Thanks for the suggestions, I Really think I am going to do the fabric thing.  Most likely Black, with accent materials.  They are asking to a Festive table covering, so I think I might go possibly go with some Red and green squares to overhand the table edges.

 

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Here whats works for me.

Table covers: Rent table cloths and table skirts from a rental center(navy looks best).

Price: Depends where you are at. In Florida I try to keep 50% of my items at less than $10.00. It dosen't take many small sells to pay your booth rent. Remember that your work is only worth what your buyers are willing to pay.

All my ornaments are hard wood.I stack four 1/8 hard wood with one 1/8 ply on the botom to stop splintering. I sell the finished hard woods for $4.99 or three for $12.00. I light sand the ply and put in a ready to finish yourself basket and sell for $1.99.The crafters that are there looking for ideas buy all I have (50 to 100)of the unfinished each year, that alone pays my booth rent.Never put out more than one of each item.this makes the buyer think that they are buying an one of a kind item or this is the last I have and better buy it now befor it's gone. After they leave I put out another.

Items: What will sell changes day to day. What will sell today won't sell tomorrow. I keep an assortment of items on my tables at all times(mimi clocks-puzzels-portaits-ect)

Remember keep your cutting fun. If you are like me and already have a full time job, you don't need another. Cut what you feel like today not what you think you have to. I never cut the same type of item two days in a row.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck and let us know how you did.

I find that if you have something for the kids it always helps.  If you are doing a fall show they are always looking for stocking stuffers.  Just remember to keep the toys away from your really good projects..   Judy [email protected]
