Instagram is the perfect space to share crafty pics. (It’s also a fantastic excuse to take a break and style a pretty photo.)
As an eclectic crafter I’ve been collecting a list of all the crafty Instagram hashtags I’ve found inspiring, helpful, and have joined in myself. And why hide it all in a spreadsheet? This post will keep getting updated as I discover more creative corners in Instaland, so be sure to Pin and check back later. Happy crafting!
Getting Started
These official guides cover the basics:
You can tag a post with up to 30 hashtags. I hope this guide helps you make the most of it!

Brilliant, what a great list, thanks so much! One I would add to the list that I use is #cardmaking under papercrafts. There are tons here I didn’t know of though so it’s brilliant! x
Thanks for the addition Jennifer, have added it to the list. Glad you’ve discovered some new ones too!
Absolutely brilliant! Love this list! I can’t think of any others that I use, but if I do I will come back. Fab list!
Thanks Carin! Thought it could be inspiring for other makers, too

Brilliantly useful post, thanks for sharing!
I’ll just say that I love this! I stare at my phone with a blank mind when it’s time to post on Instagram. This has helped me time and again to get the hashtag juice flowing!
What about any jewellery tags?
Very helpful post, thank you! I use #diyproject and #bottlecrafts for my bottle lamp posts on Instagram.
Great article, thanks for sharing :)
