15 Resin Crafts That Actually Sold (And Paid My Rent)

Everyone loves to talk about “the best resin crafts to sell,” but most lists feel like wishful thinking. This one’s different—it’s based on what actually sold for me. Real orders. Real income. And yeah, some total flops too (but I’ll save those for another post).

I started making small resin pieces to fill time between epoxy table builds, and honestly? These crafts helped cover studio rent more than once. Here are the **15 resin projects that people actually paid me for**—along with a few insights into why I think they worked.

1. Dried Flower Keychains

Hands down, my top seller. I used tiny dried florals I had left over from other builds and dropped them into simple letter molds. Sealed with a glossy coat and attached to a gold clip, these sold fast at craft shows and Etsy. Bonus: super low materials cost.

2. Resin Dog Tags

I didn’t expect these to do well, but pet owners loved them. I embedded tiny names with vinyl, a bit of glitter, and sealed it with domed resin. People liked choosing the color themselves. This would pair perfectly with the Northern Cardinal Desk aesthetic, too—same bold red tones.

3. Resin Bookmark Strips

Clear resin, gold foil, pressed leaves—done. I made dozens of these using silicone bookmark molds. At $8–10 a piece, they moved fast and were incredibly low-lift to make. Great for batching in bulk.

4. Butterfly Charms

I bought a pack of tiny acetate butterflies, added pigment swirls behind them, and cast them in 1-inch molds. These were big on Instagram. I ended up attaching them to phone grips and even sold them as bag charms.

5. Tiny Resin Dishes

I made these as test pours—little catch-all bowls with mica, foil, and leftover crystal chips. People loved using them for rings or keys. One woman bought 6 at once. These match the vibe of my Blue Odyssey collection too—cool tones, ocean shimmer.

6. Mini Resin Picture Frames

I found 2-inch mini frame molds and filled them with floral swirls, then added magnets to the back. They became popular as fridge gifts. The floral ones did best—especially sunflowers and wildflowers.

7. Resin Earrings (Simple Drops)

I didn’t get fancy—just clear resin, foil, and a bit of shimmer. Lightweight and colorful. Paired with gold earring hardware, these sold steadily. People liked that they were handmade but still “clean-looking.”

8. Jewelry Trays with Gold Foil

I used oval and hexagon molds and poured smoky black resin with gold leaf. People loved these for nightstands and vanities. They paired well with earthy or glam home decor, like what you'd find near a Sunlit Forest Console Table.

9. Alphabet Letter Magnets

These started as a kid-friendly idea but ended up a crowd-pleaser for teachers and parents. I attached tiny magnets to the back of resin letters and used bright colors and glitter. Sold great in bundles.

10. Resin Hair Clips

Super trendy and surprisingly profitable. I bought clip blanks and attached domed resin pieces with flowers and pigment. Kept materials simple and sold them in 2-packs. Total hit at local markets.

11. Ocean-Inspired Coasters

I created little versions of my ocean resin tables—clear blues, white wave swirls, and a few shell fragments. Bundled in sets of 4 with jute twine. Etsy favorite.

12. Resin Rings with Embedded Flowers

These took practice, but once I figured out sizing and mold release, they were addictive to make. I used baby’s breath and tiny fern snippets. Great for pop-ups and handmade gift fairs.

13. Resin Beads (For DIY Makers)

I sold these in small lots on Etsy. Makers love to buy resin beads in batches. I used flower petals, glitter, and pigment. Took some time to perfect, but totally worth it once you get the technique.

14. Holiday Ornaments

Each year I sell clear sphere ornaments filled with foil, names, or dried petals. Themed ones (like cardinals for lost loved ones) always move well—especially near holidays. Like a tiny version of our Northern Cardinal collection.

15. Resin Letters with Birthstones

Customers love personal touches. I added tiny birthstone-colored flakes into the initial molds. These made great keychains and gifts—especially when paired with a handwritten note or ribbon wrap.
