Thanks Hannah.
Thank you! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your list!!
It looks fantastic... it must have taken such a long time to do this - thanks again 😊😊😊🎉
Thank you! ❤
Good job! And I just mentioned - to go with pencil cases - make up bags.
I've thought about making a digital "Artist Calendar" that artists can use to plan submissions to upcoming shows, application deadlines, merch drops or track progress on a current project. I think having stickers with labels or little icons as visual reminders would be cute and useful if people want to print it out.
tbh sounds like a pretty solid idea! i like it!
I like it too!
I love this idea!!
I love this idea and would totally use something like that!
Pls make something like that!
I love buying postcards from other artists because I basically treat them like affordable mini prints. This is especially nice at a festival where I can't afford to buy larger prints but want something from the artists I like. Postcard "mini prints" also allow me to hang more art on my walls without running out of space.
Love post card size art🎉 I put them around my mirror.
I do the same, yes! I totally agree. :)
I do that too ❤
I was so confused when she said postcards were out of date. I love them! They're the perfect sized print, I put them on my wall, in my scrapbook, just to *look* 👁👁
I have bought like 50 postcards in my life ever since I was a kid (I have so many cheetah postcards its insane). And I have used them as actual postcards 3 times in my life and I got those ones specifically as presents for family, no need to attach a birthday card, the card is also the gift. No wrapping needed either.
I just had an idea while watching this video - HAND PAINTED RUBIK'S CUBES! You could paint a picture or illustration in any style for each of the faces by keeping them monochrome for each face. I think it would look so cool and I can't wait to try it myself when I have the time!
I’ve been dealing with my problems for 30 years and now I’m surrounded by good people who are encouraging me to make myself known by sharing art and selling things.
The last thing that held me back was that I had no idea what to do after the “make art” part and I am so thankful that you exist to share these advice with newbies like me ❤❤❤
I’d also love to see some cool cases for glasses or those cleaning cloths for glasses. Usually they’re so bland and uninspiring. Also a pretty laundry bag would be nice. Suitcase tags. Lunchboxes. Colourful window stickers.
As an artist I’m taking notes lol I agree though only ever had black rags for cleaning my glasses same w cases too, time for some more pizazz
I've always had colorful cleaning clothes with cute art for glasses growing up. Didn't know it's not really a thing everywhere else.
Gotta love a creator who passes on knowledge. You get a sub for that alone. I figured prints and designs on things is the best way to go. Ppl love cute little things or cool mugs etc
I personally am starting to sell scans of my sketchbook when I release sketchbook tour videos!! That would be something I would recommend people to try, so that way those who want to see everything up close can!! ^^ I also charge a pay what you want option with a minimum of $5, so if someone wants to pay more they definitely can! Just something to look into!
I'm so amazed at artists who are also business - minded ❤. The only cashflow I have for my art is out of my wallet - buying art materials 😂
Another idea is deck boxes! Magic (the gathering) cards are usually double-sleeved and taken extremely well care of, so people will spend a ton of money on deck boxes to either protect the cards (as a baseline) or to match the deck's theme. A lot on Etsy are 3D-printed that I've seen but I've also seen people do deckboxes sculpted like a hobbit house, a mushroom, or even painted with designs on top (or with details glued on boxes). Just another suggestion!
Add to that card sleeves. You could even bundle deck boxes with matching sleeves.
One thing that I really love about the online small business community is just how HELPFUL everyone is. It is so foreign to me as someone who has worked in retail and is trying to start my own business selling my art before retail makes me insane. I cannot believe just how much information people willingly and freely give actually HOPING that your shop does well and you are successful. In retail everything is cut throat, every man for himself. There's no positivity. Meanwhile I start researching how to starts my own arts and crafts business and I find that people are so warm and welcoming and will literally give ideas for free without a thought in the world that they're giving ideas to competition. It's so nice. It's so anti-capitalist, which is wild considering creating your own business is very much so part of the capitalist ideal. It's beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much for this video and your positivity.
I love art print silk scarves. They are usually way cheaper than something high-end like a Gucci scarf but way more unique and still luxurious. I wish more artists did these. I use them for hair scarves and it makes me feel like a queen. FYI, matte or low sheen silk looks more chic than satin which can look fake/cheap.
