Instagram Hashtag Cheatsheet for Handmade Careers

- July 20, 2018 | by April -

It’s my birthday!!!!!! Well, yesterday was, but let’s overlook that minor detail. And, because it’s my birthday, I made you a present.

I spent well over 40 hours working on this 1300+ hashtag cheatsheet for handmade careers for you. I hope you love it. If you sell in any of these categories, this cheatsheet will help you grow your following on Instagram:

  • Bath/Beauty/Soap Making
  • Calligraphy/Handlettering/Stationery
  • Ceramics/Pottery
  • Doll/Toy Designer
  • Embroidery
  • Jewelry Designer
  • Knitting/Crochet
  • Sewing/Textiles
  • Surface Design
  • Woodworking

I’ve also covered the following categories:

  • Maker/Handmade
  • Business/Marketing/Selling
  • Crafts/Crafted
  • Etsy

This cheatsheet lists a bunch of hashtags in each category and the hashtags are listed in order of usage. Each hashtag has the number of uses (at the time I created it) next to it so that you can decide which you should use based on your number followers, likes and comments.

Here’s an example of the Sewing/Textiles category:

    Thank you for this! I didn’t realize that hashtags in a separate comment were frowned upon – will change this asap!

    I hope you had a lovely birthday, and this cheat sheet is amazing especially for someone like me who has yet to embrace Twitter hashtags. I receive and send Tweets but I have not used hashtags. As always you clarify things and provide substantive information to your followers.

    Your health continues to be on my prayer list, and I pray that the treatment you receive is helping tremendously.

    Bless you and your loving husband.
