39 Easy Crafts You Can Make and Sell

Have you ever wondered how a person learned to make or do something? I always marvel at the things people can craft and want to know how they did it. With this huge compilation of tutorials, you also can learn how to make amazing products to sell online, at craft shows, or anywhere else!
I had some basic criteria for choosing the tutorials in this post.
-
- Every tutorial had to be beginner friendly. Even a “non-crafty” person could make these!
- Every craft had to turn out looking stellar. No Becky Home-Ecky crafts here!
I also conveniently organized the tutorials by category—candles, coasters, cups & mugs, decor, dishes & planters, ornaments, printables, and soaps & beauty. If one category interests you more than the others, feel free to skip down to that section.
