I talked about how we might do another craft fair this year. I don’t think we are going to do it, because we only planned on doing one this year for various reasons. However, if we do decide to get in the December 2nd Craft Fair, I will be sure to film it and share with all of you! 🎄❤️😘

Great video Amber. Thank you so much for taking the time to give the results after the craft fair. You definitely have me interested in doing this next year. I made several of these and gave out to family. Each were a big hit. You are just amazing and I am thankful for you!

How wonderful of you to take time to share not only your crafts and ideas with us but also the fair with a recap of best/worst sellers. That is so very generous and such a huge huge help for all of us who enjoy your videos and creativity. You inspire us and I appreciate you! Thanks and I look forward to every single video!

Thank you for sharing the results of the craft fair. One thing I've found that helps sales is having your display go up vertically. Like drape fabric over boxes & have things at different levels. Things can get lost when they are all behind each other at one level. I've found that displays that go up tend to catch my eye more when I'm shopping. I spent the weekend scouting out more shows that I can possibly do next year! I'm glad you did so well on many of your items! You did have a lot of cute things that I would have purchased if I saw them!

Thank you so much for given us a report on your craft fair. This was the first year that I offered the scrap paper embellished items. As I watched your videos, and made mine, I just fell totally In love with each project. My craft fair was this weekend and I'm telling you folks went CRAZY over them ! And I am hooked ! While at the craft fair, I was told of another craft fair in 2 weeks in a resort area in the mountains...she told me that the ones attending would love them, so I'm back with my supplies and will offer these beauties! Thank you again, for spending your time and please thank your sister as well...

Thank you for sharing! You make the most gorgeous crafts ever and you are so awesome and creative. I enjoy watching your videos and getting so many great ideas from you! Keep your creativity flowing!!

Wow thank you for this series and for the recap. Very good information that most probably wouldn’t share, so we appreciate that!
I sell at farmers markets all summer. I would say that since your things are so lovely, they deserve better than the plastic baskets you have them in. I have learned that presentation is everything. Signage is super important. You are a crafter...make some cute crafty signs! Your items are so pretty and look high-end. Make your display and signage reflect that.

Amber I’m a long time subscriber of yours and I just wanted to tell you that your Craft Fair Series is my absolute favorite! I look forward to it every year! This years was especially great and I love this recap video so much! I’ve been doing craft fairs for 10 years and it’s so fun to see what other people create.

Thanks a bunch, Amber, for sharing all that you do. You and your sister’s packaging is top notch. Every item looked terrific!

[ScrappyStephy]

I LOVE the cereal box notebooks, bookmarks, etc!! What a fantastic idea! These were all great items, thank you for sharing, you are so talented and lovely to share your ideas!

[darlenehowell]

Great recap Amber! So glad to hear you all did so well. Your booths looked so bright, easy to see the prices and you were all so welcoming. It was fun to see you gals again. Hugs, ❤️💕💖

Amber, I'm so happy that you had great success with your craft fair. Thank you so much for sharing your creative journey with all of us. Hugs

Congrats on your show! I love your display. I recently did a craft show. I made the notepad stack sets from your series. They were my top seller! So, many thanks Amber. I had them displayed flat on my table and not in a basket. Maybe that was the reason you didn't sell many because we both know they're awesome! I also made Christmas tags and they didn't sell.

Hi Amber, so glad you and Bri did well! I took your advice about packaging and wrapped all of my items separately in plastic envelopes and put the price right on the plastic so that ppl don’t wonder what the price is. Also I bought cute little christmas bags to give out with their purchase...instead of using grocery bags (which I have done for years)and it really shows you think about the shopper too (thanks for that idea too).

I had a friend over to show them my stuff and have a “pre sale”just for them and they commented on how professional everything looked packaged up and they LOVED the little bags I put their stuff in! I agree with a few comments below, bring some of your items “up to eye level”. I did that last year after reading a lot about how to sell at craft fairs and it looked better and I am sure I sold more. One more thing I did was put on the signs what they item could be used for, such as “great teacher gift”or “stocking stuffers” and “secret santa gifts”...and I could actually hear ppl say..oh yeah, great idea and then sold!

Thanks so much for this series, and telling us the price of your items. Although we pay much more for stuff in Canada I just priced mine accordingly. I usually figure out how much it cost me to make it (including packaging) and double it. My craft fair is on the 25th so I can’t wait to see if the ideas I took from you sell! Thanks again!!!

Thank you for the recap....I love your adorable ideas. Its great to know what sells and what doesn't....GOOD JOB!!

[lindarussell]

Glad to hear that your show was a success. I have my 1st of 3 shows this next weekend and hope I am as successful as I was last year. Thank you for all your inspiration and sharing with us your successes.

[lindaney]

Thank you for going over your items for us and letting us know what sold well.

[wandalorenz]

Thank you so much Amber I just loved this series! I made a couple of them for gifts this year. My favorite part is how you showed us how to use up our scraps in such wonderfully creative ways! You are an amazingly talented woman! I hope you have a great Christmas.

[BeautifulYou]

Thanks for sharing the hits and misses of your craft fair. Glad things seem to have gone well.

[Fit_Kitty]

I discovered your channel with this craft fair series and I'm so happy I did. I don't do craft fairs but I really love all the ideas I got from watching your series. Thank you so much for the wrap-up! I'm so happy your Christmas journals were a best seller because that was my favourite item that you made and I want to make some myself. I look forward to seeing more from you! Congratulations on your craft fair success!

Hi Amber, I haven't really commented on your videos but have been watching them for several months. For some time we have had the intention of doing different things for craft fairs but your videos help get us going. I had planned on making a bunch of cards at different price points, some altered composition books and planners but after seeing yours and some other videos we went with the variety (not as many as yours but we did several of your items). We started crafting too late so we were doing a lot over the last two weeks. As we shopped at the Dollar Tree, some of what you made inspired me to make a couple different items with the breath drops and tissues. I am happy to share with you what we did but this is more to thank for the inspiration and all of your updates. Interesting that a couple of your best sellers were similar to ours although we did a different twist on the hot chocolate and use the pockets to put packets of Capucinno packets with a biscotti cookie. Thanks again for you all your inspiration!!! Also, your updates showing us what you do at the booth, and how you evaluate the sales is awesome!!
