Selling craft projects are great way to bring in additional income or just pad your pocket with a little spending money. Some sell better than others and others are simply labors of love. However it’s always worth a shot which I why I want to show you 5 craft projects that you can sell
Homemade Jewelry
Jewelry can be simple and very affordable to make and sell. However, you do have to take into consideration the level of supplies that you buy in exchange for the price of the jewelry. Items that are several hundred dollars are usually not made using the cheapest wire at your local craft store.
Here are some tutorials that will help you get started:

Painted Signs
If you have a vinyl cutter, this is a pretty simple process where you cut out a vinyl stencil, place it on the wood and dab paint on top of it. When it’s covered in paint, you remove the stencil.
But if you don’t have a vinyl cutter, you can still make signs using paper and a pencil.
Find out how to make hand lettered signs without a vinyl cutter. Remember that many free templates for designs say that they’re not for commercial use – that means that you can’t use them to make products to sell.
Here’s another tutorial on how to make signs that involves a wood burning tool.
