If you love crafting, why not make some money from your passion? With online sites such as Etsy, anyone can start selling their craft items from the comfort of their own home. Craft fairs are another great way to find a steady stream of craft-loving buyers. Here are some top crafts for selling on.
Wedding invites and occasion cards
Most people love the look of a quality homemade card or invite, but don’t have the time or skill to do it themselves. That’s what makes wedding invites and occasion cards such a great craft for selling on. Wedding invites can be particularly lucrative because people buy a large quantity at a time. Homemade birthday and Christmas cards also sell really well at craft fairs.
Personalised products
People love personalised products, so once you’ve found something you can confidently make, whether it’s a whittled teaspoon or a pottery vase, then offering personalisation is an excellent additional service. There’s literally no end to the amount of things you can personalise.
Clothes and accessories
Fashion items such as clothes and accessories are also big craft sellers, both online and in person. People love to know they’re wearing something totally original. Bags, hats, dresses, and knitwear are amongst the most in-demand crafted fashion items, so if sewing or knitting is your passion, you could be onto a money spinner. Use super chunky yarn to make cosy items like blankets and scarves that sell brilliantly at Christmas craft fairs. You can visit The Wool Couture Company to find a wide choice of gorgeous chunky yarns.
Upcycling
This is a great craft idea for selling on because every item is sustainable and has a backstory. Some upcycling projects do require a little DIY know-how. But you don’t need specialist DIY skills for many basic up-cycling ideas, like making trinket dishes from oyster shells.
Selling your crafted items is a wonderful way to share your talents with the world and make a little bit of extra money on the side. Look out for local craft fairs and consider crafting something you’ve never tried before.
