Spring Craft Show Ideas Must be cheap and simple!
Kim12469 Beginner MT USA Member since 3/27/08 Posts: 2081	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/7/13 3:03 PM I've been kind of wrangled into setting up a table for a spring craft show. I've only ever been to holiday ones so I have no idea what to do. It's through my Dog Sports club so I will be making some dog collars to sell, but I wanted to do something else as well. The kicker is that it's March 17th so I gotta get moving! Headbands Fabric flowers for clips/pins That's where I've stopped my creative juices....lol! I don't want to sink a bunch of money since I have no idea. I have loads of fabric scraps as I'm sure we all do so I was hoping to use something with them. TIA for any ideas! And don't worry, I live in the boonies so I won't be infringing on anyone else's craft shows ;-) ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

Mine are like tiny pillows, with some catnip in with the stuffing, and a feathery/ribbony tail. Hope that makes sense? If I see one around, I'll get a picture, but I'm not sure where the cats have stashed them at the moment.

I have a ton of scraps that would work for that and an abundance of ric rac I inherited from my grandmother that would dress them up. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

Easy to make and you can use alot of cottons you have left from other fabrics. ------ Elna Excellence 740, Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0, Janome 300E, Brother 8500D, Janome 900CPX CoverPro, Brother 5234 Project Runway Serger, Singer Treadle http://juliannasjourney.blogspot.com/

Also, there are tons of ideas here. I also agree with the car trash bags, and rice bags (with or without essential oils for aroma therapy). I think both would go over well with the dog crowd. You could also bake some dog treats - tie up a few w/ a ribbon. This Pinterest Board may have some other dog-specific ideas for you. I like the clothespin dog and the rope dog toys from leftover fleece. (Also lots of treat recipes in there.)

I kind of like the water bottle holder. I think for dog people it would be nice to be able to easily carry that for walks with their dogs. I know I would like it.

Just asking....I haven't been to any craft fairs lately and have never sold any craft items. I loved the little rectangular tea mats (mug rugs?) someone posted recently. I'd snap those up in a flash. I might shove other shoppers aside if they also had a sleeve on the back to hold a piece of cork to protect my furniture from heat and moisture. If you take the time to preshrink your fabric, by all means indicate that on a little sign so customers will know your items can safely be washed. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

I like the pocket to hold a cookie, a teabag, a mint, a sugar packet, the spoon, etc. -- Edited on 3/8/13 3:53 AM --
