50 Easy Crafts To Make And Sell | Be A Crafty Entrepreneur

Who says you can’t put your craft skills to good use when it comes to business? Personally, I’ve gotten a good number of orders on some of the DIY projects below. That being said, here are 50 easy DIYs to help you get started with your Etsy account! Check out the full list to find your favorite easy crafts to make and sell.

 

1. Gold Foiled Pencil Cup

This chic gold foiled pencil cup is a cinch to make. Start by spraying white paint on a glass tumbler. Apply thin strips of double sided tape, once the paint has dried. Then, peel off the backing and stick on the foil. Finally, unravel the foil, and start photographing your beautiful masterpiece.

2. Silver And Turquoise Feather Pendants

This feather pendant has an intricate design, no one will be able to resist. Want to know the trick to getting those feather details right? Simply use an x-acto knife for the tiny markings on the pendant.

3. Monogrammed Clay Keychains

When making these keychains, start by cutting the clay into your desired shape. Then, stamp your letters on using a clay emboss kit. Once you’re done, poke a hole at the top and bake it in the oven until the clay has gone hard. When it’s ready, insert a jump ring through the hole on top, then loop in a smaller jump ring as well as a key ring after.

4. Gold Dot Champagne Flutes

These DIY champagne flutes would look super elegant as a wedding gift. Did I mention all you need to do is place a few gold dots using pointed Q-tips and gold nail polish?

5. Chalkboard Calendars

When making this calendar, remember to place painters tape on the sides of the board first. This will help you mark off the chalkboard area.

6. DIY Crystal Geodes

DIY your own crystal geode with an eggshell, food coloring, glue, and alum powder. This tutorial uses fake eggshells from Walmart, but if you’d like, you could opt to use real eggshells instead — just be sure to be very delicate when handling them as they tend to break easily.

7. Flowery Perler Notebook

Feel a hint of nostalgia as you set your eyes on this flowery perler notebook. By the way, don’t forget to place a weight on top of the perler while waiting for it to dry.

8. Scrappy Key Fobs

These key fobs are a cute way to store your keys! If you’re someone like me who tends to lose their keys in the bottom of their bag, I highly suggest picking a fabric in a striking color so it’s easier to find. This is surely one of the easy crafts to make and sell since everyone has keys!

9. Clothespin Picture Wreaths

This picture wreath lets you show off your photos without stocking up on too many picture frames. Remember, your main item for this project are the clothespins. So the more you have, the more photos you can display.

10. Washi Tape Clocks

Upgrade an ordinary clock with a few strips of washi tape. Don’t forget to go crazy by picking out a design with all sorts of cute and funky patterns.

11. Metal Roses

These DIY metal roses look so punk chic. I especially love how the embossing tool gives a unique texture to the flower petals.

12. Cutting Board Clocks

Upcycle a cutting board into a DIY clock. You could do this project with scrap boards you have at home as well.

Tip: Don’t forget to leave a few points or marks for easier time references such as 12 nn, 3 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm.

13. Convertible Harvest Apron And Produce Bag

This project is beyond amazing because it’s dual-purpose — a total yes in my book.

Tip: Get rid of those pesky fraying edges by sewing on a zigzag stitch.

14. Lace Up Flats

Give plain flats extra flair by attaching laces on them. They’ll look perfect when paired with a knee-length skirt.

Tip: Sew on pieces of ribbon for the loops. They’re much easier to thread through as opposed to a suede cord.

Tip: A cactus mix — potting soil, pumice, and coir — is the best soil for succulents.

This jewelry box is a gem on its own because it holds 3 layers inside. The cup can be used for storing earrings, while the medium and small discs can hold bracelets and rings.

24. Anthropologie Inspired Matchstick Earrings

The secret to make these Anthropologie-inspired matchstick earrings lie in the hammering. If you hammer until the frames lay flat, they’ll become stronger and won’t bend easily.
