The invention discloses a material for producing handicrafts. The material comprises the following components by weight parts: 10-15 parts of paraffin, 20-35 parts of calcium carbonate, 20-50 parts of polyethylene, 0-15 parts of pigment powder, and 0-2 parts of rosin, wherein the polyethylene is high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene or linear low-density polyethylene. A preparation method of the material for producing the handicrafts comprises heating 10-15 parts of the paraffin to 50-65 DEG C for dissolving, adding 20-50 parts of the polyethylene to mix, heating to 110-220 DEG C for dissolving, adding 20-35 parts of the calcium carbonate to mix, adding 0-15 parts of the pigment powder and 0-2 parts of the rosin under a temperature of 200-220 DEG C, dissolving and uniformly stirring to obtain the finish product. The method uses the paraffin, the calcium carbonate and the polyethylene as main raw materials; and the finish product has advantages of high hardness, good toughness, high resistance intensity, light weight and low cost, and the preparation technology is simple and low in thermoplastic temperature.
