selling your crafts
Hi girls, I am looking for your thoughts, I recently got married and made my own aisle runner. which got most off my friends and friends of friends buying them from me. I also have been making blankets for family and friends for a while and someone told me that i should be selling them.
Do any of you girls sell your craft things? If you do sell, do you go to craft fairs or flea markets? Do you find you make much money from selling after paying for your supplies and stuff?
TIA!

Did you ever try ETSY.com
That is a great well known popular site for all things handmade.
I'd also try some local craft fairs, ebay, and cragislist.
Also weddingbee.com is a great site for that, just go to the site and look under classifieds

Etsy is really hard to break into. It takes a lot of hard work and you pretty much have to list something daily to have it be seen.

My mom makes wonderful soaps, lotions, bath salts etc. She concentrates on one big show a year. You don't want to hate making your version of "soap" because you "have to" do it.
Pricing she determines by calculating the cost of all her supplies and time. You have to make the call on what you want to get paid for your time and if people will be willing to pay that price.
Example. I quilt and cross stich which takes wads of time. I don't think people would pay for the materials and time charge (even at only $5 an hour) that it would price out at, so I don't sell.
