So happy you did well at the market. I agree with you that you should just focus on the flowers to set yourself apart from other stall holders. The stall looked fantastic, sending lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much - especially when there are lots of crochet-related booths I think I definitely will. Thank you for watching!

[@gailjames6489]

Less others, and your self and more of your products at the market.

[@craftzebra]

Looks like you did really well! I've said it before and I'll say it again. What a brilliant idea to have build your own bouquet. So happy for you! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!! I was a little worried about the logistics of it but it turned out okay!! Thank you for the support as per usual 🫶🏻💕

[@joethewolf3750]

I really like the flower shop theme and the commitment to it. The apron, the bouquets, all of it just has such a nice atmosphere.

[@toesmakesthings]

i’m about to do my first market in a couple weeks and binging your videos has been calming so many of my anxieties!!

[@madewithapril]

You got this! Take your time and have fun with it!!

[@tmgha6876]

You’ve inspired me to try crochet flowers! Beautiful work!

[@madewithapril]

Go for it! Thank you!

[@b.c.2313]

It comes off that most crochet creators are just so confident or outspoken just really people people..lol so it was honestly so validating that though you had stress and anxiety you still did really well with an amazing idea. It just really helped me seeing this so I appreciate you feeling open enough to share your experience ❤ b

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha thank you! I am a nervous gworl

[@joannebelair7368]

I absolutely fell in love with your whole flower bouquet idea! Your work is beautiful! I just bought a few of your patterns and I’ll be making one for my mother and mother in law for Mother’s Day 😊. Any tips for a first bouquet ??

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much! Don't be stressed about making little mistakes, if you make a decent number of flowers it'll be hidden in the bouquet! You'll get better with practice too!

[@JingoCrochet]

Love it all!! Can't wait to see more crochet and market vlogs!! 🥰

[@madewithapril]

Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@madewithapril]

[@annmarieacosta1343]

Hi April so cute 🥰

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!!

[@aisyiyahraia7912]

Whaaattt... This is also my dream, having people customized their own bouquet🥺

[@tracisewing2528]

Great job!! I have the same tan dog as you!

[@madewithapril]

Thank you haha

[@KaylaMah]

Hi April 😍 I’m sad the crochet plants aren’t selling that well bc they’re so cute :(

[@madewithapril]

Thanks Kayla!! 🌷 💐🍓✨️🩷💀🪻🌸

[@francescaadams1205]

you should sell flower hair clips they would be super cute and fill up the stall

[@madewithapril]

Hehe I'm actually working on some for the next one! 👀

[@pallor17]

That's why I don't offer local pickup anymore for my business. Because people can't keep appointments and it's so frustrating. So anyone who doesn't want to pay shipping, takes a walk. Too bad. I've had people cancel on me because their babies were sleeping. I'm like, would you do that to your dentist? But I guess people figure that if you are a business, you're not a priority. So basically because of the few people who didn't respect my time, everyone has to pay for shipping now.

[@madewithapril]

Definitely, I've cancelled plans before because I had multiple people picking up at a certain time and somehow none of them actually showed up in the time range they said they would 😭 it's hard when they've already payed so you're on the hook to still meet them when they are chronically late or change their schedules all the time

[@amandajane4855]

I love your flower booth! It's adorable. Congratulations on a great turn out! Do they have a list of vendors by chance? I saw a crochet dress that I'd love to check out / the owner's garments.

[@madewithapril]

Thank you! They do on instagram.com/CutiesClub.Ca Regarding the crochet dress, it's probably either of the following! instagram.com/euphorbia.co/ instagram.com/theartofloveofficial/

[@amandajane4855]

@@madewithapril Thank you so much!

[@hobbymoth]

So glad it was a success! The build your own bouquet is so cute. It seems like you do a lot of markets, I hope you take some time to rest as well. Have you been making friends with some of the other vendors in your area?

[@madewithapril]

I've been taking time to rest by working less at my dayjob bahaha 😅 I have!! It's so crazy but I'm having lots of fun!!

