Here is a look at 3 ideas for wood crafts to sell on Etsy:
Etsy Wood Art #1: Necklace Pendants
To get started with a small inexpensive wood craft to sell on Etsy why not make wood pendants for necklaces. You can take simple pieces of small shapes of wood and pre drill a hole in the top. This will be where your chain can slip through.
Now, take your wood burning tool and engrave images into the pendant. Natural elements really work great for this. Fern leaves, birds, flowers, and rain drops are a few ides to get you started.
Once wood burned you can seal or stain the small pendants of wood. The stain will give them a finished look.
Etsy Wood Art #2: Wood Boxes and Jewelry Boxes
Wood boxes and jewelry boxes are another easy and fun wood craft for a variety of reasons. First of all you can buy the boxes pre made and customize them to suit your looks. You can use pre made new boxes from the craft store, but a great idea is to recycle wood boxes you find at the flea market.
You can take old damaged wood boxes and sand them to create a smooth surface to decorate. Whether you wood burn, stain, or paint you can use the wood box as a base to create some fun and functional art to sell on Etsy.
Line the insides of the boxes with felt to turn them into soft jewelry boxes.
Etsy Wood Art #3: Wall Plaques
Finally, if you love to draw, paint or even wood burn, then use slices of tree trunks as canvasses to create one of a kind art. You can paint on the wood with acrylic paints if painting is your thing.
Wood bringing also works well on plaques of wood. You can create checker board, elaborate art pieces, or almost any design you wish. Be sure to seal your work with wood stain if you do wood burn the piece.
A final idea is to add pictures and other art to the wood with decoupage. Get creative here and you wood work will really stand out on Etsy.
