Easy Crafts To Make Money



There are a good number of easy crafts to make money with. I will list those further on.

With the massive potential created with the internet, it is so much easier now to make good money with crafts.

Previously, however good the crafts you made were, the job of selling them was challenging as many creative people aren’t into selling. You just want to make crafts which is understandable.



I used to design greeting cards and was totally dependent on agents to sell them. I treid selling them myself and hated it! They were limited by how many shops they could visit in an average day. Plus, I had to pay them commission which really cut into my profit.



Anyone can now sell their crafts via the web to anyone in any country worldwide. It has transformed what was a challenging way to make money into a really viable method. You could sell them on eBay or via your own website.

If you are already a crafts person then these sections will help you get your crafts to a much bigger, wider audience.



What crafts can you do?

If you don’t already do crafts, here are some ideas as they can all be learned. Look for local classes and relevant books. Here are some easy crafts to make money with:

  • Jewellery.
  • Carve from wood.
  • Pottery.
  • Knitwear, both hand-knits and machine knitting.
  • Greeting cards.
  • Paintings.
  • Weaving.
  • Screen prints.
  • T-shirt designs.
  • Work with Leather


  • A close friend of mine started painting a few years ago. Jean is totally self taught. She worked in an office job at the time and has kids, so time was limited. However, she created a website and in time started selling enough paintings to leave her job.

    She's now a full-time artist, selling her fantastic abstract paintings worldwide! Here's her site: www.jeangdayton.com


    Without a website or ebay you are limited to what you can sell via local exhibitions and galleries and craft fairs. I have sold via craft fairs and it can be really good fun. But you have the costs of the stall to pay for, the costs to get there, and you may not sell anything on the day.

    It's also time consumimg and the packing up at home and after at the fair can get boring! It's a bit of a gamble in my experience.

    The website and/or ebay route is superb and cuts out all these problems. It means you can concentrate on your craft, rather than on trying to sell.



    If you can create something unique, that is good quality and which supplies something that people want, you could make a great income from home, selling your crafts via the web.