I'm a writer and I find zines to be the absolute perfect product! I'm working on my first one, it's actually gonna come out in a few days. I like to print them at home and I do all the shipping and packaging myself because that allows me for maximum freedom (compared to amazon KDP for example, which doesn't allow images from the internet... i wanna put memes in my zines damnit!). For my fellow artists who are learning how to draw I think this would be a great ideas, I love zines and I want to see more of them!
oooh yes i don’t know how i forgot about zines, they’re great!
I've just had an idea and had to come to youtube specifically to drop it into the world.
Hot water bottle bags.
There are so many hot water bottles covers that collect bits and are not easily removed for cleaning.
A soft drawstring bag could save so much time.
I need this.
I like to use rocks as garden markers. I paint and label them with acrylic paint and then nestle them at the base of my plants. It's a fun way to add little pops of complementary color to your garden.
I do that too!
I had the idea the other day of offering printed cloth book covers or book bags. I don't know about anyone else, but paperback books don't survive long riding around in my bag. I've had to replace borrowed books a couple of times bcs my bag just shreds them. A nice cloth bag with a flap closure and maybe a bit of velcro would be great for that.
This is a great idea!!!
Bringing back memories...As kids we use to cover are school books in fabric
I make and sell dice on Etsy and I would warn everyone there is a long learning curve for making quality handmade dice but it’s very rewarding. Though not super viable financially
"I dog-ear the pages-"
Shun the non-bookmarker! SHUUUUNNN!!!!
Especially if your target demographic is younger ppl (say, college students,) I can't overstate the usefulness of postcard-sized prints. I was selling postcard size prints for pretty cheap recently at a charity art sale we held at my college, and I was one of the biggest sellers because of those small prints. For people with not a lot of disposable income, smaller prints can be a great way to buy art affordably.
This is a really good list to find. I know this is a prompt for me to start looking into a few of the options that interest me, though I feel a lot of fear with not knowing how to do much of any of these without print on demand except for the ones said to go to thrift stores or make a mold with silicone or resin. So hopefully I'll find something to teach me some more of this in this week
I'm so glad your video popped up in my recommended! I've been wanting to open a shop for a bit, but had no idea what to do with my art other than prints and stickers. These are all such creative ideas I would have never thought of, thanks so much for sharing!
This is the energy I needed this morning. Ty as always, Kelsey!!
Another great video. I’m stoked to learn about the opportunities with the sponsor of this video as well. That looks to be an awesome company! By the way, I appreciate that you tend to partner with companies whose vision for for they operate and what they offer is almost always somewhat relevant to my own goals (such as transitioning to natural fibers for my wardrobe and household linens). Cheers, Kelsey!
This is the first time EVER that I have been excited about a "Sponsor ad break" within a video......... WEAVE ON DEMAND??!!!??!!!??!!!??!! .....OMG!YES!THANK YOU!
Oh and Kelsey.. high-five for all the great ideas.. I feel sort of stupid for only thinking of about... 3 of them myself....
Just what I needed, this came out right as I'm preparing for my 2nd ever art market😊
I would also add Notebooks / sticky notes / writing pads. :) Great summery anyway!
Yay! Just what I needed this morning ❤ Thank you Kelseyyyyyyy
You missed Jigsaw puzzles
Omg I always wanted one of these videos. I'm gonna watch it now. Thankyou Kelsey ♡
Loved to see more multimedia ideas. I crochet so I try to convert your advice to work for me but it's hard sometimes.
Giclée prints are a must for artists. The colors are night and day and is so well replicated to the original artwork (with a good scanned image) and it looks more premium than a standard print. Like she said, hand embellishing is an option, but you can also sign your print for a nice personal touch. If that’s too much work for you, just add a digital signature so it can be printed on paper. Nonetheless, I highly recommend getting high resolution scans of your artwork before considering any reproductions. If the digital file isn’t high quality in the first place, you shouldn’t expect your prints to look great.
What file size and resolution would you consider a good quality scan?
@@sofiaspeakman8086 the file size can vary depending on the image size, but typically 300dpi is the image resolution you should aim for. 250 dpi minimum. As long as the image is 300dpi at the desired print size, the details will be crisp
@@genkeasy thank you!
Thank you so much for creating and sharing your insightful video on business side of being an artist and avoiding the struggles of financial strain. Your valuable tips and guidance are sincerely appreciated. Wishing you a truly wonderful day ahead.
