My first craft show in years

[jipsy]

I am doing a craft show at the end of May. I haven't done one in YEARS! My sister does them every year down south and has given me some ideas.

I thought maybe some of you might have ideas? I don't know what is popular right now? I am making purses:

And some bead and wire crafts.

What else can I do? It needs to be fast and easy LOL

Hi Jipsy-

I don't know what area of the country you are in, but these purses are very popular in my area:

Another thing that always seems to be popular around here is jewelry (like silver & beaded bracelets) similar to this:

http://www.beadtrends.com/ I see them with all sorts of charms and themes (school colors/mascots etc...)

Since your show is at the end of May, and the weather should be warm/getting warm, how about some really cute Flip Flops?

You could dress them up with beads, flowers, bows, whatever. My DD and I have about a million pairs of flip flops. We can't wait for summer!

HTH...Good Luck at your show, and please share with us what you decide to do!

funny - that purse is one of the patterns I have.

I like those Mother's bracelets - those are cute.

I am also thinking of taking old watches (I have a bunch) and making those beaded watchbands for them too.

Thanks alot!
