Hi all!
So I am going to have a booth at a Holiday Bazaar in less than a month.
I have been doing craft fairs since 2017, so I am no entirely new to them, but I have a few questions:
1). I have made some crochet heart and flower pins and barrettes (pics below), but I am not sure how to display themā¦
I was thinking maybe placing them in this:
2). What crochet items are popular this year in markets/craft fairs? I have made a lot of Christmas themed items, (snowman, gingerbread, Santa, Grinch, gnome, jellyfish, whale, and jewelry. See items here), but I am unsure of what is on trend atm.
3). Where/how do you get a professional sign with your logo on it? Currently, I have a handmade sign with āJAdamasCollectionā on it, but it doesnāt look very professionalā¦
Any suggestions are very much appreciated! 
If you would like to see some of my items/would like to support me, please check out my Instagram, Facebook, and or Etsy

Hi! I have never done nor been in a craft fair, but i would probably display clips in a way that they can be aeen without been all touchedā¦ Maybe something like this
Also, i believe you have a great selection of items! Anything holiday related will sure be a hit (maybe you can add candy canes as well?), and you can never go wring with whales/octopus/jellyfish ! In my opinion they are a huge favorite !

Iāve also been hearing that gnomes are pretty popular.

I think having like a board where you can display them standing up only one item of each design would work for display only and have the actually ones people would buy separate, perhaps in a closed container and if someoneās interested you can grab them and give them it, that way it minimizes the amount of touching/bacteria

Honestly Iām not sure, but I would think that things that are functional/usable, cute, or nice looking would sell regardless if that item is trendy

For the professional sign with your logo, depending on the material that youāre using to display your logo you can probably use Etsy and have someone print out your logo and some nice decorations maybe as stickers and you can play them on the sign/board/etc, my grandma has a cricket machine and she likes to make seasonal signs with wooden boards she gets at craft stores and by placing the vinyl
stickers made from the cricket like letters/shapes/decorations on there and it looks really clean and nice perhaps you can do something similar?
Good luck with the craft fair!

I made myself a custom corner to corner blanket / sign that said āmade by Marilynā
The hair things screamed out to me to have a big yarn braid and clip them to it, going down the side of your canopy leg or something

I think little plushies would be good, shouldnāt take terribly long to make and are really cute

I can answer your second question! Iāve been to a couple of vendor vents and small items sell a bunch, parents usually donāt want to spend a lot of money so small things in the 5-15 dollar range sell quickly! Itās also good to have variety, I usually make a lot of different items so there are many choices. I hope your event goes well!!

Your local family owned printing shop can usually make banners too.
A family owned business did a great job of making CD labels for my husbands music CD.
