Crafter's Corner

Thanxs M

I have only ever heard the opposite from other sellers that they can be very expensive and sometimes not the lucrative

Its not an option me for a very long time so i haven't looked into the full expensive but some stall prices i have seen were a lot

 

Agreed: some of the larger venues charge an extortionate amount but I kept to a smaller events and certainly made enough to cover my pitch and make a few bob
Bare in mind this was pre-internet too, so handcrafted items were not so easily accessible e.g. a click of a mouse from the comfort of your own home/office

 

Lol Yeh when a stall competes with listing an item for 12p for 4 months its no wonder they appear extortionate

 

To be honest "M" I don't know what my daughter-in-law has available to her in this respect, she is in America of course, I'll speak to her about it.

I've not heard of this before, thanks Dips. I'll put this to her assuming it's available to her.

Well done!

Regarding 'Deramores'....I have started to use them for supplies in the last year and find them efficient and reasonably priced. Their delivery times to the island are excellent!

My daughter uses craft fairs to sell and pays anywhere between five and fifteen pounds, depending on how large the venue is. She also does boot fairs during the summer months.

 

@Sheal etsy is an american site everything is billed to me in dollars so is fully available to her :-) infact its worldwide now so is available to everyone

 

Not a great picture but just turned these cane toppers for a couple on my allotment who have helped me out since I got there. Made from some silver birch I had knocking around. Might make a few more of these in the new year to sell.

 

They are lovely Jane,

They are well nice!

 

Last night at midnight i for some reason decided to rearrange my craft room. In the process i found these



My mum started making me bill and ben figures out of the bio degradable pots but she couldn't do it so gave me them to finish

Totally forgot i had made them. Just don't know how to finish them. I was thinking doing decoupage but not sure with what or what pattern.

Any ideas?

 

A great idea Jane!

 

Where will you be using them? (They look cute!)

 

Oh no idea i would love an idea for that too lol

 

Hmm, ok
Well, as they are bio degradable, I'm going to assume you'll use them indoors? Do you have an arrangement of house plants they could sit beside/amongst? And if so, could you tie in the way you decorate them to fit in with the theme of the room?

 

They were gonna go in my potting shed but its wet for some reason inside and cant work out how or why so thats not an option till i get it watertight and dry

No house plants im afraid i tend to kill them. I only have one money tree and thats because i ignore it

The brugs in for winter but thats temporary
