Which items sell the best at craft fairs?

[Gayle8675309]

Hi,

Our local humane society is having a table at a craft fair on December 7 and they are looking for homemade items to sell.

What has been a good seller for you all at craft fairs?

Fabric Boxes?
Placemats (how many in a set?)
Table runners (how long?)

Thanks for any help!

I bought place mats at the dollar tree for a buck each, then machine embroidered a christmas tree or other dodi (I made this word up LOL ) in the corner of each
they turned out reallly cute.

I can't answer your question but I just wanted to say that it is very sweet of you to help our furry four legged friends. I hope they raise lots of money.

I did a craft fair in October and tablerunners were the hot item then. I did the 10-minute tablerunners in fall and Christmasy fabric and also the zigzag table runners that Jenny did the tutorial on in fall colors. I also sold a bunch of candlemats with jar candles. Since you are doing this for the humane society, maybe a little floor mat in the shape of a dog bone for the doggies dishes. Can't think of a shape for cats dishes (fish?) but maybe just a rectangle or oval with some kitty material.

Good luck

I did a craft fair in Nov. and the tablerunners didn't sell. I made those rolled up placemat candy dishes, they sold immediately, plus I got orders for more of them. Totebags sold, maybe using doggie fabric. I didn't have fabric boxes. Little tissue holders were a hot item, because they were inexpensive. And they are so easy to make!

Some home made dog biscuts would be fun. I bought my one dd a cutter that had a recipie. You could put them in a draw string pouch.

Oh and some animal toys with squeakers. I bought mine on Etsy.

My girl friend made triangular scarves in animal fabric (for dogs) and her sister sold them along with homemade dog biscuits. They were good sellers.
