heppnerguy Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Here is a Sue Mey pattern I purchased today. I thought I would try painting it to make it stand out a little. Is the pattern ca good or bad choice for a craft show and would you paint the accent spots to leave them aloneness? Or perhaps just make a black backer board instead looking for suggestions and ideas.

wombatie Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 If you make what you like first then after your first craft show you will get and idea of what the people go for better. By the way I love the little fellow. Oh an maybe do a couple of boxes like that lovely little one that you made your wife.

Dave Monk Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Dick, Did you stack cut that? I really like the colors. You might try one in black. It would sure be less work. Did you put finish over the snow man? Looks great! If you do not mind special orders I would consider doing some personalized things. dave heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Looks very cute and would think it would be a good seller at a craft show. But then, you never know. I agree the color makes it pop but you want to limit your "hands on time" to create them so you make more $. So as Dave suggested you might try just using the black backboard and see how it looks. You could also "spray paint" some backers in other colors perhaps so it is all one solid color but something other than black. Depends really on what you think is going to sell the best and how much work you want to put into making them. Since you are "testing the waters" with this one show. You might have a few of different kinds on hand and see which ones seem to sell the best. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Dick That would be a great ornament for a show. It has what I call the cuteness factor. It reminds adults of their childhood and delights kids. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) That is a nice ornament and should sell very well. I like the colors. Like Dave asked, did you stack cut? I stack cut 6 at a time and my wife paints some of them. The painted and more complex ones sell for $12 the simple ones for $10. All are about 4" in dia Edited September 9, 2016 by Rolf amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Usual Dick type of excellent work. Good luck on the show. I do think the colors help it. Maybe, even an assortment of Christmas colors offered as different backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Dick, this is a perfect example of what you should have on your table at a craft sale. The fact that it is painted different colors, really adds to it's appeal and should make it a good seller. Personally, I think that one with a black backer would look good, but, I don't think it would sell nearly as fast as one with the colored backer would.
