I Found the Most Profitable Laser Engraved Products for Etsy
About this video
Jahraus shows how she sources laser-engraving blanks from XTool and Hobby Lobby, saying she spent about $55 at Hobby Lobby and believes the items could be listed for over $2,800. Examples with her stated costs and target prices include: a dough bowl at $8.99 on 40% off to sell for $39.99 as a wedding/housewarming gift, spatulas around $3.50 to sell as a $22-$24.99 set, wavy wood sticks at $2.69 for 24 (11 cents each) turned into bookmarks, a swan nursery piece at $9.60 plus acrylic to sell for $69.99 with a baby name, crosses at 12 for $2.99 (25 cents each) to sell finished for $12.99 as Easter tags or ornaments, a $12.99 puzzle to sell for at least $79.99, XTool notebooks at $9.99 to sell for $29.99, and a $7 dog collar to sell for $19.99-$24.99. She then engraves most items on an XTool P3, repeatedly doubling or tripling recommended power for contrast. Lessons include: avoid engraving a full photo onto a puzzle (her version took 1 hour 10 minutes with low contrast; use a line-drawing vector instead), use solid acrylic pieces rather than thin individual letters, whose glue ripped paint off the swan piece, and test acrylic sample colors before buying large sheets.
Key takeaways
- Buy functional blanks on sale at Hobby Lobby and from XTool, personalize them, and only make more as they sell
- Price personalized versions far above blank cost, e.g. an $8.99 dough bowl listed at $39.99 and a $9.60 swan piece at $69.99
- Target gift occasions: weddings, bridal showers, housewarmings, nurseries, Easter and class gifts
- Increase laser power well above the preset for many materials to get readable contrast, and test settings first
- For puzzle engraving use high-contrast line art, not a detailed photo, to avoid very long, low-contrast jobs
