Grow your woodworking business with wedding “smalls”! You asked for it so here it is. The average cost of a wedding right now is $30,000 with over $2000 of that being spent on decor and rentals. There is a ton of money to be made by renting or selling wedding decor… and if you’re not interested in that… these are great high-profit items for any woodworking business!
Let’s break down some more builds and I’ll also show you step-by-step how to make 3 decorative lanterns using only 1 fence picket!
Often, smaller items are looked over by new builders looking to make a name for themselves because they are looking for “that one build” that they can sell for a ton of money. They aren’t considering the cost of the build and the time spent making it. Ultimately any business comes down to profit margins. I’ll give you a few examples of how selling items that anyone can afford can generate crazy sales with minimal cost of goods sold!
Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let’s change that.

Matt do you think you could do some 4th of July builds since that’s the next big holiday decor…
You’re a smart man
Very detail oriented and you cover every aspect and every option imaginable. Thank you for the great content. Look forward to more a lot of inspiration from all your videos.
This is my 20th year as a wedding DJ. I've seen all the trends. One of the most enduring is the rustic decorations. The log slab centerpieces. The old glass pane door, white washed, with the seating chart written or attached to it (one table per pane). The directional signs. Take your ring box but narrower and instead of boring a hole put a band saw blade slit in one end. Then put a rectangle of card stock with the guest's name and table number in the slot. Instant card holder from a 1" branch that's ½" high. Easy. Wooden crates turned sideways on the desert table. I even saw a 2'X3' board with dowels sticking straight out. Then they hung 4-5 donuts on each dowel and put it on the dessert table. Hysterical. So many options. Thanks Matthew.
👍👍
I'm sure it's been asked…. 😂 How much do you sell these for a piece?
Just found your channel today. We rehab discarded furniture and wood so you are a man after our own hearts.
Fall in a pile of sticks… that they rented.
Matt, if I am using pallet wood for outdoor wildlife art wood do I need to sand the wood flat or just to get the rough edges knocked down? Thank you in advance.
My husband and I made those lanterns for our wedding a couple of years ago and they were so pretty. I like your version as well. We also made a version of the wooden center piece boxes that holds the jars for my son and his wife's wedding. I loved all of these ideas.
Always enjoy your videos and your suggestions for small profitable wood projects. Can't wait to try building some of the ideas myself. 💪😊

For the candle holders you made, wont the closed top be a fire hazard?
The ring box from my wedding is exactly one of those. It has a pin or nail in it that allows the top to spin open. I let my wife handle the wedding so I have no idea how much she paid for it but that was back in 2015.
Another way to make the colored jars is to put some medium to fine sand blasting media inside of them and shake it up real good to put some texture on the inside of the jar. Clean the jar out. Pour some chalk paint of whatever color you want inside and roll it around until it's coated, pour out the excess. The texture from the sandblasting media will cause the paint to be matte and since it's inside the jar, it makes it more durable and cleaning easier. I used to take cheap glass vases and do this to them and sell them.
Question. idk if you’ll see this or not since it’s a few days past since you posted but when you build something new how many do you build to see if it will sell or not before you make it a reoccurring project And know it’ll be a reoccurring sell etc?
$30k for a wedding is insane. I gave my daughter a 5k budget and she had a good one.
Hey Matthew. What did you use to attach the lid of your ring box?
You’ve done it again and again.!!! Life the smallest hopefully in a few weeks I have entries for the Brag Board. Keep it up my brother thanx a million!!!
I love these ideas. The decor is the same but given a different name!!
How many times has Mathew said fence picket in his lifetime? Love your videos. Love your ideas thanks for sharing!
Using your theory of putting personal spins in stuff, ill use the info you gave as well and combine it.
Use the corner brackets from the tissue box video to cover the top end butt joints on the lanterns. Would look BADASS, plus cover any wierd little gaps that may be there from the jigsaw