This is super helpful video. I really loved all the 46 ideas. Especially the socks and playing cards pack! Would love more of the ideas! ❤
I'm a person who has in the previous years made a shop selling my art in the form of stickers. This helped me a lot to make more products than stickers.
okay also YOUR SKIN IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND GLOWING - Like I cant get over the goddess atmosphere
aww thank you!! if you're looking for skincare recs I highly recommend the oat moisturizer and barrier repair cream from krave!
you are my new favorite channel!
What a wonderful video!! I'd really love to see how some of my work would look on those lovely blankets. Thank you, and I love what you said about wanting everything made by artists. I agree!
aren’t they so gorgeous?? thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you liked this one! 💗
there really are so many items as an artist that you could design and make your own ❤❤
My first time seeing u but I'm telling you I'm so proud of you 💗. You are now my icon girlie!!
Thank you for this video! Super helpful and refreshing! ❤
Please note that if you create epoxy/resin items, please use the proper safety equipment in a well ventilated area! Your health is at risk there.
Thank you for sharing!!! ❤ I really needed this video 🥰🥰
Hi Kelsey! Happened upon this video and am a new artist. I’m thinking about selling my art if I think it’s good enough. I used to do drawings in my teen years but stopped because I was busy working and raising a family. Now that I’m retired, I have picked up drawing and painting again. I love it! It’s so relaxing! Anyhow, love your ideas and decided to subscribe to your channel. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and artwork in the future!
Really random but this is getting me excited for when I start art/design school in two months!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all these ideas! I’d love to be a full time artist one day so they are so useful ☺️
Hello Kelsey and everyone! :)
I'm a new watcher of your channel and actually a UX/UI designer, not an illustrator or artist (even though I like to doodle things here and there and want to learn art more). Your content popped-up at the right time as I'm considering to offer some digital products next year haha
Actually, quite a lot of your product ideas align even with web design, especially those in your previous video with 25+ digital product list :))
Thank you very much for sharing your ideas and wishing you all the best! ❤❤❤
Sending beautiful birthday and holiday cards from independent artists/designers is one of the nice things in life. It can be a nice experience for both giver and receiver. Just saying as a consumer.
✨Thank you so much for this video! My brain pumping with creativity spins on some of these ideas✨
These ideas are great Kelsey! Some of them didn’t even cross my mind
Thank you! This is my first time watching you and appreciate this! Subscribed!
What a fantastic video Kelsey! ❤
I got a lot of really great ideas from this video! Thank you for making it!
thanks for posting this! your material makes me hopeful for my future.. like i can actually earn money from my work someday. keep these flowing and i will be here to soak it up like a sponge
This was a great list, Kesley. My gears are turning now 🤓Thank you!
Súper great ideas! Been trying to brainstorm what to do as gifts.
Gracias! And Feliz Navidad!
I got so many great ideas from this! Thank you so much!
Whaaoooo fiber art def looks cool. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing ideas. Love the idea of colourful socks too.
your vibe is amazing
Thank you for this lovely video Kelsey! 🤗
Ooo!! I’m planing on doing a December art faire and these are perfect!
Those are so many good ideas! Thank you for video
This is excellent !! Thank you Kelsey!
Socks not sounding like a real word after saying it so much is relatable af lol
I'm a sculptor and usually see so many product ideas for 2D artists. Today I was able to envision some of these products working for me! Would love ideas geared specifically for sculptors as well!
Same here.
I'm always so excited to see a fellow artist on CZcams who is authentic and who seems genuinely lovely! One day when I have more art projects on my channel - I'd love to collaborate with you on something cute. So glad I found your channel.
RE: bookmarks.
I don't care for bookmarks. I see them as one step away from dog-earing. That being said, i hit the subscribe button right there b/c lol.
Anyway~ i use post-its b/c i can jump right back in to exactly where i stopped, AND they're paper-thin, AND they don't get jammed down into the spine causing breaks in the binding.
So for project ideas, Post-its. You could also turn the #13 Stationary design into a post-it.
cool, I love getting stuff printed and made. some stuffI never thought of in there (keyboard keys etc.) could be fun, cheers
Loved this😊 Thanks so much❤
amazing video!❤ Thank you so much!
First time I see one of your videos and I love it! Thank you 🙏💖🥰
This was such a great video--thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for sharing these ideas!
