Default NEED SUGGESTIONS!!

I am in need of any suggestions. I am wanting to get into my first craft fair in March for a three day event and need ideas on how to display a 10 x 10 space. also, what types of crafts to make for this time of year. I have plenty ideas for halloween and christmas but no ideas for March. I had thought about post it note holders. altered clipboards, mailboxes and etc. I hope this event turns out well I will be doing this by myself so any advice will be appreciated.

Easter is in April this year,so this should work out well for you. I would do some type of Easter basket candy packets, Easter and Mother's Day cards, and don't forget end of school teacher gifts. I did a fair this past December, and one good seller at another booth was the large round suckers that you find at CVS, or Walgreen's, and punches were used to fix them to look like Elmo, Ernie, Cookie Monster. They could be done to look like a Easter Bunny face. Have fun, for a three day event, you have some work ahead of you.

Easter is April 4 this year so I would suggest some Easter cards or treats. Also, Mother's Day (items with tea are nice for this), and graduation, maybe even First Communion cards (those are usually in early May). Good luck!

Too funny, Patrice, we posted almost the same thing at the same time!
Great minds think alike! :-D

At every show I do I sell out of (no matter how many I start with) and could sell many many more of the following...

Jumbo paperclip book marks
Post it note clip boards(a decorated coaster and a small binder clip)
Jumbo binder clips for holding pictures or business cards

I also use my Bind it all with two coasters to make a post it note notepad of sorts. They sell pretty well too.

HTH! :-D Good luck!

Thank you all for posting to my question. These are GREAT IDEAS! The reply on the suckers decorated to look like elmo do you have a picture? I have another question for ya'll. I have a ton of scrapbook paper, stickers, ribbon and diecuts. Would you say that if I was to make up scrapbook page kits they would be a good seller?
