When I first started selling crafts online, I thought it was enough to make what I liked. But here’s the thing: if you want to make steady sales, you have to keep an eye on what people are actually buying. Pinterest is a great place to see trends in real time because people use it to plan, shop, and get inspired. Some crafts go viral and disappear fast, but others stick around because they’re useful, giftable, or just look good in a home.
In this list, I’ll walk you through 22 craft projects that are dominating sales right now on Pinterest. These aren’t just pretty pictures they’re projects you can actually make and sell. I’ve included why they work, how I’ve seen them sell, and tips for keeping them simple enough to produce but unique enough to stand out.
The good thing is you don’t need a big workshop or fancy equipment to start. Most of these can be made from basic supplies, a few tools, and a bit of practice. The goal is to pick one or two ideas, try them out, and see which ones get the best response in your shop or at local markets.
1. Polymer Clay Wall Hooks
These are one of those small crafts that feel both functional and decorative. I tried making a few using polymer clay rolled into simple shapes half-moons, arches, and spheres and then attached them to screw bases. They work as coat hooks, key holders, or even towel hooks in a kitchen.
The best part is you can play with colors and textures, which makes each piece unique. They photograph well, and buyers love the mix of art and utility. They also don’t take much clay, so you can make multiple hooks in one batch and sell them as sets.
2. Terrazzo Coasters
Terrazzo patterns are trending on Pinterest in everything from countertops to home decor, but you don’t need stone to get the look.
I made terrazzo coasters by mixing colorful chips into air-dry clay and sealing them with a glossy finish. They came out looking modern but still handmade. People buy them as gifts or to add a pop of style to their coffee tables.
Coasters are small, easy to ship, and you can bundle them in sets of four. What makes them sell is the playful color combinations Pinterest shoppers love that they look trendy but still affordable.
3. Crochet Tote Bags
Instead of the usual plant hangers or dishcloths, crochet tote bags are what’s selling now. I saw a lot of pins featuring chunky, open-weave bags for farmer’s markets or beach trips, so I decided to try one. Using thick cotton yarn, the bag came together faster than I expected, and it had a sturdy feel.
These sell well because they’re reusable, stylish, and eco-friendly. Neutral tones like cream and tan do best, but bold colors also catch attention online. The best part is they fold flat for shipping and can be made in different sizes without changing the pattern much.
4. Cement Desk Organizers
Cement crafts are all over Pinterest, and one that really stands out is desk organizers. I poured cement into silicone molds to make pen holders and small trays, and the finish looked surprisingly sleek. Buyers like these because they fit the modern minimalist vibe and are useful for home offices.
You can leave the cement plain gray or mix in pigment for color. Adding a cork or felt base keeps them from scratching desks, which buyers appreciate. They’re inexpensive to make but look high-end, which is why they sell so well.
5. Dried Flower Resin Bookmarks
Bookmarks might sound small, but these are everywhere on Pinterest right now. I pressed wildflowers and sealed them in resin molds shaped like slim rectangles. Once cured, I added a tassel at the top. They turned out lightweight, colorful, and durable.
Shoppers love them because they make affordable gifts and can be customized with different flowers or color schemes. The best part? They’re quick to produce, which means you can keep your price low while still making a profit.
6. Hand-Painted Wooden Spoons (Evergreen)
Wooden utensils have always sold, but what gives them an edge on Pinterest right now is hand-painted handles.
I started with plain wooden spoons and added simple color-block designs using food-safe paint. They turned from basic kitchen tools into something giftable and decorative. Buyers love them for bridal showers or housewarming presents.
The key is keeping the design simple stripes, dots, or dipped ends. Too much paint can chip, so sealing them with a food-safe finish is important. I usually bundle three spoons together, and they sell faster as a set than individually.
7. Embroidered Canvas Totes (Trending + Evergreen)
Embroidery has picked up again, especially when combined with something practical. I stitched simple floral and geometric patterns onto blank canvas tote bags, and the result felt fresh and personal. Pinterest is full of embroidered fashion pieces, but totes are easier to sell since they’re functional.
What makes them appealing is the mix of sustainability (reusable bags) and artistry (hand-stitching). If you’re new to embroidery, start with simple line work. Shoppers don’t expect perfection they like the handmade charm.
8. Minimalist Clay Earrings (Evergreen)
Clay earrings are still dominating sales because they’re lightweight, stylish, and easy to customize. I once made a batch of neutral-toned arch earrings, and they were gone within a week at a local market. Pinterest shoppers love them in earthy shades like terracotta and sand.
