10 AI Prompts Every Creative Maker Needs
Copy each prompt, fill in the brackets, and paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool. These come from real use in my jewellery brand and workshop prep.
1. Write a product description that actually sells
"I make [product] using [materials and technique]. Write a product description for [specific item] that appeals to [target customer]. 150 words, mention the craft process, end with a call to action. No generic luxury clichés."
2. Five Instagram captions from one product
"I just finished making [describe piece]. Write 5 Instagram captions, each from a different angle: (1) the making process, (2) the materials story, (3) the emotional meaning, (4) a question to the audience, (5) a short story about why this piece was made."
3. Rewrite your Etsy listing for search
"Here is my current listing title and description: [paste yours]. Rewrite it for Etsy search. Use the words a buyer types, not the words a maker uses. Keep my brand voice."