Hey, those are some nice ideas. I'm already thinking about how i am going to turn them into something really cool to sell. I specially like the idea of postcards and calendars. I saw a calendar made by an artist i like just one of these days and it was the cutest thing ever.
I found your shop page on Etsy !!! I love your stickers and thank you for the info on the ideas we can make 😊
This video is so inspiring!!! Thank you!!!
This is random and you probably don't care, but I couldn't ignore it. Between seconds 15:14 and 15:15 an adorable hummingbird flew into the frame. I tried to catch it on pause but it is too fast. It looked like it was in the house. So fun! lol
oh yeah there are a few that hang around the backyard! nice catch!
Thanks, this was super helpful!!
Great video! It's worth listening to it. Thank you
I enjoyed this video and will probably figure some things out of this but I need to add my 2 cents as a self employed artist myself after 10+ years being active. MOST of the things you mentionned I tried and it didn't work. I didn't sold much or nothing, they have CRAZY first costs if you want quality and none of those products will ever make a sustainable income if you A/Don't have the following B/Don't have the right design for it or your audience doesn't like those products and C/Don't have engagement because all the algorythms are blocking your posts
Yes I'm bitter and I'm talking about personnal experience, I tried to improve, upgrade, develop my offer as an artist but a lot of my attempts didn't work and over the last months my engagement just went lower and lower and nobody sees my content. A great product is NOTHING if nobody sees it or wants it or if the art isn't good enough or popular enough or fitting with trends.
Most of the suggested items are very pricey to produce and hard to stock if you have multiple designs. I feel like digital content might be slightly better and easier to implement but I'm just not on board trying new physical products that will eventually never be seen or bought. I like creating, I'm making new artworks with the intention to seel an artbook and originals but I don't have much more to invest in terms of actual products costs, it's rather impossible atm.
How you would do things ? if you have any tips for me ? thanks
Congratulations Kelsey on 200k!!!
thank youuuuu 💗💗
Those are really great ideas for starting art merch! Altough you can also sell custom pajamas and cap, I have found amazing artists who have made these merch and they look really amazing
As they would be use for comfort and fashionable stuff
loved this! Wonderful video FULL of amazing ideas
Adding - tarot decks may be more ambitious esp cuz they require specific symbolism or obvious visuals to determine the card they are however for those of us more free flowing with our art and intuitive expression - oracle cards differ from tarot in the way that they do NOT require a specific structural set up - make what you want, as many as you want, find your interpretation to them and your guidebook maybe a some spread suggestions then you have your deck and book to release
OVEN MITTS & POT HOLDERS 🥳 MATCHING Apron too!
Awesome Ideas 💜
Thank you for this video great ideas ❤😊 im practicing sewing dolls at the Moment is fun 😄☺️
i’ve been watching you for a while and i didn’t know you were from alabama! i am too!! so cool to see you becoming more successful, i hope i can achieve everything you have one day!
I went to high school there and have lots of family there! I really struggle to confidently say I am "from" somewhere just bc I moved around quite a bit, but yeah! I have a lot of friends still in AL and try to visit every so often, lots of great people there
This video is very informative Thank you very much for sharing this !
Great ideas here. I especially love the Fiber Art website. I'm planning to seriously look into them, thank you!
I LOVED this video!! Even the sponsor was actually a cool addition!! 10/10 content💛💛💛💛
Taking notes!!✏️
thank you so much !
Girl, do you have a PO Box or something so I can send you a bookmark so you stop committing crimes? I'm glad you listed bookmarks, because I always do quick handpainted ones and I ALWAYS sell out of them when I list them. I'm about to make some block print ones for the holidays.
no PO Box yet! I'll put it down in the description when I get one lol
Cool list, in addition to POD providers an artist can make a whole store from just their work after just a couple years.
Japan has a huge sock market.. very popular. Thank you for your great work kelsey..ypu are my go to for art marketing advice
Do you have any recommendations for sites that print designs on washi tape? I’ve looked around a lot and not sure who to trust :/
Thank you Kelsey for all this valuable information. I'm familiar with major print on demand platforms but I wouldn't know where to have washi tape, Note pads, notebooks (and a lot of the items mentioned in your video) printed for me. Any tips?
You could try local or online print shops. Some of them offer a wide range of products printed with your own designs. If they provide an express service and/or will produce small quantities you could use them for print on demand, or just buy small quantities of inventory for a cheaper price if you're not going to customise every single item.
Thank you!!🎉