The trick is sanding and sealing them so they look polished. Simple shapes sell the most circles, arches, or teardrops because they go with everyday outfits. These are inexpensive to produce and easy to ship, which keeps profit margins solid.
9. Personalized Dog Tags (Trending)
Pet crafts are one of the fastest-growing categories on Pinterest. I started making stamped metal dog tags with names and phone numbers, and the orders came in steady. People love the idea of something stylish yet functional for their pets.
Brass and stainless steel work best since they’re durable. Adding little icons like a paw print or bone makes them stand out. These sell because pet owners see them as both practical and a chance to spoil their pets with something unique.
10. Pressed Flower Phone Cases (Trending)
Phone cases are always in demand, but the pressed flower trend is what’s making them pop on Pinterest now. I pressed small blooms, sealed them in clear resin, and attached them to transparent phone cases. They turned out delicate but durable.
Buyers like them because they combine tech with nature, and each one looks different. Popular flowers include daisies and lavender, but colorful wildflowers make them stand out too.
These are a bit more delicate to make, but once you get the hang of the resin, you can batch them. They sell especially well as custom orders where buyers choose their flower colors.
11. Handwoven Wall Baskets
These are popping up all over Pinterest kitchens and living rooms. I tried weaving with seagrass rope and round frames, and the baskets turned out both decorative and useful. People hang them on walls as art or use them for lightweight storage.
They sell well because they bring texture and a natural look to interiors. The trick is keeping them lightweight and flat-backed so they hang neatly. Sets of three in different sizes look best and attract buyers who want a ready-made wall arrangement.
12. Concrete Candle Holders
Instead of making candles themselves, I experimented with molds to create concrete holders. Once sealed, they had a matte stone finish that felt modern and minimal. Buyers like them for tabletops and shelves, especially when sold in pairs.
Pinterest shoppers are drawn to the neutral gray, but adding pigment for soft colors makes them stand out even more. I’ve noticed these sell well when paired with simple taper candles you can even bundle them together for more value.
13. Painted Terracotta Plant Pots
Plant crafts never go out of style, but right now, hand-painted terracotta pots are especially strong. I started with small pots, added simple geometric designs, and sealed them so they’d hold up outdoors. They sell because they’re inexpensive to make but feel personal.
Buyers love giving them as gifts with a plant tucked inside. Pinterest shoppers lean toward bold patterns stripes, arches, and abstract brushstrokes but neutral white-on-clay designs are popular too.
14. Beaded Glassware
This is one of those projects that looks fancy but is surprisingly simple. I glued glass beads in patterns around tumblers and jars, and once dried, they looked like boutique pieces. People use them as drinking glasses, candle holders, or small vases.
They sell well because they’re affordable, giftable, and versatile. The key is using strong, waterproof adhesive so the beads don’t shift. Sets of four make the best sellers, and Pinterest shoppers are especially drawn to pastel or jewel-toned bead designs.
15. Fabric-Covered Journals
Journals are evergreen sellers, but the fabric-covered versions are trending now. I wrapped plain notebooks in linen, canvas, or patterned cotton, and added simple embellishments like ribbon ties. They feel personal and high-quality, yet they’re quick to make.
Buyers love them as gifts for students, teachers, or anyone who journals. Pinterest shoppers are pinning lots of muted colors think beige, sage, and dusty pink which makes them feel timeless. They’re lightweight, easy to ship, and you can offer customization like initials stamped on the cover.
16. Upcycled Denim Storage Bins
Old jeans can be turned into sturdy fabric bins that work for shelves, desks, or even toy storage. I cut panels from denim legs, stitched them together, and added a simple fabric liner. The result was durable and stylish, with that worn-in look buyers love.
These bins sell because they’re practical and sustainable Pinterest shoppers love anything that feels eco-friendly. Handles made from belt loops give them extra charm and make them more functional.
17. Woven Keychains with Beads
Keychains are small but surprisingly strong sellers, especially when they have a handmade twist. I braided cotton cord, added wooden beads, and finished them with a metal clasp. Each one took less than half an hour, but they looked polished enough to gift.
Buyers often order multiples as stocking stuffers or party favors. Pinterest shoppers are pinning these in neutral palettes, but bright color combos do well too. They’re lightweight, cheap to mail, and a good entry point for new sellers.
18. Patterned Beeswax Wraps
Plastic alternatives are trending, and beeswax wraps are one of the most pinned eco-friendly crafts. I made them by brushing melted beeswax over cotton fabric squares and letting them set. They’re reusable, washable, and fold around food like cling wrap.
