MetroHive connects people across the UK with flexible handmade work at home — assembly, packing, beading and card making. No experience, no commute, your own hours.
All done from home, all hands-on, all open to people with no prior experience. Pay is £100–350 per day depending on the batch and the hours you take on. New openings are added regularly and places fill fast.
Flexible handmade work for people who want something they can pick up and put down around the rest of the week.
£100–350 per dayOngoing handmade work for people who would rather have steady weekly hours and a routine they can plan around.
£100–350 per dayWe aim to give every applicant a transparent, convenient and positive experience. We carry a handful of handmade openings at a time and take each one down the moment it fills — that's why the list is short, and why you hear back from us in days rather than never.
Even when we can't place you, you'll hear back from a person rather than silence.
You tell us the hours you have free and we match the handmade work to them, not the reverse.
Assembly, packing, beading, card making — you can move between them as new batches come in.
Name, town and the hours you can cover.
