Paper Crafts

• Paper crafts are relatively easy to make. Greeting cards and stationary items are an example of some paper crafts that can be resold. Scrapbook stores sell a variety of papers and embellishments. Blank note cards made from pretty paper and matching embellishments can be sold individually or in sets. "Thank you" notes and "Happy Birthday" cards are all card types that will appeal to a wide variety of people.
  
  

Beaded Crafts

• Beaded crafts can be time consuming, but can yield sellable crafts. Key chains, bookmarks and jewelry items can be made from beads. Beaded bracelets can be made in local school colors and sold at street or craft fairs. Colorful beaded bracelets can also be sold. Invest in high-end glass beads and crystals to create more elegant and expensive bracelets and necklaces. Native American-style necklaces and other jewerly items can yield profits.
  
  

Regional Crafts

• Regions differ in many ways, including locally inspired crafts. Create crafts for tourists and locals alike by finding a local landmark or craft that is indigenous to the area. Add the city or county name to the items to market to tourists. For instance, if you live in an area that thrives on the fishing industry, consider carving fish out of wood or perhaps make fishing lures for resale. If you are in an area that embraces Dutch heritage, lace crafts and wooden windmills would have an appeal. Consider what makes your region special and incorporate these things into your crafts.
  
  

Yarn Crafts

• Knitting and crocheting can be a relaxing craft. Hats, gloves and scarves can be sold. Try different patterns and color combinations to appeal to a wide variety of people. Advanced crafters may choose to make sweaters or blankets. Baby items such as booties and bonnets appeal to new mothers and those looking for a baby gift.
