How to Pick Christmas Crafts to Sell
The best sellers share a few traits. Before you make 50 of anything, check these:
- Low supply cost: many sellers aim for a price of roughly three to four times the supply cost, so there’s room for your time and fees.
- Fast to repeat: if one piece takes more than an hour, it needs a higher price. Batch the same step across many pieces to save time.
- Easy to display and pack: flat or light items are cheaper to ship and easier to set out on a table.
- Price your time: a simple formula is supplies + (hours × your hourly rate) + a share of fees, booth costs and packaging.
- Avoid licensed characters: the Grinch, Disney and sports logos are trademarked. Selling items with them can get your shop shut down.
- Check local rules: some cities and states require a sales tax permit or business license, and food items fall under cottage food laws.
Wooden Christmas Crafts to Sell
Wooden Christmas crafts to sell are popular at craft fairs because they feel handmade and last for years.
1. Painted Wood Slice Ornaments
Paint simple designs like trees, snowflakes or a family name on wood slices, seal them and add twine loops. Batch-paint the background on 20 at once, then add details. Personalized names let you charge more.
2. Wood Bead Garlands
String natural or painted wood beads on jute and finish each end with a fabric or jute tassel. Sell them in two or three lengths and color mixes. They pack flat and ship cheaply.
3. Reversible Porch Signs
Paint “Merry Christmas” on one side of a tall board and “Welcome” or a fall greeting on the other so the sign works for months. Use outdoor paint and a sealer. Porch signs are a higher-priced item that anchors your table.
4. Wood Block “JOY” Sets
Cut or buy small wood blocks, paint them and stencil one letter on each to spell JOY, NOEL or PEACE. Add a small greenery sprig on top of one block. They’re quick to batch and make easy gifts.
5. Scrap Wood Christmas Trees
Cut scrap boards or pallet slats into graduated lengths, stack them into a tree shape on a dowel and add a star on top. Offer natural, white-washed and green finishes. Work safely with saws and wear eye protection.
6. Personalized Name Ornaments
Add names to wood or acrylic ornament blanks with a paint pen, wood burner or vinyl. Take custom orders at your booth and offer pickup or mailing. Bring a sample board so buyers can choose fonts.
Quick Christmas Crafts to Sell
These quick Christmas crafts to sell take 20 minutes or less each, perfect for filling a table on a deadline.
7. Mini Cabinet Wreaths
Wrap small grapevine or wire rings with faux greenery and add a velvet ribbon for hanging on kitchen cabinets or windows. Sell them in sets of four or six. Small wreaths are trending on Pinterest as “cabinet wreaths.”
8. Pinecone Fire Starters
Dip dry pinecones in melted wax mixed with a little cinnamon and let them harden in a muffin tin. Package three in a cellophane bag with a tag and use instructions. Melt wax in a double boiler, never directly on the burner.
9. Cinnamon Dough Ornaments
Mix cinnamon and applesauce into a dough, cut shapes with cookie cutters and let them air dry for a few days. They smell wonderful at a booth. Add a label that they’re decorative, not edible.
10. Scented Sachet Ornaments
Sew small fabric squares into pillows and fill them with dried lavender, pine needles or cedar shavings. Add a ribbon loop so they hang on a tree or in a closet. Use festive fabric scraps to keep costs low.
11. Bottle Brush Tree Jars
Glue a mini bottle brush tree inside a small jar lid, add faux snow and close it upside down. Sell them as a set of three sizes. They’re popular gifts for teachers and coworkers.
12. Felt Garlands
String felt balls or cut felt stars on embroidery thread with a large needle. Offer classic red and green and soft neutral color mixes. Garlands are lightweight, so shipping is cheap.
Handmade Christmas Gifts to Sell
Buyers shopping for gifts will pay more for handmade Christmas gifts that feel personal and useful.
13. Soy Candles in Tins
Pour soy wax with holiday fragrance oils like balsam, cranberry or cinnamon into travel tins, then add a printed label. Follow the fragrance supplier’s safety data and add a warning label for safe burning. Sell singles and gift sets of three.
14. Crochet or Knit Beanies
Make chunky beanies with faux fur pom-poms in winter colors. Chunky yarn works up much faster than worsted weight. Price for your time, since these take longer than most items.

17. Hot Cocoa Gift Kits
Package store-bought cocoa mix, marshmallows and a candy cane in a cellophane bag or mug with a handmade tag. Use commercially packaged food to avoid cottage food restrictions. Check your state’s rules before selling homemade food.

Cut names or short phrases from permanent vinyl and apply them to clear, white or matte ornaments. Offer a few font choices and take orders ahead. Prep weeding in batches to save time.
19. Personalized Stockings
Press iron-on vinyl names onto plain stockings in a coordinating set. Families often buy several at once. Test heat settings on a scrap first so the vinyl sticks.
20. Holiday Mugs

24. Frosted Jar Luminaries
Coat jars with Mod Podge and Epsom salt for a frosty finish and add a battery tea light and twine bow. Display them glowing on your table to draw shoppers in. Bundle three for a better price.
