Hello! To be upfront, I'm legally blind. I can see basic colors and shapes. If you see something that looks off or needs fixing, please point it out. I know the book charms have no imagery on them yet. They are prototypes of concept.

I'm trying to plan what to sell at a holiday craft fair at my local library in December. I'm mainly focused on Christmas ornaments. My goal is to use up as much of my acrylic yarn as possible, and then make a bit of cash for it. I'm also trying to use up old beads and craft materials I've accumulated.

My prices are gonna be $15 for the large (white with red beads) tree, $5 for the medium trees, and $2 for the smaller trees. The sweaters I was gonna price at $5. The hats at $2. I'm also going to make keychains and earrings of these book charms where I design the custom art book covers with generic Christmas/holiday titles. Or just imagery of the holidays. No copyrighted book covers. But I don't know the price of the keychain books or book charm earrings just yet.

Bc my goal is to move inventory, are there any other ideas or suggestions on how I could best move inventory. I'm trying really hard to just price things at what will sell.

Q1. How much of each should I make? Should I include trees with trunks? No trunks? All trunks?

Q2. Are my prices too high?

Q3. Should I add a tip jar?

Q4. Would it be unwise to mark everything 25¢ the last hour to move all the inventory?

Q5. Any other ideas of what I could make as Christmas ornaments? My main goal is to use up my stash. Second goal is to get money back. But I don't want to make wearables or things you'd need to wash frequently bc acrylic releases microplastics.

Q6. Would packaging them increase the sellability?

I'm disabled. My time in this country isn't considered valuable bc no one hires people who are blind. I know there's a formula to "work out" how much items should ethically cost. But they never sell at that price. And I'd rather have the $2 than the 30 min of making the little doo-dad. I just want to move inventory and make a little cash.

Thank you in advance!

I am considering whether they're suitable for booths. I made these beads with only herbs. Will these things sell? How do you set your prices if it takes at least half a month to make one?

Crochet Christmas stocking... I made yesterday and only takes about 25 minutes to make.. I'm gonna crochet several more and add a candy cane to them.. would you say that it would be a good stocking stuffer?

Hello all!! I have been considering participating in craft shows after I finish my undergrad in May and move to a new state/city. I want to start making products, building my brand, planning out setups etc now so that I'll be plenty prepared when I'm ready for my first event. My main obstacle is that I have so many ideas and different products that I make but I know that narrowing it down is more practical for my production time and is better for sales but it's so hard. Any general tips on how you narrow down what to sell is greatly appreciated and I'll list things I make below if you have any suggestions specific to my goods.
