Craft shows come in all sizes. The smaller ones are often run by schools, churches, or other community organizations. Renting a booth at these is often very inexpensive, but don t expect high turnout and a lot of sales at these. Larger shows are juried, ensuring the crafts are high quality, and they re often split into different types: fine art/craft (expensive hand-made items such as sculpture or wood furniture) and traditional craft (still hand-made but produced in higher quantities, such as pressed flowers). These shows are heavily promoted and usually have a good turnout of people looking to buy rather than browse. Rents at these shows are more expensive, in the hundreds of dollars for a weekend, but your gross sales can be in the $1000 s IF you ve built up inventory, set your pricing right, and have something people want to buy. Usually it s better to start at the smaller shows and tweak your product before investing in the larger ones. Even though you can make money at craft shows, it is neither quick nor easy. Just like in traditional retail, this is going to be a very slow time of year for crafts, too. As for actually making a craft, I don t quite understand the question since it depends on what specifically you re trying to make. For instance, my parents make a living producing and selling pressed flower arrangements. The actual pressing of flowers is very simple, but they ve used their experience in other fields as well as a lot of experimentation to come up with arrangements that look nice and sell well.|::::|I find the best way to make money is to have a large rummage sale, if your group is a non-profit, just ask all the families to chip in and then run an ad in the newspaper, our non-profit can get $1000.00 in one day and its just a matter of making sure you have plenty of odds and ends. If its just small stuff try craigslist.com their ads are free.|::::|If you can do cat toys, it s fairly decent as a craft fair seller. But you need catnip. If you can get a steady supply of local catnip I have a lady in California who will buy all you make. She s currently paying fo rmy car , I ve been selling to her for close to 9 years now.|::::|Craft sales are not a good idea to make money, especially after the holidays. Only way you can do ok is churn out lots of the same thing very fast and sell them cheap
