Work for myself at home?

Hi!
I'm a mum of one toddler, and I claim PIP for an inordinate amount of disabilities which stop me working, even though I'd very much prefer to!
It's obviously not enough to live on, so am looking for a way to supplement that by doing something at home.
I'd love some recommendations for work-from-home jobs I could look into - but also interested in skills/crafts which I could learn myself which I could sell, thus working to my own schedule.
Any work-from-homers/crafters/others able to suggest anything?
Ideas which have been suggested so far include:

Soap making
Ironing
Renting my living room as a studio/workspace for people (would love to make my house pay in some way, but unsure how past renting out my driveway!)
Candle making (sell on etsy/online)
Making jewellery

Happy to teach myself a new skill/craft/etc.
Doesn't need to make millions, just supplemental to help me support my toddler a bit more. Thank you!

I don't have any ideas, but I'm watching this thread as often people on here have quite awesome ideas - saw someone makes jam the other day!

Also 'bump' for you 😊

If you live centrally your ideas of renting the driveway and the living room sounds great! It could be a shared work hub for people working from home.
Not sure how that works though and if you would need insurance etc.
