There’s just something magical about boho style, isn’t there? It’s free-spirited but chic, earthy yet sophisticated, and somehow manages to make even the simplest space feel warm, cozy, and inviting. Walk into a room with a macramé wall hanging, a couple of plants in woven baskets, and maybe a tasseled throw pillow — suddenly it feels like a Pinterest board come to life.
Here’s the best part: people love buying boho-inspired decor, and you don’t need a degree in fine arts to make it. With a few supplies, some creativity, and a touch of patience, you can create stunning boho crafts that are not only fun to make but also sell like crazy.

Each one is beginner-friendly, affordable, and trendy — meaning you’ll be able to create pieces that look like boutique finds but cost just a fraction of the price to make.
Let’s dive into the ideas (and who knows — maybe your first boho creation will end up being someone’s favorite new home accessory!).
1. Macramé Wall Hangings
Nothing screams “boho chic” quite like a macramé wall hanging. They’re timeless, endlessly customizable, and always in demand.
What You’ll Need
- Macramé cotton cord (4–6 mm thickness is best)
- A wooden dowel, driftwood, or copper pipe for hanging
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Comb or brush for fringing
How to Do It
- Cut your cord into equal lengths and fold them in half.
- Attach each strand to your dowel with a lark’s head knot.
- Use simple knots (square knots, spiral knots, half hitch) to build your design.
- Alternate patterns for texture and balance.
- Finish by trimming the ends into a clean fringe.
Pro Tip: Stick with neutral tones like ivory or beige to appeal to most buyers, but offer custom color accents (mustard, sage green, dusty pink) for weddings or modern boho homes.
2. Boho Beaded Jewelry
Handmade jewelry is always a hit because it’s personal, lightweight, and giftable. And when you use earthy, boho-inspired materials, you’ve got a winning combo.
What You’ll Need
- Natural gemstone beads, wooden beads, or clay beads
- Elastic cord or jewelry wire
- Clasps, earring hooks, and jump rings
- Jewelry pliers and cutters
How to Do It
- Choose your piece (necklace, bracelet, or earrings).
- String your beads in a pattern — think earthy tones, asymmetry, and layered textures.
- Secure with knots (for elastic) or crimps (for wire).
- Add findings (clasps, hooks) to complete.
Pro Tip: Bundle bracelets or make jewelry sets (necklace + earrings) for a higher perceived value — people love “ready-to-gift” sets.
3. Painted Terracotta Pots
Boho decor is all about plants, and painted terracotta pots are an easy sell. They’re affordable, practical, and highly customizable.
What You’ll Need
- Plain terracotta pots
- Acrylic paint or chalk paint
- Brushes and sponges
- Painter’s tape (for crisp lines)
- Sealant spray
How to Do It
- Wash and dry your pots.
- Apply painter’s tape for stripes or geometric sections.
- Paint with earthy tones, patterns, or mandala designs.
- Let dry completely and finish with a sealant.
Pro Tip: Offer sets of 3–5 pots in complementary designs. Bundles not only sell better but also justify a higher price.
4. Boho Dreamcatchers
Dreamcatchers are a staple in boho decor — and they’re surprisingly easy to make.
What You’ll Need
- Metal or wooden hoops
- Suede cord, yarn, or twine
- Beads, feathers, and charms
- Needle and thread
How to Do It
- Wrap your hoop with suede cord for a neat finish.
- Create the “web” inside using thread or yarn, knotting as you go.
- Add beads to the web for extra flair.
- Tie feathers, tassels, or charms to the bottom.
Pro Tip: Mini dreamcatchers make perfect car charms or keychains — smaller sizes sell quickly at craft fairs.
5. Woven Wall Baskets
These instantly elevate a blank wall and are a boho favorite.
What You’ll Need
- Flat woven baskets (you can upcycle thrifted ones)
- Yarn, raffia, or macramé cord
- Hot glue gun
How to Do It
- Arrange your baskets in a cluster for a “gallery wall” effect.
- Add texture by weaving yarn or raffia into the basket’s design.
- Secure with glue where needed.
- Hang with simple wall hooks.
Pro Tip: Offer pre-arranged wall sets with 3–5 baskets. Customers love buying “curated looks” without the guesswork.
6. Macramé Plant Hangers
Perfect for small apartments or plant lovers, these are cheap to make and sell very well.
What You’ll Need
- Macramé cord (5–7 mm thickness)
- Metal or wooden ring for hanging
- Scissors
- Beads (optional for accents)
How to Do It
- Attach cords to your ring with a lark’s head knot.
- Divide cords into groups and knot them to create the hanger.
- Knot again near the bottom to form a cradle for the pot.
- Trim ends for a tassel finish.
Pro Tip: Pair your hanger with a painted terracotta pot (from craft #3) to upsell a complete “plant package.”
7. Boho Soy Candles
Handmade candles are trending — especially eco-friendly soy candles decorated with dried flowers or herbs.
What You’ll Need
- Soy wax flakes
- Candle wicks
- Glass jars or tins
- Essential oils (lavender, sandalwood, patchouli work well)
- Dried flowers or herbs
How to Do It
- Melt soy wax in a double boiler.
- Add essential oils for fragrance.
- Place your wick in the jar and pour in the wax.
- Top with dried flowers or herbs before the wax fully sets.
Pro Tip: Label them with earthy, minimalist branding — packaging sells candles just as much as scent.
8. Fabric or Yarn Wall Tapestries
Tapestries are bold, affordable to make, and a huge boho seller.
What You’ll Need
- Canvas fabric or thick yarn

- Wooden dowel
- Hot glue gun
How to Do It

Pro Tip: Offer customizable color palettes so buyers can match tapestries to their home decor.
9. Embroidered Boho Pillow Covers
Throw pillows are the easiest way to add a boho vibe to any room — and embroidered versions feel luxurious.
What You’ll Need
- Plain pillow covers (cotton or linen)
- Embroidery thread and needles
- Hoop for stretching fabric
- Pencil for sketching designs
How to Do It
- Sketch your boho-inspired pattern (sunbursts, feathers, abstract lines).
- Secure the fabric in your hoop.
- Stitch your design using basic embroidery stitches.
- Pop the cover on a pillow insert.
Pro Tip: Stick to neutral covers with colorful embroidery accents — they’ll fit more decor styles, meaning more buyers.
10. Clay Trinket Dishes
Small clay dishes are perfect for jewelry, keys, or as decor.
What You’ll Need
- Air-dry clay
- Rolling pin
- Bowl (for shaping)
- Acrylic paint
- Sealant spray
How to Do It
- Roll out your clay evenly.
- Press into a small bowl to shape.

Pro Tip: Gold-painted rims make your dishes look luxe — and buyers are willing to pay extra for “high-end” finishes.
Final Thoughts
Boho crafts aren’t just beautiful — they’re smart business. With a little creativity, you can turn affordable supplies into products that people are excited to buy for their homes, as gifts, or even for events like weddings.
Start small, experiment with a few of these projects, and see what resonates with buyers. And remember: packaging and presentation matter just as much as the craft itself. A little effort in branding can make your handmade items feel like boutique treasures.
So, grab your cord, beads, clay, or fabric — and start crafting your way into the boho business world toda
