Garden PartyThis may sound silly, but a garden party, is another great way to get some sales of your crafts. The weather obviously can play against you for a garden party, so watch the forecast and have a "rain date"... or move it inside.
If you have a pretty garden, or even if some of the crafts you make are for the garden, this would be a great way to get to know your neighbours and have some fun, and SELL SELL SELL! Make sure your garden is at its best, lots of flowers etc, make sure to have enough seats, and shade if its very sunny, and of course REFRESHMENTS!..
Have some of your crafts or creations in different parts of the garden, maybe on rustic easles, outside patio tables, hanging from tree branches... especially if your craft is WINDCHIMES, MACRAME, HANGINGS of all kinds and so on.. get creative!.. Make sure everything is well priced and easy to see, be ready for people to touch and feel your work. Send out invitations a few weeks in advance.. and if it does rain, have a rain date, or make more of your show inside.. you could even set up a dining tent for the sun sensitive crafts.. if you sew, make sure to wear one of your creations!.. get creative!
