| Top 50 Simple Things to Make and Sell From Home |
A home crafts or homemake business isn't for everyone, but it's a nice way to generate some extra income and, at the same time, receive accolades for your beautiful creations.
If you want to start selling your items, you'll also have some administrative business tasks to deal with. It's best to plan from the beginning how you'll accomplish these tasks, such as bookkeeping, generating customer receipts, finding suppliers, and filing business taxes.
If making money from your creativity sounds fun, exciting, and full of potential, below are 50 ideas on crafts you can make and sell, plus tips on how and where you can sell your hand-crafted goods.

How to Sell Your Items
Once your items are created, it's time to get them ready to sell. Here are some tips for turning your items into income:
Price your items for profit. While you don’t want to overprice your goods, you want to be careful that you cover not only the cost of materials but your time as well.
Brand your items. Find a way to include your name, business name, website, or other contact information on each of your items. This can be a sticker or home-printed information on business card paper. If your customers want more, they’ll be able to get in touch with you.
Consider targeting a specific type of customer. For example, many authors seek out unique swag items that have pictures of their books on them, such as earrings, charm bracelets, and more. Sheepdog owners want to buy totes, tees, keychains, and other items with a sheepdog picture on them. Customizing your goods can take more time, but you can also charge more.
Tie into the time of year. While many of your items can be good at any time of year, you can boost sales by offering seasonal items such as Christmas décor or gift items, or Fourth of July decorations. Or consider making special occasion items such as wedding favors or birthday decorations.

Top 50 Simple Things to Make and Sell From Home
1. Bath bombs

A bath bomb is one of the easiest DIY projects amateur crafters can make and sell. You just need a little bit of knowledge about different ingredients and some basic kitchenware plus, the know-how on how to use them to create your own unique signature blend.
The best part about making and selling bath bombs is that they can be made in bulk, startup costs are extremely low, and they can be customized in different shapes, colors, scents and decorations (pretty much anything you want).
Bath bombs can be made for as little as just a few cents (0.25-0.40 each) and be sold for between $3-$10 each, depending on the products you used to make them.
2. Magnets
Magnets are cheap to make, costing as little as $0.03-$0.06 per unit.
But that doesn't mean you should stick to traditional magnets for your business.
How about creating a magnetized version of old photographs? Can notepads be attached in easy-to-spot locations to help keep people on track with their daily tasks?
What you make is up to you, and with magnets' versatile nature, your ideas can hold on for the long haul.
3. Soaps
A simple Google search returns pages of tutorials for bath and beauty stuff to make and sell including soaps, bath bombs, and other beauty products. They range from simple recipes for bath salts to more complicated formulations requiring emulsions and preservatives. This business idea has low creativity requirements—soaps and bath bombs can be made using commercial molds—but packaging and branding are important in beauty, so consider hiring design help.
Keep your inventory tight—fresher bath bombs have more fizz, and natural ingredients (like essential oils) in soap can expire.
Investigate your raw ingredient sources to ensure they’re beauty grade and safe for skin. Shopify merchant Salem Essentials recommends understanding the basics of chemistry.
Check with your local government to ensure that your production facility (even if it’s your own kitchen) meets health standards. In the US, for example, the FDA sets guidelines for ventilation, air control, and surfaces.
4. Posters

