Take a look around my Peddlers Mall Booth

 Have you ever been to a Peddlers Mall?

These are various ways I have styled my craft booth.

Each week they get moved and mixed around.

Nothing stays in the same place very long.

Take a Look at Past Views of the Booths

 

This is some pics of how my friend Donna placed items in the booth.

We both had items here and there and made them work with the basic theme

of black and yellow.

Door Hangers for Vendor Events

 I have been focusing a lot this past few weeks on door hangers.

With Fall here and Halloween just around the corner, these below

have been my main focus.

However, I did manage to throw in a few Christmas trees here and there.

Here is after I freehanded the design with pencil,

and cut it out.

The basic shape.

Booth #555

                                     

I've spent 15 years at the craft mall and in all honesty, the sales have just been declining too much to ignore.  Even though that's still my favorite thing to do in life, I will find a way to keep doing it all, both online and off.

But I am moving to mainly online sales and craft fairs and craft booths for a while.  

 I've spent so much of my life, buying and reselling and I will not stop.  

It is what I love.  Along with making whatever crafts that I feel like at the moment as well.  

It's just what I love.

And I'm going to continue.  I just need to venture out into new ways to keep doing so.

So here comes more craft fairs and vendor events in my future.

 I have missed going to the craft mall on a steadier basis already.  

It was so fun to see what people would walk around and grab and look at that I made or redone with my hands.

But I get to see that on the sales sheet still, at the end of the moth.

Do ya'll still have a physical craft booth anywhere that is still profitable?

Or are ya'll mainly all selling online now a days?

WATERMELON SLICE DECORATION

Super easy and cute decoration craft here.  

WATERMELON SLICES 

from wood hunks.

I simply had the idea one day when looking at a stack of wood we have out back.

Here's some of how we stack it.

Well, a couple of the little end pieces were laying on the ground and it looked like a few hunks of watermelon to me.  

So I grabbed it, cleaned it off and painted it up like so.

I just used acrylic craft paint in the craft section of Walmart. And I just used any red and green I had on hand.

And after painting on some red like that, I took a sponge brush and dabbed on the green to the "rime" and had to water it down a it to get it to soak in good enough.

And in the pic, you can see I dabbed on some blackish brown for the seeds and came back in with a touch of white to make them stand out.

As you see, any shape of little hunks of wood will basically do.

Just paint'em up and sit'em on your porch in a cute tray!

Happy Crafting, see ya'll next time,
