Craft shows

Well.. I have tried a few craft shows this year and lost money trying them out.  It's either my product or it's the timing of the show.  I will start again in spring of 2013.  I will be making some Easter things.  I hope to get this off and running.  I need to explore other avenues also not just craft shows.  I will be looking into flea markets as well and maybe some on line stores.   I know that when starting any business it's slow at first and maybe there's some ups and downs..but I am ready.  Take care...

ink pens with flowers, vase and glass beads

I put together a gift for a young lady that wanted a vase with beads and pens with flowers. I took a clear glass vase (sturdy) and added glass round and flat beads. Then I took ink pens that do not click and removed the covers over the tips, this will be the part that you stick in the beads. The next step, I taped on the flowers or toppers with painters tape. I covered the painters tape with green floral tape. This covers the painters tape.  There you have it.. arrange your decorative pens ..it's a great gift!! 2012