In an era of increasing work-at-home jobs, it is even more important to keep our home spaces comforting and aesthetically pleasing.
Posters are a quick and easy way to give a space that unique feel and a quick and easy way to start a business!
Using online tools like Canva and Piktochart, turning your art into other people's happy places is a cinch.
Whether you want to upload your images and have them printed for you or splash out on the equipment yourself, posters and other wall art are a surefire way to get your vision out into the world and brighten people's lives.
5. Jewelry
Jewelry is another business idea that can range from simple and low-tech (say, beaded necklaces and woven bracelets) to skilled trades with special equipment (such as silversmithing). It’s a saturated market, so doing your homework up front is important—how can your designs stand out? Is there a niche market to sell to? How can you ensure your jewelry brand has unique items to make and sell?
Fashion is fickle. Validate your idea by tracking trends in jewelry—use Google Trends, and follow popular fashion blogs and influencers.
Consider adding apps like Jewelfie to help your customers with fit.
Photography is extremely important but also difficult because of the scale and reflective qualities of jewelry. Invest in great photos by hiring a pro. You can save money by partnering with complementary apparel brands to share the cost of lifestyle shoots.
These are great items to make and sell for budding young entrepreneurs. Basic jewelry like beaded necklaces are among the many things kids can make and sell.
6. Ceramics
It may seem like a big task, but pottery is not quite as hard as you’d think.
No matter where you live, you can guarantee a college or civic center near you does pottery classes. It doesn’t take long to go from complete novice to clay crafter, either.
It can take a little investment in some basic equipment and materials, like clay and paints, to decorate before you can start working from home. However, most public classes will give you time and space in a shared kiln to start you off.
In an era where we appreciate hand-crafted products of passion, people love to buy unique creations. Your pots, sculptures, and ornaments could soon decorate the homes of hundreds around you.
7. Planters
 |

As with pottery and posters, plants are a big deal when it comes to decorating spaces.
Long gone are the days when a simple wooden box would do for a planter, and planters nowadays are made from anything you can think of.
With a little ingenuity, you can create a chic planter using pretty much anything you can find.
You can add your flair of decorations to existing planters you can buy cheaply from hardware stores, add words or signs to help buyers sort their plants. Or you can make your own from scratch.
Try thinking outside the box – line some old boots with water-resistant materials. Recycle old storage boxes. Transform old books, bottles, or jars.
8. Curated gift and subscription boxes
A gift or subscription box business is a great idea for those who are less crafty but are still interested in making items to sell. If you have an eye for curation, assorted boxes could be perfect for you. Contrary to print-on-demand t-shirts, curated box businesses can be very hands on. Assembly can be a tedious task, but the business has its advantages: subscription boxes are usually packed all at once at the same time each month and in the same size box, making the shipping process simple.
Calculate your storage and assembly needs. Can your home accommodate your business, or do you need to rent additional space?
Ease your customers into commitment. Offer a substantial discount to those who pay up front for subscriptions, or offer the first month free.
Use a subscription management app like Recurring Orders and Subscriptions to keep everything organized.
9. Tote Bags
Not only are custom tote bags easy to make, with a plethora of blank bags available for reasonable prices, just waiting for your design to be stamped on, but considering even one can save hundreds of plastic bags from entering our environment, you’ll be selling a product that your customers can feel good about using.
19-year-old Maisie Crompton borrowed $30 from her grandmother at the start of COVID lockdowns to launch a tote bag business called TOTESFORYOUU. Using TikTok and YouTube to spread awareness of her brand, Maisie has already grown TOTESFORYOUU into a business earning $15,000 a day!
10. Candles
Candles are quick things to make and sell—and they present an excellent business opportunity. The candle business in the US is a $2.3-billion industry, and within that there are several niches to explore: religious, birthday, eco and natural, scented, beeswax, novelty, and more. Like with soap, there’s no shortage of DIY tutorials for novice candle makers, and a basic melt and pour methods require little to no previous craft skills. That's why it's one of the easiest crafts to make and sell.
Get insured and use safety labeling. Due to the nature of candle use, and the increased risks of injury or fire damage, be sure to protect your business from civil suits that may result from the use of your product.
Tap into a niche to stand out in a crowded market. Frostbeard Studio appeals to book lovers with cleverly named candle scents and copy filled with literary references.
Pay attention to branding and packaging. Candles don’t differ much from an ingredient perspective, but your product can stand apart with beautiful packaging and strong branding.
11. Sewn Items
 |

