Etsy Store Product Ideas: Air Force Theme Products

If you are looking for niche products to sell in your Etsy.com store, many Air Force service members and family members are looking to purchase gifts and items to show off their pride. Here are a few easily created items that your customers will simply adore.

Tee-Shirts

Tee-shirts for family members are a simple and fun way to add Air Force products to your store. You can stick with traditional designs and messages ("Proud Air Force Wife"; "My Son/Daughter Is In The Air Force") or add whimsical or humorous touches. Many print and copy companies can easily have designs and messages on a CD-ROM or disk printed onto the shirts for a minimal cost. Or, consider laser printing the designs on iron transfer paper and creating the shirts yourself.

Infant & Children's Items

Air Force pride extends to even the littlest members of the family! Consider creating onesies, bibs, or children's sized tee-shirts with messages about Mommy/Daddy/Uncle/Aunt/Etc. being in the Air Force. Other great ideas are baby blankets, which can be made from soft cotton fabrics and iron on transfers. Children's items are generally top sellers on Etsy, so these items should work very well!

Coffee Mugs

Coffee mugs are another inexpensive product idea. Lightly transfer an image or design (such as the Air Force Logo) onto a brand new, solid colored coffee mug. Apply a thick coat of Delta Perm Enamel Air Dry Surface Conditioner with a sponge brush. Once this has dried, apply the details with Delta Perm Enamel Air Dry Paint and an artist's paintbrush. Seal according to paint manufacturer directions. Create several designs to sell individually or as a set in your Etsy store.

Household Accessories & Other Items

Photo frames, candles, glasses, dishware... these all make excellent gifts. Just about any household accessory you can customize can be made into an Air Force themed product. Consider designing coasters, placemats, and even floor rugs. Use your imagination to come up with that product that your Etsy buyer cannot live without, and will not see elsewhere.
