Which items sell the best at craft fairs?

I've only ever done one craft show... and my best seller was Baby blankets. I made a dozen, I sold every one.

Great ideas here! How about a dog or cat placemat? They're quick and easy. You can display with a cute little feeding bowl So nice of you to help our furry friends!

I made aprons and hotpads the last few years for our local shelter to sell. I don't know what they priced them, but they were all gone by the end of the day. I agree with other posters that you want fairly inexpensive items. Maybe pillowcases and coasters sets, using holiday and cat/dog fabrics?

My daughter's dogs come home from the groomer with a scrunchie on their collars, it is just a tube of fabric that they put on the collar. I made one, it was so simple, and you could make them up in holiday fabrics.

We made bone shaped pot holders one year. This was for an actual dog show, but we also made a bunch of simple carpenter style aprons with pockets on the front to hold training treats.

At our church sale this month, all the snap bags I made sold fast. The tissue holders also sold well. I'm making more of both for the Breakfast with Santa sale in December. Simple and quick stuff, and price them cheap so anyone will be able to buy them.

The snap bags would be great to hold doggie treats or doggie doo bags.

For the humane society sale, I like the idea of the triangle scarves and the collar scrunchies too. I'd put the scrunchie on the leash though, just to make it look snazzy :)

how about some small scrappy quilts for dog/cat bed blankets>

Some very good ideas! Thank you all!

We just had a craft fair on Saturday. We sold out of mug rugs (sold them as sets with mugs from Christmas Tree shops) and the "four-square" coasters; did you know you can stick the base of stemware in them? Great selling point. The other things that sold were anything "angel" - tree ornaments, pencil toppers, note cards, you name it. Well, after all, all the tables were from area churches, lol!

One thing that one church sold a gazillion of were pencils topped with felt snowmen, for $1 a pop. What if you glue a dog or cat over the eraser, instead of a snowman? One lady bought 20 of them; she's a teacher and got one for each of her students. Have fun, and I hope you make a LOT of money!

Doggy jackets aren't that hard. That would be an idea.