If sewing is your thing, selling your projects online can be the perfect way to mix creativity with revenue. Think not only clothing, but curtains, tablecloths, aprons, dolls, and more. Right now, the most popular sewn accessory might be baby bows and ribbons (yes, it’s as cute as you’d think it would be).
Some sewn items can take a long time to complete, but bring a hefty price tag to the creator, while others are more simple, but can still be lucrative. Whatever your style, now is the time to turn that hobby into cash.
12. Paper Goods
One advantage to creating paper goods is that in some cases you can sell them digitally. You can create a personalized planner, checklists, or stickers, and they can be delivered as a digital file that the customer can print on their end (they can buy sticker paper at the office store.)
13. Stickers
Stickers are always big in demand, no matter what the occasion is. You can make a lot of money by learning how to make stickers. They are actually one of the top-selling items on Etsy.
Stickers are used to decorate laptops, water bottles, journals, product labeling, and packaging. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even make custom-shaped stickers and sell them on Etsy or open your own sticker shop.
Mim sells stickers from home on Etsy and is one of the top sellers. You can check out her free class to learn more about selling stickers from home.
What are handmade items?Humans for thousands of years have tried to put machines, technology, and technical lines into work to optimize the production labor process. As a result, mass-produced items have become familiar even boring in our lives. Also for that reason, handmade items seem to be becoming more new and attractive. From cards, decorations, to cosmetics, perfumes, furniture, etc., we can all find silhouettes of handmade items. So, what is a handmade item?
Most of us understand that, handmade goods are items that are made by hand, not by machines. However, if you simply decorate or edit an existing product by hand, it is not possible to turn that item into a handmade item. An item is called a true handmade item when it is the result of meticulous labor from the hands, or a skillful combination of different raw materials. Today's handmade learners have become artisans. Each work is almost unique, bearing their own personal impression with their own way of making handmade items. The level of craftsmanship, meticulous care and quality of raw materials are the most important factors for a handmade product. |
14. Sweets
Candy, cookies, baked goods, chocolates, and jams. Sugar can be spun and dissolved and baked into endless things to make and sell. This is a category with unique complications—legalities, labeling, and shelf life—but also with lots of room to get creative. Niche markets include: holidays and occasions, customs, novelty, catering, pet treats, and gift baskets. Be sure to investigate the viability of selling your product online when considering food business ideas. Are fragility and refrigeration barriers to shipping?
Trace the supply chain. Carefully select your raw ingredient suppliers to ensure that what’s on your label is what’s inside.
Consult with a lawyer or food inspection agency to be sure that your labeling meets local requirements for nutritional content, ingredients, and allergy warnings.
Rotate your inventory and stress the importance of doing so to everyone who handles it.
15. Pillows

People love pillows and cushions. No wonder, swapping out pillows is a great, low-cost way to give a room a makeover. In fact, seasonal pillows are a thing, and there are lots of people who swap out their throw pillows to match the time of year.
So, when thinking about what to sell online, take a look into this one. Not only is it super simple to sew a pillow, but there’s also an endless variety of fabrics and patterns to choose from, making it easy to develop your own specialty throw pillows in no time.
16. Decorative Dishes, Cups, and Glasses
Are you handy with a paintbrush? Painted dishes, cups and glasses, especially wine glasses, are very popular. Or perhaps you can etch on a beer stein or mason jar. Instead of paint or etching, you can use decoupage to decorate kitchen items. Decorative dishes, mugs, and glasses make great gifts, which makes them a great item to create.
17. Art and prints
Forget the story of the starving artist. It’s never been a better time to pursue art and related cool stuff to make and sell (without selling out). Whether you’re dealing in fine art, reproduction prints, or just want to sell photos online, you can access far-reaching audiences and sell worldwide.
Work with an established gallery like Shopify-powered Spoke Art to show your work in person and help build an audience for your online store.
Have your work professionally photographed or, as a low-cost option, scan it on a flatbed scanner in pieces and stitch the image together in Photoshop.
Consider reproducing your art in multiple formats, from easy things to make to sell like prints, cards, t-shirts, and mugs. Do it yourself through a print and fulfillment company, or license your work to other eCommerce brands.
18. Digital Printable Products
The digitization of goods shows no signs of stopping. digital products like font licenses, wedding invitation templates, webinars, or Photoshop actions are great things to make and sell from home—or anywhere you can use a computer. It requires a little up-front work but is relatively hands-off once you get started. The overhead costs are very low, can generate passive income, and some typical pain points that come with physical goods (inventory, shipping) are non-existent.
The best thing about selling digital printables is that you don’t need fancy equipment or expensive software.
And profit margins can be high as this is a recurring source of income with zero to very low overhead costs involved.
You can start by making simple ETSY printables like cards, wall arts, planners and then work up in time with more complex projects such as calendars, planners, coloring pages or recipe booklets.
19. Natural Cosmetics

