How to know which resin crafts to sell?

Hi resin crafting friends! Jane from Sustain My Craft Habit here. As resin craft bloggers and owners of 3 different online shops ourselves, we’re always looking for inspiration on creations we can add to our own inventory. By researching social media and reaching out to some of our favorite blogging friends, we’ve created this list of top resin crafts to make and sell.

One thing is for sure, there is definitely a market for handcrafted goods. And if you’ve ever thought about starting a handmade business, with the holidays coming up, it’s a great time to test it out and see if you can turn your crafty hobby into a creative business.

Top 12 Resin Crafts to Make and Sell

1. Resin Coasters

Coasters are a great option for making and selling as they are both decorative and functional at the same time. They are a wonderful gift giving option for weddings and housewarming occasions. And the addition of epoxy resin gives the coasters a long lasting finish, ensuring a level of quality that can’t be achieved otherwise. We’ve seen a huge interest in the geode/agate-style coasters and coastal beach-themed coasters, but the possibilities for other creative options are beyond numerous.

2. Keychains

There are so many ways to incorporate resin when making and selling keychains. Use it as a way to professionally embed pretty pressed flowers for the nature-lover or use it to seal a vintage map for those travel-buffs. Additionally, you can create monogram keychains which gives customers an option to personalize their purchase for themselves or someone else.

3. Jewelry

The sky’s the limit when it comes to resin jewelry, but the reality is you have to have something pretty unique to really stand out from the crowd. The competition for making and selling jewelry is quite high since it’s a relatively simple and inexpensive craft. But don’t let that discourage you! Just think of ways to offer something special that can’t be found elsewhere. Jewelry with pressed flowers or some Christmas jewelry are always great ideas.

4. Straw Toppers

Straw toppers are definitely a trend we’ve been following this past year. They are a fun accessory that the kids especially love but also come in handy at get togethers as a way of identifying drinks. They can even be made into cake toppers! These hearts and stars straw toppers and Happy Birthday cake topper are great examples.

DIY Resin Straw Toppers are such a fun resin craft for beginners and experts alike! Use EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy to create these cute marbled straw toppers.

5. Bookmarks

Bookmarks never go out of style! With resin, it’s easy to make beautiful and unique bookmarks such as these beach-themed ones or sparkling stars bookmarks to make and sell.

6. Serving Trays 

Serving trays have been a popular trend for quite some time and their popularity is not likely to diminish. People looking to buy a serving tray are often searching for personalized options and those protected with resin.

7. Cutting Boards

Similar to serving trays, cutting or serving boards are also a wonderful option to make and sell. People are loving the combination of wood and resin and especially pieces with a beach-themed, or seashore design.

8. Home Decor

Simple, one of a kind pieces of art and home decor are increasingly popular amongst buyers especially those that are custom or personalized such as this lovely DIY state sign.

9. Paperweights and Resin Pyramids

Aside from being incredibly fun to make, paperweights are on the rise in popularity. With most people working from home and learning remotely, beautiful nadture filled paperweights ( such as this fall leaf or dandelion one) are the perfect accessory to any home office. 

10. Furniture

Making and selling furniture can be a challenge for many reasons, one of them being the cost and logistics of shipping. But we’ve got some clever examples in the video of ways you can offer this type of product in your future shop.
