Craft Show Results
Finished my first show for the year (Halloween). The show is for 4 days and has one check out (they take all credit cards). You set up your booth and have to work 8 hours. Their are about 40+ venders and I would say that 85 to 90 percent is purchased merchandise. I can not belive how much I sold the show was w
wonderful came home with emply boxes. What sold redneck wine glasses, halloween plates, light strains with fabric,fabric wreaths, all of course all of the p--p sayings. I need thank all of you for the great ideas and sites that you share that gave me such great ideas for the crafts that I made. Next show is in October then a show or two everyweek unitl the middle of December.

sounds like a profitable show, and well organized. What type of fabric wreaths were popular? Also, am unfamiliar with "light strains with fabric". Can you explain, or better yet show a picture? If you are not too busy getting ready for the next show. Thanks.

The fabric wreaths, I buy wire wreaths at Joanns or Michaels the have 4 rings and I cut fabric 2" wide by 7" long and tie to the rings. The lights I purchase at 99C store and tie fabric between the strands. It is a easy project just takes at little bit of time.