There is a growing trend in consumers to purchase products with natural ingredients, especially cosmetics.
Products made without harmful chemicals and synthetic additives often sell at higher prices because they drive more trust from the consumer.
This has created an opportunity for people who would like to make their handcrafted organic cosmetic products at home.
With a little bit of research and some time, you can make your organic cosmetic product that is made with natural ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter. And because these products are handmade, they have the potential to command higher prices than typical store-bought cosmetics.
Some of the popular homemade things to sell to start a business include DIY body scrubs, natural soaps, body butter, and lip balms.
20. Homemade Meal Service
If you like cooking, then homemade food is one of the best items you can sell from home.
This is where a home-cooked meal or food service comes in handy! Meal service food is not only healthy but cheaper than eating out.
The best thing about selling homemade food and snacks at home is that you don’t need to invest in expensive utensils or lots of ingredients upfront. And you can scale as your customer base grows.
The process can be as simple as this:
• You set a weekly menu and post the next day’s menu (including prices, quantity, and payment method) on your group daily.
• Set a deadline for the last food order and the number of food packs you will be cooking.
• Batch cook, pack, and deliver (or offer pickup).
From home-cooked daily meals to special sweets and snacks, there are lots of food items you can make and sell for profit from your kitchen.
21. Cupcake & Cake Decorating
Fancy yourself a whizz in the kitchen? Sweeter edible items such as cookies and mini cakes are always a crowd-pleaser.
There are so many people who prefer to eat homemade items as these often contain fewer preservatives than factory-produced products.
Tap into the niche markets; holidays, celebrations, novelty, catering, and gift baskets and you’ve got yourself a targeted product.
One word of caution – this is one item that comes with some unique complications – shelf life, legalities, labeling, etc.
Make sure to investigate the viability of selling your food item online, especially if it uses fresh ingredients that need refrigeration.
Better yet, use your baking skills to teach other amateur bakers how to create delicious goods right from their very own kitchen.
Host a course on an online teaching platform such as Teachable and offer gift cards during peak gifting seasons such as Christmas.
22. Music
If you enjoy creating music, you can record your songs and list them on streaming platforms such as Airbit, BeatStars, or SoundCloud. People can purchase your music, and every time they do, you’ll make money!
In fact, you don’t even have to sell entire songs. Many musicians are now selling their raw beats in digital marketplaces to great success.
Check out the mind-blowing story of Robin Wesley. In 2017, he had one of his beats purchased by a little-known Vietnamese songwriter for about $100. A few months later, the finished song, with Wesley’s beat as its foundation, would rocket to #1 on the Vietnamese music charts, getting over 200 million YouTube views. And, Wesley was able to negotiate publishing royalties for the song.
23. Woodwork Items

