Coffee makes a perfect theme for crafts to sell on Etsy or your online craft store. You can use coffee as inspiration for so many crafts that will appeal to a large market of buyers.

Here are 3 ideas for coffee crafts to sell on Etsy or you online craft store:

Coffee Crafts for Online Craft Stores #1: Coffee Candles

Coffee candles are one of my favorite scents when searching for candles to light in my own home. You can find them in so many flavors and scents today. Nothing smells better than a coffee house and this is a great smell that is supering popular.

Check out your local craft store for coffee scents that can be added to your candle wax. You can also simply look for great coffee mugs to make into candles. This is a fun way to recycled vintage coffee mugs and keep them out of landfills. Be sure to use mugs that do not have any cracks or damage to them. This way they the candle wax will not leak out while you pour it into place.

Coffee Crafts for Online Craft Stores #2: Coffee Canisters

Coffee canisters are an awesome coffee themed gift to sell online at Etsy or your craft store. You can focus on only vintage coffee canisters or retro coffee canisters.

A look that can really be made custom by you though is to use stainless steel or solid colored coffee canisters and personalize them yourself. Try adhering stencils to a plain canister and using spray paint to paint on the detail.

You can add the birds, the ever-popular retro owl, and more! Take a look at the Time Machine section on Etsy. You can see if there is any popular theme, like the Owl theme, than is showing up. Choosing a specific animal or theme is a great way to appeal to someone who is collecting a certain flower or animal, but did not know they were in the market for coffee canisters!

Coffee Crafts for Online Craft Stores #3: Coffee Mugs

Finally, if you love to work in clay or porcelain, why no than build some bugs or wheel throw some mugs. You can take this one step further by inserting a prepackaged bag of coffee and wrapping, so that this is a complete gift ready to go. Customers will feel like the are getting a gift themselves, but know if they send it to someone else that it is packaged well and looks professional.
