Dear Sewfie,
Halloween is less than 3 days away and I still have no costume! Do you have any suggestions for sewing a quick and easy costume?
– Disdressed
No. Halloween is not Sewfie’s thing. Grab a Sharpie and an old white T-Shirt and make yourself a skeleton. Now let’s move on to more important things. With Halloween (nearly) out of the way, it’s time to start thinking about holiday crafting. And, you know what that means… craft fairs! Throughout this week, Sewfie will be sharing some tips on How to Have a Successful Craft Fair.
Tip #1: Make sure your table has “height”. Shoppers waltz through craft fairs glancing at tables from afar, in an effort to assess which table they should approach in for a closer look. Your table needs to look good from a distance and that means use your vertical space. Don’t just lay your goods out on a flat surface. Prop them up! See how our crafty-entrepreneur has:
- stacked a heap of Baby Puzzle Balls (check out our Free Licensing program for craft fairs) into a large basket with a large, eye-catching bow
- made a clever display for her necklaces with an old picture frame and a piece of foam board covered with a pretty fabric
- brought attention to her necklace display with a sign that spells out what she’s selling, “Scrabble Tile Jewelry”, in big block letters that you could read from across the room
This is an attractive table that holiday shoppers will want to explore! Stay tuned on Monday for Part II of How to Have a Successful Craft Fair!
{ Save the date for this year’s Handmade Holiday at the Franklin Mill Store, December 5th :: 305 Union Street, Franklin MA. Special guest will be Berroco Yarns and the Featured Artist will be Yours Truly! }
Warm Stitches,