Woodwork, whilst a more intensive form of craft, still holds strong in a buyer’s market. Items such as coasters, woodworking kits for children, and even small wooden Christmas trees often float to the top of the best-selling list on Etsy.
As woodworking is a time-intensive skill, naturally, customers expect to pay more for unique gifts not found on the high street.
24. Courses
The e-learning industry is expected to be worth $325 billion by 2025.
E-learning courses could teach cooking, sewing, technology, music, personal development, photography, marketing, or just about anything else you can think of. The more in-depth your course is, the more you will be able to charge.
What’s especially nice about selling online courses, for those of us without a lot of extra income laying around, is that the only upfront investment is your time.
Need inspiration? Joseph Michael taught himself how to use the writing software Scrivener while living paycheck-to-paycheck. Having gained this knowledge, and desperate for an extra $400 or $500 per month, he created a course to teach others how to use the software. It made $25,000 in an afternoon.
25. Mini Succulent Planters
Succulents are another item many people are incorporating into their homes and offices because they’re low maintenance, look great, and are a simple way to add live décor to the mix.
This is why these planters in a variety of colors, are great things to make and sell.
26. Clocks
Having clocks is about time management, but they are also being bought to match the home decor. The monthly search volume on Google is 44,000 and on Amazon is 26,768. To start, you need to learn how to make them:
An overscale vintage-looking clock might be a good idea. If you like it – you can use Elvgen girls as well or you can use any of your favorite images printed out on LaserJet printer.
You will need:
a circular wooden board or cardboard ( I used canvas on cardboard sold in the art shops)
clock mechanism ( I found one in the clock repair shop)
acrylic paints – I used only black and white
decoupage glue
acrylic varnish
numbers printed out on LaserJet printer
Instructions:
Make a hole in the middle of the board (find out the required size by checking the clock mechanism).
Paint the board with acrylic paints – I made a neutral greyish background.
Cut out the image and place it on the desired area on the board. Cover it with decoupage glue. You need to do it little by little making sure that there is no air left underneath it.
Cut out the numbers and allocate them on the board using ruler and angle meter.
Cover the numbers with decoupage glue. I covered the whole surface with the decoupage glue in order for it to look more even.
Let the surface dry completely. Cover it then with acrylic varnish – it will create a glossy look and also protect your creation from dust and moisture.
Insert the clock mechanism and put in the battery. Set the time!
27. Pallet Wood Planter

Unless you’ve been out of the loop for years now, you probably know pallets have become a big thing. It’s because they look rustic (which is the trend), and they’re inexpensive.
If you can locate pallets and build this planter, you may have a great décor item to sell. It’d be perfect on a mantle, to use outdoors, or as a centerpiece for a coffee table.
28. Friendship Bracelets
Friendship bracelets are some of the most popular home crafts to sell online. All they require are embroidery threads and a few simple tools like scissors and tape.
Friendship bracelets are crafts that make money without much of an investment. Explore different kinds of patterns and start creating unique designs to find your niche audience.
29. Enamel pins
Enamel pins remain incredibly popular things to make and sell and are still on a strong upward trend. You’ll usually work with a manufacturer to make enamel pins, but the design component can be as involved as you make it. Design your own, or work with a designer to illustrate your vision.
If you choose to design your own pins, use Photoshop, Illustrator, or free alternatives like Pixlr and GIMP. Stick to solid colors (no gradients) and avoid fine details.
Whether you manufacture overseas or locally, be sure to ask the right questions of your manufacturer: What are your clasp and material options? Can you send me physical samples? What packaging options do you offer?
30. Stationery Pouches
Here’s another product you can make and sell if you’re into sewing. Stationary pouches are easy things to make, even if you only have basic sewing skills.
Your target audience will be students and office workers, so make sure to adjust the designs accordingly. Once you master the production process, it’ll be easy to expand your product catalog and start selling purses and bags too.
31. Seashell Mirror

Bathroom mirrors are functional items that people will always buy. The monthly search volume is 25,380.
Bathroom mirrors are of different types and one that you can make to sell is the seashell mirror. The monthly search volume on Google is 600 and Amazon clocks in at a mere 154.
32. Perfume
Perfume is a popular product for both men and women. It’s easy to make a DIY perfume at home with natural ingredients, like various flowers and essential oils.
Besides experimenting with different scents, make sure to source high-quality containers to improve your products’ selling value.
33. Cufflinks
Wearing cufflinks have always been a fashion thing for men because of the limited number of jewelry we can wear in a formal setting; women are also catching on this piece. 44K people on Google are searching for how to wear them. 10K people are searching on Amazon looking to buy them.
34. Cloth Napkins
This craft idea is ideal for creative people who are into sewing. However, beginners may easily find tutorials on the web to help them get started, as the required techniques are easy to learn. Try to explore various fabric patterns to come up with unique designs.
35. Buddha Bracelet
Buddha bracelets are now used for more than what they were originally made for – prayer. They have become fashion jewelry for men (and some women) that sell. I love them – they are simple and look good.
For every product idea, search volume is important before you go on to make it. For this product, it is 1,600 on Google. It’s clear that it’s being bought – the Amazon search volume is 1,015.
36. Locket Necklaces
 |

