I am providing the favor’s for an upcoming bridal shower, so I’ve decided to start a new series where I share with each of you what gifts I am making, and how I’m making them. I hope you will be able to take away some ideas for yourself and your gift giving ideas.
Christmas tags/ornaments (also sold all except maybe 3 of them)
Post it note pads (which was my biggest seller, I sold all except 5)
The prayer boxes sold well. I get the feeling that one will show up in other peoples booths.
Total duds:
Handmade cards (non-Christmas)
Lavender sachets
Stationary boxes
clothes pins
magnets
mini coffee cups (this surprised me, everyone liked them but no one bought them)
The silly critter (pom pom characters)
Once again the over all experience was a positive one. It was my first show. My only complaint was that the venue was not well advertised or attended. If it had been sales would have been greater and what I will be selling in another fashion would have been less.
Please forgive the briefness of this post. I am gearing up for a big day tomorrow. I still need to bring some “emergency supplies” (tape, scissors, glue, chargers, extension cord) . After a few months of preparations I didn’t know if I had made enough “stuff”.
I had enough to need to purchase a second table at the show. Yay me, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at this second, but a good hot bath, glass of wine and a good night sleep promise to open tomorrow for success.
One of my favorite things about this show is it has a purpose. Proceeds will go to local children at Christmas who would otherwise not have any gifts.
Today I am revisiting a previous craft fair idea. In the first video I used a template from Deb Valder who provides a great tutorial for covering these tiny coffee cups with patterned paper.
These are perfect for shower gifts, craft fairs and other civic events.
I used patterned paper from Wild about plaid (purchased from Hobby Lobby), The dies for the project come from
