Mason jar crafts!

There are so many things you can make out of mason jars, giving you plenty of product ideas you can make and sell.

From candles to gifts to home storage ideas, there’s no limit to what you can make out of mason jars and sell to make some extra cash from home.

To help you get started with selling mason jar crafts, I’ll go over the most popular platforms to sell your crafts, mason jar craft ideas, and other moms that are selling mason jar crafts!

How to Make and Sell Your Mason Jar Crafts

While turning mason jars into beautiful crafts may come easily to you, selling them may prove to be challenging.

Luckily, there are many ways you can try out to sell your crafts online and make some easy money!

Here are some ways you can sell your mason jar crafts:

Sell Mason Jar Crafts on Etsy

Etsy is a website that allows users to sell handmade items and offers personal storefronts for sellers to list their goods.

Creating the storefront is free but you do have to pay $0.20 per listing and Etsy claims 5% of the final sale price – these fees are billed to you once a month.

However, by the end of 2018, Etsy connected 2.1 million sellers with 39.4 million buyers.

It is a popular platform for both those who sell handmade items and those who seek them.

To set up an Etsy shop, you just need to visit the site and register for an account.

From there, you can customize your shop by choosing a shop name, shop banner and specifying how you prefer to take payments.

Once you add some items and set up your billing information, you are ready to open your shop!

Set Up an Online Store on Your Blog

Instead of using online marketplace services to sell your crafts, you can also set up your own online shop through your personal website or blog.

You will need a self-hosted plan for your blog as opposed to a free blogging platform. Unfortunately, you can’t run a business on a free blog.

Once you have set up your self-hosted blog, you can use a free WordPress plugin called WooCommerce to sell your mason jar crafts online.

Listing and selling your crafts is an easy process – simply follow the plugin’s installation wizard. It will walk you through adding your product image, giving a description and entering your price.

By far, the best option is to have a blog with a shop page. Many moms who sell crafts online have a shop page on their blog as well as an Etsy shop.

Make sure to take my totally free course to start your own blog for selling mason jar crafts!

Create an Artisan Profile on Amazon Handmade

Amazon offers the “Handmade Store,” which offers an opportunity to sell handcrafted products to the millions of Amazon customers who use their service.

They use an application process to add new Artisans to the Handmade category. These applications are reviewed by a member of their team before being accepted (it can take about 4-6 weeks to hear back from them).

Amazon’s fees are a bit higher than Etsy’s. They charge a 15% commission and $1 referral fee on items sold.

So why would you pay more to sell with Amazon Handmade?

Besides their wide reach to a larger customer base, Amazon offers a service called “Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)” which provides storage, packaging and shipping assistance to sellers.

To sell on Amazon Handmade, you have to fill out an application form with your details as well as examples of your handmade products.

It may take a while to hear back from them but, if you are, you will receive an invitation to join Amazon Handmade along with further instructions.

Look for Local Marketplaces

You don’t even need to sell your mason jar crafts online! You can also consider selling them locally.

Facebook Marketplace is a popular place for people to buy and sell local products. Many people go to Facebook Marketplace in order to purchase local and handmade products.

Okay, so Facebook Marketplace is still an online entity, but the exchange of product and money is done face-to-face.

Using Facebook also gives you an opportunity to share your products on your profile (and hopefully other people share it to theirs).

It’s kind of the best of both worlds – you benefit from the reach of an online platform yet you get to meet your customers in the real world.

Another option is to look into local craft fairs.

Many schools and community centers use these events for fundraising – especially around Christmastime.

Lastly, most communities also have local farmer’s markets during the spring and summer months.

These events are a go-to for those seeking local and handmade products.

Privacy and Disclosure

With any business online – on your blog, website or on your Etsy page – you need to be legal.

You can do this easily with having a privacy and disclosure documents or pages on your blog or marketplace page.

There are many free generators online that can create a privacy and disclosure page, but these aren’t considered legal.

To be safe, I strongly encourage you to use professional legal templates for selling your mason jars online.

Finding Mason Jars for Cheap

Many containment stores will sell a flat of mason jars during the fall for jam and pickling season.

So keep your eye out around town for these deals.