Locket necklaces come with a pendant that holds a picture, a written note, or a small item inside. It’s possible to make one with things you can find at home improvement retailers or craft stores, such as washers and mini hoops.
Allow the customers to customize their order by adding a special picture to their locket necklace.
37. Bookmarks
Bookmarks are thin items that we use to mark the pages of our books in order to return to them with ease.
Not all books come with them so people are searching for them, the Google search volume is 101,000 and Amazon is 20,961. This is a market you should look into.
38. Notebook
Paper notebook is a product that most people will use at some point. A specific search for handmade notebooks is just 70 on Google and 68 on Amazon, but since it’s one product that people need, you have a large market in notebook sales.
On Amazon, notebook itself has 149,035 searches monthly, but that could include the laptop.
39. Pet Accessories
Remember how I said Americans spent $44.1 billion in 2021 on pet food and treats? In addition to that, they spent almost $70 billion on everything else for their pets – toys, supplies, fashion, care, and other services.
People are always looking for unique ways to treat their furry friends, and they spend big money doing it. This is where you come in. You can make clothes and collars, portraits and personalized items, toys and travel bags, and so much more.
40. Traditional handcrafted goods
Leather tooling, wood carving, furniture making, and embroidery are all traditional mediums with thriving markets and qualify as great stuff to make and sell. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ideas for unique items to make and sell. The backlash against mass production is driving trends back to slow food, one-of-a-kind and bespoke goods, and artist craftsmanship. Many of these disciplines require skills honed over time, but you can access your inner maker and learn these skills via online tutorials, local workshops, and trial and error.
Much of the appeal of crafted goods is the story behind the maker. Weave your own story into product pages, a compelling About page, and even packaging.
How will you scale? If your idea takes off, consider how you will maintain the handmade nature of your goods while producing in large quantities: Can you hire contract makers? Can certain components of the process be outsourced to a manufacturer then finished by hand?
41. Holiday Ornaments & Tags
If you’re looking for a seasonal side hustle, this could be the perfect craft for you to make and sell. Holiday spending goes off the charts, with the average American planning to spend $116 just in decorations alone.
Personalized ornaments really do the trick – you’ll see them quickly rise to bestseller status on Amazon and Etsy. Don’t forget about other traditions too – Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc.
42. Lip balm
 |

Like bath bombs and soaps, lip balm is one of the easiest products to make and sell with the tools you already have in your home. Simple formulations using beeswax and natural oils require little more than a heat source to assemble. You don’t need fancy equipment, but you should ensure that your setup still meets the standards of the industry and follows local regulations for home production. When you’re ready to scale, lip balms are a gateway to more complicated cosmetic items to make and sell.
Invest in ingredients—research suppliers and the source of your ingredients to be sure you’re using those that have been rated for cosmetic use.
Understand the labeling laws of any country or region where you plan to sell your products. In some countries, the word “organic” is regulated, and you cannot use it unless you have acquired the proper certification.
43. Dog Treats
Pet owners require ways to get healthier pet food. Plus, some dogs have special diets that need homemade treats to adhere to dietary restrictions.
For these reasons, homemade dog treats are a great product to make and sell. Starting a luxury dog treat bakery that sells high-quality products can be lucrative.
44. Pottery and clay objects
One of the more cool ideas to make and sell on our list, pottery requires skill and equipment. If you’re new to the craft, check out local college and community programs to give you the know-how and shared studio space to use the kiln and tools (versus investing in your own at the start). There are, however, other materials that have a lower barrier to entry and can be used to make traditionally potted items, like planters and ornaments. Try air clay, polymer clay, or poured concrete.
Things to make with clay or clay alternatives include planters, sculptures, ornaments, jewelry, magnets, containers, and coasters.
Have a future entrepreneur in your family? Some clay alternatives are quite safe and offer many possibilities for things kids can make and sell.
45. Keychains
The keychain has never gone out of fashion, and likely won’t for the foreseeable future. Now used as fashion and style pieces, people use them as a way to express their identity. Animal lovers, travellers, hikers, bikers, you’ll find a keychain suited to each.
Cater to both men and women to keep your market broad. Add the option to personalize to persuade customers to add your item to their basket. Keychains can sell for around $5-$20 each.
46. Pictures Frames
These days, the frame is as important as the picture. No, seriously – people often spend more on framing than they do on the art.
Craft exceptional frames, and you’ll have clients knocking down your doors for the perfect accent to their much-loved artwork and portraits.
Pro tip: Master the art of picture framing, and offer customers both the frame and the framing. This will increase your earnings even more!
47. Gift Basket

