Great tips for newbies. I love your booth. When i started, I bought 3 of the little 2 pocket aprons from Walmart that cost less than $6 total. I layered and stitched them together, leaving all six pockets accessible. I fill four separate pockets with 1's, 5's, 10's, & 20's. I put a notepad, calculator & pen in the 5th and my phone in the 6th. I end up with 3 separate ties that i tie in the back for extra security.I've since sewn a few for fellow crafters who've found them easy to use. I carry what I call my go bag that has things you may need for repairs, clean up or whatever, like scissors, zip ties, baby wipes, jewelry tools & extra jewelry findings, extra business cards, extra ribbon, paper towels, a small medical kit and a lot of other little things I may need. For those starting out and/or flying solo like me, if it's going to be a long day, pack a lunch, snacks and drinks because food at events if available can eat into your profit. Also you should have a trash bag or container, for not just tour trash or others looking to discard cups and such. Just a few thoughts to add to what you've given.

[@sherrelstroot3034]

Excellent ideas. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@PattiJGood]

I would love to see that apron, sound awesome. You really load up for the craft fair. I do take things to make repairs, paper towels and trash bags too. Under my tables are full LOL. I will pin your comment to the top so that others can read it. Thanks for sharing.

[@WomanUnfiltered]

@PattiJGood I'll get a pic of it once I find it. I relocated my craft space from a small & very cramped bedroom in my house to the large bonus room upstairs with the help of my son & his friend last weekend. I'm glad I had the help, but bless it. They dumped jewelry stuff in with sewing and my vinyl stuff in with my small woodworking projects, and my candle stuff is mixed in somewhere. Since I have a craft event coming up in a few weeks, I've got to focus on getting it all sorted out so I can get back to creating. Cross your fingers that my Go bag is intact because that's where my little apron is. 🤣🤣🤣

[@patriciahogg5763]

Great tips!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@patriciahogg5763]

Would love to see a pic of your apron!

[@Elphaba1952]

You always prove that "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" when you share all that you do! ❤❤

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

[@Linda-ml4ls]

God bless you for being so kind and thoughtful! Your experience and advice is extremely helpful! You are so organized, it is very impressive, but you have invested a lot of money in order to have your booth look so professional. I appreciated the fact that you took the time to show us the Amazon pictures of everything you recommended. Do you also have a tent, for outdoor fairs? Thank you again! I pray that God will bless you and your daughter’s efforts, and that your highest expectations be exceeded!

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you so much Linda, you so sweet. I do not have a tent for outdoor fairs. I only do the indoor ones. I had a bad experience at an outdoor event where my tent blew down because of a storm.

[@lilachesniak9687]

Beautiful display, not crowded, very appealing. I would definitely stop in.

[@PattiJGood]

Aww, thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂

[@cassiemcbroom3731]

Also been selling for years. We sell homemade pies etc… thanks for doing learned a couple of things myself!

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you so much. Homemade pies probably sell really well. It would be hard to be next to you at a craft fair, I would spend all my profit at your space LOL.

[@tobywollin8978]

Just another thought - if you have a helper (spouse, child, friend) in your booth (always good for the food run and bathroom visits), it's good to make sure you brief them on what you've got and how you make it because people will always want to know and they always appreciate the information which gives them the confidence to buy.

[@PattiJGood]

Great idea, thanks.

[@createwithamy5079]

Thank you for these great tips! Excellent!

[@PattiJGood]

You are so welcome!

[@mallorca26]

You thought of everything! Thank you so much for all the details!

[@PattiJGood]

Thank You 😊

[@dawnadams6590]

So many great ideas! Can't wait to try these at my next event. And at 6:31...just have to say "Howdy neighbor!" I live just around the corner so I'll have to come see your booth in person and smell those lovely candles sometime!

[@PattiJGood]

Thanks Dawn, that's awesome neighbor.

[@kathyroberts9703]

[@dianakimball5278]

Wholly cow Patti - what don't you do?! You must have the energy of 10 women! Your craft booth looks FABU and all the extras that you do definitely adds a lot of WOW factor. Great tips, even for crafters who don't sell their items but give as gifts, to add extra bling to packaging.

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you so much!

[@mermaid2997]

I did my first craft shows last year and had a blast ! I love your video - wish I had it last year ❤ thank you!!

[@PattiJGood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShantesTravelThings]

i've been to over 20 craft fairs last year and i still watch these types of videos like i don't already know. lol. great tips for the newbies though.

[@PattiJGood]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ScrapCatStudio]

THANK YOU! So far I do only medieval fairs but your information can help me take it to another level. Best craft fair tips I've seen so far.

[@YayasWhimsicalBrush]

THAT WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO! You make it look easy!

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you! 😊

[@craftyfox1959]

Great tips, thank you. I have an extra small fold up table in the back of my big table to use as a utility table. I also have a covered shelf in the middle of my big table that I hide my cash box and other stuff under the shelf. I don't do outside shows, but if I do, my husband can watch my table. Inside, the vendors are back to back, so our stuff is safe, and we get tables and chairs, too. And again, I hide my box. But again, great tips are worth exploring some of them.

[@PattiJGood]

That's a great idea to hide you cash box under a shelf. If I set at my table I could do that. I only do inside shows also. I worry about the weather.

[@anndean6014]

[@arleneottaviano4102]

Ah, Patti. I wish I had known about you before I left Texas. I would have definitely visited your booth. You certainly have everything covered and your inviting display shows your thoughtfulness. I used to do trunk shows when I had my hand dyed yarn business. I very much miss the customer interactions. I know your shows will be very successful! Thank you for your good advice and generosity in sharing.

[@PattiJGood]

Thank you so much. I think the most fun part of a craft fair is the interaction with customers.
