5. Pressed Leaf & Resin Wooden Coasters
Functional homeware sells reliably because customers see it as practical art. Real fallen autumn leaves preserved under clear, crystal-grade epoxy resin capture the essence of the season permanently.
- Materials: Natural wood slices (birch or acacia), pressed fall foliage (Japanese maple, ginkgo, oak), clear casting epoxy resin, and silicone edge molds.
- Production Tip: Press vibrant autumn leaves in advance using heavy books or a microwave plant press to preserve their red and gold tones before embedding them in resin.
- Profit Potential: Moderate to High. Sell them tied in sets of four with a simple strip of leather cord.
