Arts & crafts

Hi, I've been making dream catches and tree of life's. I was wondering if you though people who practice magic would buy them?

Well,you don't give your location, but here in England there are Pagan Festivals held annually. There are always workshops, demonstrations, and a hundred or so stalls selling everything from hand crafted goods to ceremonial clothing.
So, yes, you could find a sale for any hand crafted goods. Much more so than commercially made goods.

Here in Australia there is always one or two handmade craft stalls at local markets either weekly, monthly, or even daily(!) depending on where they are. So I'd say there is most likely a market for them wherever you are. )

Even people who don't practice magic seriously will buy them as they are seen to improve positivity in a home and such.

By the way. Some of the most valuable articles in Antique shops are those made during the Arts & Crafts movement of William Morris, et al.
Recently, in England,an Arts & Craft chair, originally priced at £15,was sold at auction for £8,000. (It was televised!)
Somebody must like 'em!

Well regarding dream catchers I know many non-pagans who buy it [my best friend started her own business in high school selling her dream catchers and jewelry and sold it to tourists in the summer] you can set up an online store like etsy or some similar site, or you could look up local craft fairs or farmers markets to sell your merchandise [another friend of mine sold aromatherapy pillows and farmers markets] good luck to you.

Renaissance fairs and comic book-type conventions are also good places if you want to set up a booth. I see occult-related (and other not-really-occult-but-occult-looking) merchandise doing well at those as well.

And if the local culture accepts such things, local fairs and carnivals (our county and state fairs also often include craft shows) are another good option.