[@MaeleeDarling-wd1yf]

What flowers sell the best for you? You’re so motivating as someone who wants to do markets 🩷🩷🩷 Have you ever made daffodils? And if you have, what pattern did you use? I love your channel sm 🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻💐

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much!! It's usually lavender and forget-me-nots that sell best for me! I haven't made daffodils yet but definitely interested in making some eventually! Thank you so much for the support 😭🫶🏻

[@michsjournal]

Your flowers are so pretty! i also crochet and I definitely know how long flowers take to make lol. How do you find markets to attend? In my area I've only heard of farmers markets, and those are pretty much only for produce, I really want to attend an event like this and maybe even become a vendor at some point

[@madewithapril]

Of course! It's different for everyone but I have a Q&A video where I talk a bit about it! If you have any unanswered questions leave them on that video!

[@speedlearner]

Good evening. Did you make all the crochet flowers yourself? Approximately how many people attended the craft fair? How many booths did you see at the craft fair? What unique items did you see at the craft fair?

[@madewithapril]

Yes I made everything myself! I'm not sure how many people attended but there were 40+ vendors!

[@Mc_draw]

What do you use for the stems?? I’ve been trying to make flowers forever

[@madewithapril]

I use floral wire! These are the ones I use: amzn.to/3mX4ex0

[@Yumiebear_]

hi there, i was wondering where you got your banner made? or if you made it? its so pretty.

[@madewithapril]

Thank you! It's designed on canva and printed via vistaprint! I cut the edges at the bottom with scissors haha

[@Yumiebear_]

@@madewithapril thank you so much. I’ve been looking around and google doesn’t help lol. Also excited to see what else you make 💕

[@star0heart]

Hi! I loved your video so much !! Where was this market located? And what was it called? :) I want to be a vendor at a market this summer, it’ll be my first time!

[@star0heart]

Do you also have tips on how to find a good market nearby being a crochet shop?

[@madewithapril]

This is in Calgary Alberta, thee Cuties Club Market! Definitely look on instagram and news networks for local markets!

[@yena643]

Where do you edit your vlogs? It's so pretty

[@madewithapril]

I use MovAvi!

[@zarablue7300]

Could you talk about how you find markets and become a vendor in one of your videos? :o

[@madewithapril]

Yes I have a Q&A video where I talked about this!

[@sewali8839]

Could you please share where you got your banner? I want one with the scalloped edge for my booth but can’t find anyone who makes them :(

[@madewithapril]

Hii! I made it myself, just cut a scalloped edge on a regular banner!

[@vidotter]

😅 small talk/ selling is so much work ugh 😅just buy the beautiful things that you can never make on your own - already 😊 love the awning and it’s so great that you have a complete concept. People need all the help they can get and they love having an experience.

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha thank you! For sure, I think I will definitely will be going fully with the flower shop concept from now on to make sure it's cohesive!

[@kirieuzumaki7535]

Definitely doing this when I get expert level! 💐🩷

[@madewithapril]

Good luck!!

[@VhieHappy]

can you share what type of crochet yarn you use? thank you!❤

[@madewithapril]

I use a mix of craftsmart and bernat acrylic yarn and milk cotton yarn!

[@HeidiFetzer]

Where did you get the flower patterns from

[@madewithapril]

Most of them are my own designs!

[@alyssamonaco4165]

Do you have a pattern for the cactuses or is it freehand?

[@madewithapril]

Sorry it's freehand 😅

[@rockwaves4015]

I have 🙋‍♀️ questions , very sorry i know this is very stupid thing to ask but i am international student in US i want to sell my little hair accessories … where i can sell that like you did … is this a proper market or it’s event type something can you please explain where i can sell ❤ and lot of love …. Your efforts are really amazing also you shared other market view too ❤❤ … that’s kind of supportive things …. Appreciate😊

[@madewithapril]

It will be different depending on where you're located, I look for craft fairs, markets and farmers markets accepting local vendors!

[@kyoongie]

woahhh 6:17 cutie alert 😜

[@madewithapril]

HAHAHA shes in the thumbnail too that girl awooga awooga 👀

[@carolbattle8010]
