What do you mean by "craftable" in this context? Making the display furniture at a Hearthfires workbench? Or did you just mean displays for craftable stuff?

I mean unique furniture you craft and place yourself....such as shelves and you actually see potions on the shelves you put into them.....akin to the vanilla book shelves.

There are a number of mods that provide pre-made displays for certain items, but they have a number of constraints. The items so placed have to be consistent in size, like books, which have a limited range of sizes, and they have to occupy pre-determined locations at placement. So the books you place start upright, and can fall over when the process is complete. You wouldn't, for example, be able to make a shelf for misc items that could range from a bee to a mammoth tusk. It's possible to make books stack, but it wouldn't work with cabbages.

So the usual mods provide displays for dragon claws, priest masks, elder scrolls, which are all identical in size and shape. I think I've seen one for potions, but couldn't find it when I searched.

Then making the display furniture craftable is another level of complexity, and I have not seen any mods that do that for new displays.

I've looked at doing it with the larger shelves to hold armour. Three spaces per shelf to place boots, helmets or body armour, using the ground objects. I never finished the work. There's just too much involved.

I don't know of any mods that allow you to craft, but I've used Jacksonz potitioner to place various different types of shelves and place item's on them.

You can try my http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17574 mod. It has craftable shelves that will display almost anything, but if you really care how things look you'll need to adjust the spacing of the items using the item placement function. The default script just puts everything in a row like books (except for ingots and scrolls which get stacked). The biggest problem is that many items don't have their proper bounding size properties set in the CK, which can severely mess up automatic placement. That's why most displays are set up to handle one specific type of thing and usually even hard-code specific items even then.

The problem with the mods I list there - is that they have no display options really. FPI Gallery has statics, you can get them and use Jaxonz Positioner to set up a display in a shelf or whatever - but as for a real "place here" with a name for the unique, no - I would KILL for something like that, but there isn't one....
