Hi creative friends! If you’ve landed here on this post then you’re our kind of person, a DIYer like ourselves looking for ways to repurpose (and possibly make some money on the side). We hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration with this round up of creative scrap wood projects to make and sell.

How to Know if your Scrap Wood Projects Will Sell?

As owners of three separate Etsy shops, we’re always on the lookout for trending new products to make for our business. We scan Etsy listings that have lots of sales, search for trending products on Pinterest and see what people are responding to on Instagram and Facebook. Think about things that solve a buyer’s problem (ie. help with home organization) or gifts that are needed for special occasions. Have friends and family asked you to make things for them? What types of things have you purchased in the last 6 months and for what purposes? Thinking about these questions can help you determine if there is a market for the scrap wood projects you plan to sell. We have more tips for researching and selling your handmade goods in this post of mason jar crafts to make and sell.

Where to Find Scrap Wood

Let’s start by talking about where to find scrap wood. The obvious answer is to just use wood leftover from other DIY projects you’ve done. This was the case for us when we made this silly bathroom sign and this towel rack from wood pallets used to package a vanity for my cozy, contemporary bathroom makeover. Before discarding any leftover wood scraps or wood pallets, consider how and what else can be made with it. Alternatively, searching your local Facebook marketplace is another great resource for scrap wood. Many people are looking to get rid of scrap wood by either giving it away for free or selling it at a cheap price. In fact, I picked up someone’s leftover plywood to make this DIY cornhole board game last Summer.
