stuffed toys, T-shirts and capes, CD cases, eyeglass cases and more like these. The sewing products can further be divided into hand sewing and machines sewing items. There are basic to advanced sewing skills required. There are some products that you can make by simply knowing how to stitch by hand while others may require advanced sewing skills like embroidery and cross stitch.

The woodworking products are also supposedly not too difficult.  You will require to own tools like a saw, screwdriver, nuts and bolts,  hammer and an assortment of paints.
It is a category mostly targeted at the men folk. You have products like game boards, back supports, wooden toys, switchboards and such. While the products are claimed to be simple they do require a little bit of grit when it comes to sawing and hammering.

However, if you go to the websites of any of the craft businesses that hire home assemblers to work from home, you will not find the phrase ‘product assembly’ mentioned even once.
