Are you looking to make resin crafting your side hustle? Resin crafting can be expensive but fun. Here’s a few ways you can turn your passion in to a business.
Sell your products
Selling your resin products can help you make a little extra money and allow you to cover your crafting costs. Think about selling your products at:
- Craft fairs and markets
Visit local sales before you launch in to asking for a table. You want to find a fair or market that isn’t already saturated with resin crafters. You want to make sure its a busy event too. Do they advertise? Are the events well known? All questions to ask. - Sell online
Setting up Facebook, Instagram, TikTok pages can be a relatively low cost way of advertising and selling your products. Etsy can be great but keep in mind that you will be subject to high sellers fees.