Buyers purchase them in sets with different sizes for sandwiches, bowls, or snacks. Pinterest shoppers like bold prints florals, fruit, or geometric designs. These sell well because they’re both sustainable and practical, which keeps them in steady demand.
19. Decorative Bookends
Bookends are one of those underappreciated crafts that have picked up online. I made a pair using cement molds, then painted them with marble effects. Another time, I used wood blocks and wrapped them with patterned paper.
They sold because they’re functional but double as decor. Pinterest buyers love seeing them styled on open shelves. You can make sets to match themes modern, rustic, or colorful and price them higher since they’re usually sold in pairs.
20. Embossed Clay Trinket Boxes
Instead of flat clay trays, I made small lidded trinket boxes using air-dry clay pressed into molds. I embossed the lids with lace patterns before sealing, which gave them a delicate texture. Buyers like them for jewelry, keys, or small desk items.
Pinterest shoppers are drawn to anything that feels handcrafted but still polished, and these boxes hit both marks. They’re easy to customize with paint or metallic accents, so each one feels unique.
21. Rope-Wrapped Pendant Lamps
This one takes a bit more time, but it’s worth it. I wrapped thick jute rope around a plain pendant shade, securing it with hot glue as I went. The finished lamp gave off a warm, textured look that fit the coastal and boho styles trending on Pinterest.
Buyers love these because they make a big statement in kitchens or dining rooms without costing much to produce. Just be sure to use heat-safe materials so it’s safe for regular use.
22. Mosaic Garden Stepping Stones
Outdoor crafts are doing well right now, and mosaic stepping stones are a standout. I made mine by embedding broken tiles and colored glass into concrete molds. Once set, they looked vibrant and sturdy. Buyers use them to brighten up gardens, patios, or walkways.
Pinterest is full of pins showing creative designs floral patterns, geometric shapes, or even initials. These sell because they’re functional, decorative, and durable. Each one is different, which makes them feel special to buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What crafts sell the most on Pinterest right now?
The best-selling crafts on Pinterest are the ones that balance style with function. Things like terrazzo coasters, embroidered totes, polymer clay earrings, and beeswax wraps are dominating because they’re both trendy and useful. Evergreen items like journals, plant pots, or jewelry also sell, but they do best when you add a modern twist.
How do I know if my craft idea will sell?
A simple way is to check Pinterest trends. Type in the product (like “crochet bags” or “resin bookmarks”) and see how often it appears in recent pins. If you see lots of saves, clicks, and similar items, that’s a good sign it’s in demand. You can also test by posting your own pin or listing a few items on Etsy and watching how much interest they get.
Do I need expensive tools to start selling crafts?
No you can start with basic supplies. Many of the projects here use things like clay, fabric, or cement molds that cost under $20. Over time, you might invest in better tools like a heat press, sewing machine, or resin kit, but they’re not required in the beginning. The main thing is to practice your craft until your pieces look consistent and ready to sell.
How can I price my crafts fairly?
Start by adding up the cost of materials, then factor in your time (set an hourly rate you’re comfortable with). Add a little margin for packaging and shipping. A general rule is to double or triple your material cost so you’re making a profit without underpricing your work. Checking similar items on Etsy or Pinterest can also help you find a fair price range.
Where is the best place to sell my crafts?
Pinterest itself isn’t a selling platform, but it drives traffic. Most sellers link their pins to an Etsy shop, personal website, or Shopify store. Etsy is a good place to start since it already has buyers searching for handmade goods. Local craft fairs and markets also work well, especially for items that are tactile, like jewelry or baskets.
Wrapping It Up
We’ve covered 22 craft projects that are getting the most attention on Pinterest right now. Some are practical, like beeswax wraps and resin bookmarks. Others lean decorative, like terrazzo coasters or mosaic stepping stones. And a few hit both worlds, like embroidered totes or rope-wrapped lamps.
The key point is this: people are buying crafts that are useful, giftable, and modern-looking. If you’re just starting, pick one project that feels doable with the supplies you already have. Don’t overcomplicate it sometimes the simplest projects sell the best.
Here’s the fun part: you don’t have to make them all. Try one or two, see what gets pinned or ordered, and build from there. That’s how most side hustles grow not from making everything at once, but from testing what really connects with buyers.
And if your first attempt comes out lopsided or a little rough, don’t worry. My first terrazzo coaster looked more like a pancake than a pattern, but it still found a home because someone liked the handmade charm. That’s the beauty of craft imperfections make each piece yours.
So grab your supplies, pick a project, and give it a go. Who knows? The next thing you make might just be the pin everyone’s saving.
