Amazon is so much more than just a marketplace for cheap electronics and used books. Explore the marketplace a little bit further, and you'll find that it has a grocery delivery service, a catalog of online courses, and, most interestingly, a section where sellers can list their handcrafted items. (Basically, it's Postmates, Skillshare, and Etsy all in one.)
Seeing as Amazon is overwhelming enough as it is, we've come up with a list of handmade items from Amazon to start you off as you explore some of the website's many sections.
1 | Mason Jar Wall Sconces

You might not be able to light up your living room with 10 million fireflies—sorry, Owl City—but you can do the next best thing and transform your space with mason jar sconces. Handcrafted in North Carolina, these magical mason jars add rustic flair to any room—and with the ability to be turned into everything from a vase to a candle holder, they're just as adaptable as they are awe-worthy.
2 | A Siamese Cat Felt Planter

3 | A Dandelion Seed Necklace
Amazon$18$17; buy now at amazon.com
One of the best parts of recess as a kid was happening upon a dandelion in the playground and making a wish on it. Of course, this doesn't happen nearly as much now that you're an adult and spend most of your time cooped up in an office, and that's precisely why you need this dandelion seed necklace. With the seed by your side—or rested on your collarbone, rather—a little bit of luck is never more than a few inches away.

6 | A Wine Rack with LED Lights
