25 Product Ideas for Your Craft Show Booth

25 Product Ideas for Your Craft Show Booth

Garrett VanHuizen |

When you think about adding “smalls” to your booth — items that are quick to make, affordable, and irresistible for impulse buyers — the xTool F2 Ultra opens up a whole world of options.

Here are 5 categories of products you can add to your booth, with examples we tested in our video:

1. Jewelry

Every craft show has multiple jewelry vendors, but a laser lets you personalize jewelry on the spot. Think:

  • Necklaces and pendants

  • Bracelets, rings, and earrings

  • Watches and cufflinks

💡 In our test, we engraved a necklace pendant in just 4 seconds with a hashtag design. Fast, affordable, and emotional purchases like this are perfect for impulse buys.

2. Accessories

Accessories are quick-grab items customers love. Some ideas include:

  • Keychains (metal, acrylic, wood)

  • Pet tags

  • Watch bands and hair clips

  • Luggage tags and license plates

  • Croc charms (yes, people love them!)

💡 We engraved a stainless keychain with the phrase “Tell your cat I said hi” — a funny, fast project that fits perfectly in any booth.

3. Hat Bar

Hat bars are trending at craft shows, and the xTool F2 Ultra makes it easy to add custom flair. Think:

  • Leather hat patches

  • Acrylic patches with two-tone engraving

  • Hat clips

💡 We engraved a leather hat patch in 15 seconds, then pressed it onto a cap for a finished product in under a minute. Upsell city!

4. Gift Items

Giftables are always hot sellers at craft shows. With the xTool F2 Ultra, you can add personalization to:

  • Cutting boards

  • Charcuterie sets

  • Wooden trays and utensils

  • Bookmarks

  • Stainless steel switch plate covers (yes, really!)

💡 Our favorite? Plant stakes — personalized with fun sayings or names. They’re colorful, quick, and perfect for plant lovers.

5. Home Décor

And of course, home décor items like mini signs, wall art, coasters, and personalized rounds always sell.

💡 We cut and engraved a last name sign on a 10-inch birch round in just a few minutes. With personalization options, this kind of product can be a big draw at your booth.

How Long Do These Projects Take?

One of the biggest concerns for craft show vendors is time — how long will a customer have to wait? With the xTool F2 Ultra, most of our demo projects took just seconds to a few minutes:

  • Jewelry pendant: 4 seconds

  • Keychain: under 30 seconds

  • Hat patch: 15 seconds + heat press

  • Plant stake: under 2 minutes

  • Wood sign: about 5 minutes

This speed means you can keep your booth line moving while still offering meaningful, personalized products.

Craft Show Setup with the xTool F2 Ultra

We ran this entire booth test off a Jackery portable power station, showing that you don’t need to be tied to an outlet. The xTool F2 Ultra and a laptop ran seamlessly outdoors.

Our setup:

  • One 4-foot booth table

  • The xTool F2 Ultra

  • Laptop with xTool Studio software

  • Small accessories and blanks ready to engrave

  • Jackery power supply for portability

This setup proves you can take a laser booth almost anywhere — indoors, outdoors, even off-grid.

Final Thoughts: Should You Add a Laser to Your Booth?

If you’re looking for ways to increase sales at craft shows, adding live personalization is a game changer. The xTool F2 Ultra is compact, versatile, and fast enough to let you sell everything from $10 keychains to $50 custom signs.
