Wondering if you can start an online business selling DIY crafts and make some extra cash?
The opportunity for a craft business is massive.
Globally, the craft business is projected to hit $50.9 billion in 2024. With a unique idea like making crafts from beeswax or running a subscription box business with different crafts each month, you should be asking – what products could you make and sell to tap into that?
You shouldn’t just pick up any craft and think you’d make extra money from it. You also have to put the right side of your brain to work. You need an in-demand product niche and a target audience ripe for marketing. You find that through proper research.
When you are the manufacturer, you are in complete control of your brand marketing. The buck stops with you when it comes to quality and price. If you’re an artist, there’s no limit to what you can sell.
Not the DIY type? Don’t fret. You can still sell handmade products by private or white labeling them. You can also bundle like products to create your own subscription boxes.
Short on DIY project ideas? I’ve got over 100 things to make and sell. Whether you’re a beginner or a small business looking to expand your offerings, there’s something on this list for you.
Before sell crafts on marketplace like Etsy, realize the long-term opportunity is better on your own site.
Sites like Etsy continually squeeze the profit margin out of sellers. Don’t be the victim of changing policies that kill profitability.
I looked into the market for products that people are searching for and buying and narrowed it down to 10 categories of crafts that you can make and cash in on. In addition to showing you the top DIY products that are in demand, I’ve also included resources and tutorials to show you how to make them.
Please do not blindly copy these ideas and try to sell them as your own. Use them to inspire your own business idea.
You can turn to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram for market research to help guide you, too.

Whatever the reason is, entering this market makes a lot of sense. The industry is set to clock in at an estimated $838.6 billion by 2027. You should look into selling any of these:

Pixels are popular things to make and sell. The monthly search volume for pixel art on Amazon is 1700 a month. Google keyword volume comes in at 205K per month.
Paint a few originals and use print-on-demand when you sell them. You can also sell frames via drop shipping as a cross-sell. You can sell these on Merch by Amazon, too.

Although people are searching for pillow covers on Amazon – 36,000 – and Google – 19,000-, the trick to selling them is specializing to a specific audience. The design of a child’s pillow cover is different from that of an adult athlete. You don’t even need to know how to sew to make one.

9 Handmade Jewelry Examples
Selling homemade jewelry at craft fairs is one of the most common ways to make sales and cash in. But now, people are piling up to purchase homemade jewelry online because of the convenience.

To leverage this, you do have to realize that – like every other creative business – making jewelry takes a lot of time, creativity, skill, and effort. Ideas may not come every time, and if you are looking to sell different designs, this might pose an issue for you.
People typically don’t search specific keywords when jewelry shopping. They tend to use general keywords and look for something they like within that category.
