{To Do Lists}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 9: {To Do Lists}


These were sort of a last minute addition to our booth!  I decided the night before the craft fair that we needed something else, and found several cut up notepads in my craft stash.  I ended up glueing a magnet to the back of them so they could be hung up on the fridge.

We priced our 'To Do' Lists at $3.00 each, and sold a few.

I made mine a bit differently, but was inspired by THESE.

{Pencil Pouches}


**There will be no 'Sew Cute Tuesday' Linky Party this week.  Come back next Tuesday to share your sewing projects!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!**

Day 8: {Pencil Pouches}


If you're looking for a stocking stuffer/gift idea that has nothing to do with candy, this one is perfect!  I had one lady buy a bunch of these specifically because they were a cute non-candy gift.  We made 12 of these, and sold all but 2.  The price we decided on was $3.00 each, or 2 for $5.00.

A tutorial for this can be found HERE.

{Snowman Poop}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 7: {Snowman Poop}


People got a kick out of this item, and it sold out quickly as well.  I kept one of them untied so the customers could read the poem inside...

And here it is all tied up and ready to go!

We priced these at $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00, and as I said before, they SOLD OUT!

A tutorial for this can be found HERE.
The idea for the poem came from HERE (I made my own version on my computer).

{Hot Cocoa Gift Set}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 6: {Hot Cocoa Gift Set}



Inside the cups are 2 packs of hot cocoa and some Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints {love those!}.

I made these as gifts last Christmas, and everyone who received one loved it.  I thought they'd go over well at the craft fair, but was WRONG!!  Lots of people commented on how cute they were, and what a great gift idea they'd be, but we only sold ONE

They were priced at $5.00 each, and I thought that was fair given the amount of time that went into making each one.  Maybe everyone else thought it was too much?  I'm not too worried about it though, because now I've got 11 gifts that I don't have to make for Christmas!

{Tile Coasters}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 5: {Tile Coasters}




I've made tile coasters in the past, and we use them all the time at our house.  They are a GREAT gift idea and can be personalized with pictures, soda cans, or scrapbook paper. 

I used some scrapbook paper for these, and had enough tile to make 4 sets.  We sold them for $6.00 a set, and ended up selling 2 of them.

If you'd like to make some of these, there's a fabulous tutorial HERE.
