Need Ideas to Extend Your Product Lines? Or Brainstorming on What You Can Make and Sell on Etsy to Start Your Shop? Here’s a list for you!
Etsy sellers, handmade shops, and artists searching for a new product idea often get stuck. I know from personal experience, it can be hard to find that “perfect” product or just an additional product that will go nicely to what you already make. So after much googling and research, I’ve made this handy list just for you guys!
Some of these ideas will be actual products. Some of them may be different artistic mediums. I’m including both because I do think they can both help in the brainstorming phase of product development. You never know where the perfect idea will come from on what the next product you make and sell on Etsy!