Let’s face it, gift baskets will never die. That doesn’t mean that we have to make do with the standard sausage and cheese offerings though. Today, custom gift baskets can contain pretty much anything – there are even gift baskets for pets! – so don’t skip this option when thinking about things you can sell online.
48. Sell Photos
Own a camera?
If you’re a photographer, stock photography websites and photo apps are the perfect places to sell your work and earn passive money.
You can upload images for sale on sites like Getty Images or Shutterstock that will pay you when someone downloads them from their website. You’ll also get royalties if they use it in an advertisement.
From mouthwatering food pics to selling feet and hand pics, there is a market for every type of photographer.
49. Resin Trays & Coasters
Resin is an easy-to-work-with material that beginners can use to make all sorts of items: coasters, trays, jewelry, the list is endless. With a little patience and an eye for simple design, you can make and sell these crafts for anywhere between $15-$100+, depending on the product.
Opt for clear resin and you’ll even be able to offer personalized photo products, a ‘clear’ bestseller on marketplaces like Etsy.
50. Pet supplies
Making items to sell for pets is a business idea with huge potential. In fact, the global market is estimated to top $269 billion by 2025. What can we say? Fur babies deserve to be spoiled. Dog treats, catnip toys, and pet collars are all easy things to make to sell from home if you already have a fairly creative side.
You can also make simple supplies, such as comfy beds, pet bowls, collars, or clothes for your furry friends to sell at local pet stores or marketplace.
An Instagram page or shop can help too, as pet lovers like to follow furry friends and related pages.
Just check these hashtags:
• #petsupplies
• #petlovers
• #petsofinstagram
• #petlifestyle
Online Places to Sell Your CraftsEtsy is probably the most well-known resource for people to sell their homemade goods, but there are many other places you can list and sell your items online, including: • Aftcra • Art Fire • Handmade at Amazon • Handmade Artists • Handmadeology Market • indieCart • iCraft Gifts • Zibbet You can also set up your own e-commerce storefront to complement your listings on these sites instead of using any of the online craft resources listed above. |
Conclusion
Making handmade items at home is not easy for clumsy and impatient people. On the other hand, the income from handmade goods is not high if you just learn to do and start selling online because the price will not be high.
However, if you persevere and improve the quality and aesthetics of the product, you can earn great money from making handmade items at home.
How much capital is needed to open a handmade shop?
Depending on the type of business you choose, the capital needed to open a handmade shop will vary. If you have less than 10 million VND, you can start an online business. If you have more capital, from about 40 million or more, you can rent space and open a shop to do business.
How to buy handmade materials?
You should buy wholesale, buy in bags or large bags because the price will be much cheaper than buying retail. However, you shouldn't just buy a lot of leftovers as cheap as possible, but buy a sample as soon as possible, because there are a lot of materials that you may never use.
Therefore, before buying, make a list of ingredients to buy to avoid waste.
