So last Saturday I had my second fair of the season. Being my second I knew a little better what to expect. After getting there and setting up it was almost two hours before the first customer showed up. I didn’t realize this was the church’s first time to host a craft fair so not many people knew about it. Throughout the day people trickled in. I feel I would have sold a lot more if there had been more people. Most people bought something and said I had very creative beautiful things. My most popular item were the greeting cards. I brought my price down from the last fair I did from $5 a card or 5 for $20 to $4 a card or 5 for $15. Most people bought 5 cards.
Although it was a slow day I did well. I paid for my rental space and made a nice little profit. I am hoping my next fair has more people. I am planning on making a lot of Christmas themed gift items and a lot more card.
If you live in the North Texas area come visit me. I’d love to meet you.

Hi Kristina, I too like participating in Craft Fairs, mostly schools and churches, although Iast year I don’t think there were any local schools that had one, I guess it could be down to Covid. I do have one craft stall, the last saturday in every month at a local Church coffee morning, so it’s the first one back this year soon. I make some cards, lavender bags, a few other little joke fun kits, and in the right season some plants that I have grown from cuttings or seeds. My Husband Frank, likes to help out, by making things from wood like house numbers, cats to put on the corners of light switches and mice, which he cuts out with a scroll saw, and has even made a jigsaw for a friends GDaughter of a horse ! Are your Craft Fair ideas on this site, or a different one? Well Kristina, Good Luck for your first Craft Stall for 2024. Cheers for now Marilyn in Nottingham UK ( Supposed to be -5 tonight)
Hi Marilyn,
No I have not done a craft fair since Covid. You booth sounds wonderful. How fun to craft with your husband. My husband’s hobby is photography. I’ve tried to get him to sell his work but he said that would take the fun out of it.
