Easy Money with Natural Craft Supplies

You can make easy money by collecting natural craft supplies for free from your own or public land. First of all, it is important to follow the rules for park land and for wildlife or nature conservation areas. Nothing should ever be taken from them.

But, anywhere else is fair game! The natural craft business is huge, and people pay good money for the types of things that can be found in any forest or field. Collecting and selling natural craft supplies can get you some easy money.

Here are several craft supplies that you can sell:

One – Pine Cones and Seed Pods

Collecting fallen pine cones and seed pods is simple, seasonal work. You can sell these things individually for some of the larger, or more unusual specimens, or in groups. Pine cones and seed pods are natural craft supplies used to make floral arrangements, wreaths, and other crafts. You can make easy money by selling them in bulk to crafters.

Two – Dried Vines and Grasses

Crafters who make floral arrangements and wreaths also use these natural craft supplies extensively. With a small amount of effort, you can twist vines and grasses into wreaths yourself, and sell them for even more money. Or you can opt to sell these in bulk for a certain amount of money. A bunch of feathery grasses picked in your back field can get you easy money.

Three – Nuts

With found nuts, it is important to sell them as natural craft supplies and not as edible if you do not know if they are. The later summer and fall is the time to find nuts in profusion: acorns, walnuts, beechnuts, and chestnuts. Some are hidden inside a tough, fleshy coating that will require a drying time or cleaning to become saleable. Acorns are a favorite natural craft supply because they come ready to be used.
You can extend to potential for easy money by selling the nuts in bulk, or decorating them yourself. Acorns painted in a bright array of sparkling holiday colors can be sold quickly as a holiday decoration.

Four – Dried or Pressed Flowers
