10 Spring Crafts to Make and Sell: Repurposed & Handmade Ideas

Inexpensive repurposed crafts to make and sell for spring!

This roundup features a mix of repurposed and upcycled crafts I’ve made to decorate and sell in my antique booth. Spring is one of my favorite seasons to work with found materials, vintage pieces, and simple handmade details.

1. Floral Birdhouses

Put a stack of floral greeting cards to good use by making a few spring birdhouses. This is a repeatable craft for selling. Just buy two or three of the same style birdhouses and create a simple paper template for the front to cut multiples from. Apply them with Mod Podge, then over top for durability.

2. Repurposed Wooden Spindle Carrots

To make these decorative wooden carrots, I used a mix of new spindles purchased online and several salvaged from an old, broken table. They always sell well in my antique booth this time of year. Find the full repurposed wooden spindle carrot tutorial here.

3. Spring Muffin Tin Wreath

This project is an upcycle of an upcycle — I originally painted this tin years ago to display painted Easter eggs. Now that my two boys have outgrown egg painting, I reused it again as a simple spring wreath. To make a similar wall hanging, add a wire-garland wreath, and a ribbon to hang it with. Repurposed kitchenware decor is especially popular in antique booths, and it’s an easy way to use items you may already have on hand.

4. Easter Egg Wreath DIY

Make this beautiful wreath with supplies from Dollar Tree. You’ll find the complete farmhouse egg wreath tutorial here.

5. Dollar Tree Bunny Topiaries

I spotted these moss bunnies and mini clay pots in the same Dollar Tree aisle and knew they’d make sweet little spring topiaries. To make them, you’ll need mini 3-inch flocked bunnies, 3-inch terracotta pots, floral foam, green floral moss, a few sticks from outside, a hot glue gun, and optional chalk paint. Paint the pots with a light whitewash if desired, then fit floral foam inside. Insert a stick into the bunny and secure it into the foam, using hot glue as needed. Finish by covering the foam with moss and adding a bit of leafy garland and tassel ribbon for extra charm.

6. Handmade Bird’s Nest Decoration

Make a handmade bird’s nest and pair it with a thrift store dish or pedestal bowl! I made three to decorate and sell in my antique booth. Find the full decorative bird’s nest tutorial here.

7. Spring Yardstick Magnets

Pick up a few yardsticks to make these adorable magnets. Here, I added Spring miniatures, but you can also sell them as magnetic holders for small succulents or air plants. Find the full ruler box tutorial here.

8. Spring Tart Tin Magnets

On a similar note—tart tin magnets. Using hot glue to glue miniatues, greenery, and add a button magnet to the back.

9. Easy-Sew Stuffed Bunnies

These adorable bunnies are easy to make and a great way to use up scrap fabric. Find the stuffed bunny tutorial and pattern here.

10. Potted Plants

This isn’t a traditional craft, but it’s one of the most reliable spring sellers in an antique booth. Freshly potted succulents and small plants sell especially well in early spring. I either propagate cuttings at home or buy plants in bulk to pair with thrifted or vintage containers.
