If you’re looking for some inspiration and ideas for what you could sell at a craft fair, you’ve come to the right place. There are so many different crafts and products that you could make. I’ve listed below ones that you’ll see pretty regularly at markets!
Jewelry
Jewelry is a large category, so here are a few different styles of jewelry that you could sell:
- clay jewelry
- beading
- wire jewelry
- silver and goldsmithing
The options are endless! Jewelry definitely tends to sell really well at markets, especially around holidays where customers are searching for special gifts for loved ones.
Embroidery
I occasionally sell embroidery at in person markets. Items such as original embroidered hoop art can be a bit harder to sell in my experience. However, I have found that things like embroidery kits or embroidered patches sell fairly well!
Knitting / Crochet
Knit and crocheted items are a great craft to sell at markets. Bring an assortment of large and small items to see what does best. Some ideas for products include:
- crochet scrunchies
- knit blankets
- crocheted tops
- crocheted stuffed animals
Pottery
I always see ceramic artists at craft markets! There are so many different products you could potentially make and sell:
- Mugs
- Flower Pots
- Plates and Bowls
- Figurines
Original Art / Art Prints
Original art can be a bit more challenging to sell in person, especially when a customer is not familiar with your work. It doesn’t hurt to bring it along and see if it sells!
I would also recommend bringing lower ticket items such as art prints, because these are much easier to sell to market goers.
Greeting Cards
Is graphic design or illustration your thing? Greeting cards are a great and easy way to make some money at a craft fair.
Dried or Fresh Flowers
If you have an eye for floral arrangements or you like to make art with dried / or pressed flowers, you could definitely bring this to sell at a craft fair.
Resin Art
Resin art has become super popular over the past few years. Here are some ideas for some interesting products:
- jewelry dishes
- earrings
- resin and wood art
- coasters

Quilts
Quilts may be a bit harder to sell because of the price-point on them. Don’t let that stop you from bringing them though! You could also consider bringing along some lower priced items such as small wall hangings, table runners, or oven mitts.
Candles
Everyone loves a good smelling candle. This would be a really fun craft to make and design nice packaging for.
Here’s a few ideas:
- formulate your own unique fragrances
- soy candles
- candles with unique containers / packaging – check out this concrete candle vessel for inspiration
Soap
Another great smelling item, and one that sells relatively easily is soap! Here are a few unique ideas to help your product stand out.
- vegan soap
- essential oil soap
- shampoo bars
- laundry detergent soap
