christmas fayre - should i do it?

[MrsL]

oh wow thanks for the kids activity idea, and the page kit

i went to the craft shop today and bought some more stamps, ink and cardstock and pp. I also found some large round clear baubles not sure what i will do with them yet, but have some leading paint and glass paints so may try something with them, thought about putting a photo inside them.

thanks again everyone

£40 is a lot. I used to do the local primary school Christmas fair and they charged £10 plus a raffle prize.

I have done craft fairs in the past with mixed results. Do not build your hopes up too high as sometimes you just get lots of interest but nobody buys. I really hope it goes well and its good to share with a friend. What about some blank mini accordian books, tag books and bookmarks? You could have samples already done. Ready made up craft kits for kids are likely to be a seller.

thanks marilyn i love the filled baubles, the ones i have come apart so that would work well!

I also bought some plain wooden pegs and have decorated the front using cad stock etc for hanging up children's pictures etc

thanks so much

I know when I've visited this sort of thing (ok I'm a crafter so I'm biased) I often thought there should be something for sale quite cheap, so that if tere wasn't anything you fancied spending a lot on but wanted to buy something you didn't feel as if you were going home without anything! (Does that make any sense at all!!!) EG some embossed/stencilled notepaper or cards and matching envelopes, or maybe some small shrink-plastic zip pulls for the kiddies. hope this helps (and makes some sort of sense!!! lol)
