Hi
I presume you've set up a page for your crafts?
Make sure you post, post, post! Not just photos of your stuff (good, clear pictures. Be creative if you can) but maybe funny stuff - pictures, videos, memes etc from around the web. Even better if it somehow tie in with your craft.
Then start getting likes. Realistically this will involve paid campaigns which, when done right can cost very, very little. Make sure you target your ideal demographic to get the best quality followers who are likely to buy from you. You would want to do a "likes" campaign and then a couple of "sales" campaigns. There are loads of videos on YouTube on how to run successful Facebook marketing campaigns but there is a lot of iffy advice too (which will waste your money). I've been running Facebook campaigns for quite a while and €20 spent on a campaign will get some great results.
Then there's a shopify shop (Google: Facebook Shopify) but again don't expect to set it up and have instant sales.
Hope this helps! Feel free to pick my brain (selling online & Facebook marketing is what I do) : )

Why not use Etsy?

+1 for Etsy. My gf sells handmade clothing and jewellery there.

She sells a little on FB but finds it a lot more challenging!

Bit afraid incase my stuff isn't good enough for etsy haha. I ll have a try though just gotta take better pictures first

Try selling a few things cheaply as an introductory and if the feedback is good proceed from there.

Worst case scenario somebody asks for their money back and it's a lesson learned.

I find etsy great, no Hassel, great communication. High expectations alright but as I make everything to order that's no problem.
