I didn't expect it will be so big! 😂😂

My husband is a huge Hollow Knight fan.

I made the smallest Knight ever for his keychain...Hornet is almost finished...The Flea will be next 😆

At this point I will crochet mini characters of the entire game 🤪

Helloooo

I need ideas 🤣🤪

​

I produce and sell gaming Amigirumi only. It means characters from Hollow Knight, Final Fantasy, Stardew Valley, path of exile and so on....

​

I have these yarns and I don't have any ideas of what to do with those colours!

They're like bright peach and bright orange (both very fluorescent)

Can someone help me?

My husband is a gamer and a streamer and I share his passion too!

So I've started to produce for him some characters about games to put behind his back during his non stop stream 😍

Users saw them and they show high interest, so why not to sell them? 😆

​

Here some reproductions I've stated to sell on my new Etsy shop!

​

I'm gonna finish other characters by this week related to final fantasy, hollow Knight, path of exhile and more 💥

Hi everyone,

​

I'm looking for some honest advice from people who sell amigurumi or crochet creations.

​

A few months ago I started making small amigurumi and keychains inspired by the games I love: Final Fantasy, Path of Exile, Hollow Knight, Palia, Stardew Valley and similar fandoms.

​

I was incredibly excited when I made my very first sale from Italy to the USA. What made it even more special is that the customer found me through Reddit, not Etsy.

​

The problem is that Etsy is bringing me almost no traffic. I'm starting to wonder if what I enjoy creating is simply too niche. Most of my projects are small amigurumi and gaming-related keychains rather than the larger, more popular crochet items.

​

Honestly, I'm getting close to giving up. I've invested a lot in yarn, safety eyes and materials, and I don't really know how to recover those costs. Where I live there are no crochet markets, craft fairs are uncommon, and handmade crochet isn't particularly appreciated.

​

For those of you who have been in a similar situation:

​

Did Etsy eventually start working for you?

​

How did you find your first regular customers?

​

Is it better to focus on social media, conventions, Reddit, local events, or something else?

​

Are gaming-themed amigurumi simply too small a niche?

​

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback, even if the answer is "change direction."

​

Thanks for reading.

It was last Xmas, my husband gift me a crochet kit...then it started my addiction 😂

Lol am I the only one who finishes a fanart and then spends an hour taking photos of it from every possible angle? 😂😂 I'm so in love 😂😂😂

Ho deciso di lavorare all'uncinetto dei portachiavi per mio marito, che è un fan sfegatato di FF 🎮🔝 In case DM me kupo!

Helloooo

I'm printing some adhesive tags for the mystery boxes.

What do you think? Do you think people could be more attracted to the product?

Thank you for your help!

Ciao a tutti 😊

Ho iniziato da poco a creare bambole fantasy all'uncinetto fatte a mano e sto cercando di capire se questo tipo di prodotto sia redditizio su Etsy.

Non ho ancora un pubblico, ma ho ricevuto un feedback sorprendentemente positivo condividendo i miei lavori online, il che mi ha fatto pensare di prendere la cosa più seriamente.

La mia preoccupazione è che questo tipo di prodotto possa essere troppo di nicchia e richiedere troppo tempo per la produzione rispetto alla domanda.

Stavo pensando di offrire: • bambole a grandezza naturale dettagliate

• versioni "mini" più piccole

• eventualmente scatole a sorpresa

Apprezzerei molto un feedback sincero:

• Questo tipo di prodotto è troppo di nicchia per Etsy?

• Le bambole fatte a mano come questa si vendono davvero?

• Ti concentreresti di più su articoli più piccoli/economici o su pezzi più dettagliati?

Grazie mille per qualsiasi informazione 💛

I honestly didn’t expect so many people to appreciate my little crochet elf doll yesterday 🥹

You really gave me a push, and I ended up staying up way too late to finish these too…

a wise old wizard and a certain little creature 👀✨

I’m still working on turning my chaotic handwritten notes into something actually readable 😅

Thank you so much for all the support 💛

I’ve been working on this little Galadriel on and off for a while and I’m honestly really happy with how she turned out 🥹

I’m still trying to improve my skills, especially proportions and hair details…

I'm going to finish also Gandalf and Gollum 😅
