Craftmania



I have committed myself to insanity- not really, but I did commit to do a Christmas botique! It gets bigger every year and I have not participated for a few years and I have never done much or very well, so why am I doing it again??? I don't know! Try until I succeed? Or just make life kookoo? I am going to sell my birthday garlands and merry Christmas ones and maybe the party/ birthday hats. Really anything paper that I can manipulate. I have tried to sew and I get too frusterated. So paper is my medium of choice. Sisters? Friends? what do you think?

oh my gosh - sign me up as a buyer right now!!! when my mom and i were at roger's gardens the other day they had decorations that looked JUST like the ones you did for paris. and they were REALLY expensive.

your stuff is very beautiful and so creative and fancy. i love it. i also heart your love banner. i think if they aren't too hard you should definitely include the hats. they are awesome.

Thank you! How much were the banners at Roger's? They do take forever to make...

Megan and Vinny said...

actually, they didn't have banners, just like ornaments and a doll with a hat like paris's. i don't remember how much they cost, i just remember thinking they were a lot of money. but worth it!

I want to order one for every holiday and in each of my kids names.
I love them. You should set up an etsy shop online.:)

Bridget said...

My won't cost a ton, but I was thinking about $25-30 for the long banners and about $12 for the short ones. The hats would be about $20... Does that sound fair?

Love them! Super cute Briget. I'm stoked that you're in the show. Yes, it is a little crazy but also so fun! Look forward to seeing you there at the beehive bazaar!

Cammie said...

I think you should do the hats for sure!

suvi said...

those look beautiful! Wow, what a magician you are with paper Bridget!

Michelle said...

I love your garlands and your party hats!! I so wish I could be out there for this event! I hear you about the craziness with the projects I'm deep in fabric and embroidery floss!

Love your work with the paper. Magic! Selling? It's all about marketing. Have a picture of your fireplace showing how you used the banner. Do something from your diningroom light and take a picture of that. Not all are blessed with vision, but delight in the ideas of others and love to buy. Last. Sell something for every piece of money. They don't have a twenty, okay you made a ten dollar item and a five also and even something tiny and shiny for a dollar. They came to buy at the bazaar. You came to sell!
