I know, how dare I think of anything else ! Is ther anything else that sellls well for you? I have a craft fair in September and I'm trying to think of other things I can make and sell there. I was thinking about wipe cases? Any tips would be great! I've only done one other craft fair but it was tiny and poorly attended. Oh this one is goign to have a lot of soccer players there (kids).

The one thing I always sell that is a BIG seller is very un-related to bows!! They are bread baskets!! I buy different kinds of rolls and dry them out in the oven then I lacquer them. I put them in a basket with a pretty cloth napkin hanging out the sides of the basket. I always sell out of these!! I always make sure I take these because I can always pay for me booth fee with those. I have always been amazed at how those sell but people really like them. Alot of people want to buy them to fool people at family get togethers with fake rolls!

I always wondered how those were made! Are you saying those are real edible rolls you buy and then lacquer them(which will inedible afterwards)?

That is a neat idea of making sure that you have a big seller which will help pay the fees...lol

I saw somewhere some really cute wipes case covers. The case just slid in. They were darling. And would be easy to make. Similar to this... WipesCovers
