10 Things to Make and Sell From Home

6. Photographs

Whether you have your own website or sell on stock photo sites like Foap, photography is a profitable business.

You can also sell your photographs at art galleries, and many galleries also have websites for online sales. You can also sell custom portrait sessions for families, graduates, weddings, and more by scheduling online with social media or through your website.

7. Signs

Handmade signs have seen a surge in popularity over the past few years. Just look at popular home decor and design accounts on Instagram, and you’ll see a ton of them.

Whether you paint or use stencils, you can create signs from various materials, although wood is currently all the rage. What’s more, signs are usually quick to make, so you can promptly fulfill orders (or stock inventory), especially if you have a cutting machine like a Cricut.

Tutorials for creating signs are everywhere too. Check out Pinterest and YouTube if you’d like to learn how to make signs of your own.

8. Restored Furniture

This can be a bit tricky as furniture is expensive to ship. But who says you have to ship it?

If you love refurbishing old, neglected furniture pieces, you can still sell them online by running ads on Craigslist or listing them in Facebook groups, then meeting locally for delivery.

This idea may not be the biggest money maker simply because of the time it takes on a single piece of furniture, but there’s something to be said for creating a labor of love.

9. Handmade Soap

I’ve always loved soap. Call me weird, but when I was a little girl, I had a jar of all the different soaps I collected. Some were in the shape of animals, and others were like small flowers. I always loved the smell.

Now as an adult, I’ve seen some amazing homemade soaps created by talented soap makers. I’m talking everything from yummy scents to soap that looks so much like food you might be tempted to eat it!

Plus, there are homemade soaps so gorgeous I’d rather use them as home decor than use them to wash my body.

Soap can be sold online either on your own website or one of the many sites listed in this post. You can also easily sell your handmade soaps at craft fairs and farmer’s markets.

11. Handmade Jewelry

Custom-made jewelry has developed kind of a cult-like following in recent years. When people like a brand, they tend to stay with it and make future purchases from them as well.

People love to have products that are customized for them as it winds up becoming a memorable piece that they cherish and maybe even pass down to family members.

The handmade movement has been great for jewelry artists as customers are shopping at small businesses instead of big box stores.

Whether you enjoy making necklaces, bracelets, rings, or other items, jewelry is one of the best things to make and sell. And the market offers so much potential for you to use the materials you enjoy working with, from beading to stamping leather to silversmithing and more!
