I recently treated myself to some "stamps" washi tape from a favourite illustrator of mine, Jon Turner (www.thisisjonturner.com) and when I commented online that I might turn some into jewellery, he asked if I'd share how. So... How do you make really easy square or rectangle earrings from your favourite stickers, pretty washi tape, or, well, anything papery? This is a really easy make, not something to last through the ages, but great for being able to wear something you love! So if you want to use what you probabaly already have at home, to make quick, no mess accessories (no resin, no varnish, no layers of glue to dry) this is perfect for you.
You get to see a lot of things from behind a trader’s table at makers’ markets and craft fairs, and meet quite the range of people! I've been selling at a variety of events since I was a teenager, so have decided to share some of my experiences. Some of these tales are cautionary, some simply amusing, but all of them, honestly are true! This particular post was first published in creative-crafting.com online magazine. Planning, Preparation, and Panic.Going to your first event as a stallholder is usually a little nerve wracking. But imagine how much more of an emotional roller coaster it is to arrive, and realise you probably needed to bring more than just stock, a price list and a float!
There’s a lot of advice out there for first time stallholders, from Pinterest boards packed with stall layout ideas, to lists handily summarising what you’ll want to take on the day. It can be a bit bewildering… You need to decide to label individually, or have a price list? Display on rustic wooden shelves, or crisp acrylic displays? |
