How to Make BANK Selling Amigurumi Crochet at Markets + Best Selling FREE Patterns

[@lisapettit7403]

Thanks for the great tips! My favourite season is summer. I love the lazy days in the sun (well, under a tree or gazebo), the smell of barbecuing, and not having to worry about bundling up to go outside.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@lisapettit7403 there is a lot to love about summer! The worst part of summer though is the bugs 😅 mosquitos seem to think I’m an all-you-can-eat buffet

Your plushies are adorable. Congratulations on such a successful market! Thank you for all you information, I love your signs. Winter is my favorite season, it's actually difficult for me to pick because Autumn is such a close second. I live in the midwest and while I don't enjoy shoveling snow, I love the quietness of it. It has a beauty with its limited colors and feeling of expectations.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@whalesong813 welcome!! I hope you are safe in this upcoming winter storm we have coming Sunday night. I think we’re supposed to be in white out conditions here.

I sell the smaller loaf cats (made with Posh) for $20 and the large ones for $45 using Bernet blanket. They sell like mad! Orange, Black, and White ones sell the best.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@SecretWindowBoutique interesting that your orange cats sell well! They were my least selling ones aside from all white. I’m sure it just depends on the clientele at the market since most people want a loaf cat that looks like their real cat. The tuxedo cats are for sure my best seller!

[@Ashes_lit]

I only sell online thus far and yep, the calicos sell first every time here too Edit: oh wow, my prescribed medication works (cannabis) bahahaha I didn’t realize you meant separate cats omg 🤦‍♀️ and yep I could have just deleted this so I didn’t look like such a dumbass BUT ain’t no smiles in that lol 😂❤😊

[@SecretWindowBoutique]

@@TheCelestialHomebody T hat could be! I talk a lot about my Orange and of course have lots of photo's of him (cuddled up to my orange loafs even lol) to share.

Wonderful insight! I feel like the medium you're using is another reason it moved so well. You was one other craftsperson doing the same thing, and I know I don't see anything like this anywhere around Jackson. Hundreds of thousands of art prints, but much fewer - yet much more expensive - physical 3d interactable crafts. I'd expect to see most of the things you sold here for easily double the price online, personally. I know your work, and it's all made with so much love. Also, I'm with you on Autumn, now that I live in a place that has more than 1 season per year!

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@arnoldberry9431 I have wanted a 3D printer for a while, but you’re so right… there is SO much market saturation in that space. By the time I surpass the learning curve and get my bearings with it, I doubt that medium will be desirable. It was important to us to move to a place that experienced all 4 seasons which is why we love the Midwest! And hey… if you don’t like a season, it will be over in a few weeks! I can stand the humid summers knowing fall is right around the corner!

[@Connie.the.Crocheter]

Love the signs! All your makes are adorable!

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@Connie.the.Crocheter thank you!! 🩵🩵🩵

[@Monique_Monigurumi_designs]

Great job! Keep in mind that something may not sell at one market but fly off the table at another

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@Monique_Monigurumi_designs for sure! I’m actually planning to make a video about that. After doing a few markets now, I have a good idea what are steady sellers.

[@Monique_Monigurumi_designs]

@@TheCelestialHomebody just subbed so looking forward to new videos :)

[@mcg6241]

I love your signs, they are so cute!

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making them. :)

[@Llamaeater1995]

Such a crazy market, and way to hot for being pregnant! My favorite season is pumpkin spice season! 🎃 It may not be a season you can find on the calendar, but it’s a real thing lol

@@Ashes_lit welcome and thank you! I’m planning on making a video soon THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to markets! I’ve done a few now and think I have some good ideas to share about what you need, bestsellers, etc. so keep an eye out for that video! I wish you the very best of luck on your market! I’d love to see your setup if you want to send me a DM on insta @thecelestialhomebody 🩵🩵🩵

[@DeannaCrochetMagician]

I loved your video. Very informative. I like fall too, but also summer for garden growing.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@DeannaCrochetMagician thank you so much for watching! What do you grow?

[@DeannaCrochetMagician]

@@TheCelestialHomebody We grow vegetables for canning. Such as tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, carrots, squash, okra. I also raise chickens, goats, pigs and cattle. I love to crochet. I have been crocheting since I was 10. So umm over 50 years. Crochet has changed a lot. I want to do a KZbin channel someday. When I have more time. Still work fulltime as well.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@ I’ve always been interested in canning but I have a black thumb 😢 You totally should start a channel! People newer to the craft have so much to learn from you!

[@DeannaCrochetMagician]

@@TheCelestialHomebody Thank you for the encouragement!!!!!!

[@leannintexas9410]

Congrats on your channel and market success! Would love to see your technique on the gummy worms and specifically the hair roller item that you use on the inside. Such a cool idea. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing your future videos!

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@leannintexas9410 thank you so so much for your support!! I will definitely do a tutorial on the gummy worms!

[@maryelgin9919]

Hi. My favorite season is Autumn. I live in Florida so there aren’t any season changes where I am. Loved your video. Signs are great! Congrats and welcome

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@maryelgin9919 I suppose in Florida there are 2 seasons - hurricane season, and humid 😅 Thanks for watching, Mary!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Hello, just found you. I am from the Midwest, too! 😊 Michigan. How ‘bout you? Nice to meet you! What a cute dog!! Can you share which yarn and hook size you use for your gummy bears? Thanks so much. I’ve made them before with parfait chunky but they came out pretty small.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@Pocketsnuggies hi and welcome! To do the gummy bears, I use a 5.5 hook with parfait chunky but I did try using jumbo yarn (those are the big ones seen in the video) with a 12 mm hook so you absolutely can!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@@TheCelestialHomebodyThanks! I haven’t tried the jumbo yet nor a huge hook like that. I just might! Thank you. And thanks for the idea about the rollers. I’ve done gummy worms with pipe cleaners so this is a great idea. Do you use parfait chunky with those too?

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@ yes I do. And those are great scrapbusters!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@@TheCelestialHomebody I went today to get the rollers at the dollar tree. Do you use the ones that are like five or 6 inches or the ones that are longer and skinnier like 8 inches? Thx.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@ I use the longer ones! But recently my dollar tree has been out so I ordered a 50 pack on Amazon. They are way too long though 😅

[@valeriem.5938]

Beautiful items! I am concerned your prices are way too low. Are you sure you’re profitable after factoring in supplies and all materials? Other than your chicken nuggets, your prices are about half of what they should be. Also, keeping in mind signs you made and all market supplies should also be factored into your prices. Sorry, not trying to be mean just trying to help based on experience. You and your craft are so much more valuable than this. ❤

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@valeriem.5938 Thank you so much! 🩵🩵🩵 I live in a super rural farm town where this market took place, so I priced my items in a way that I knew people here would be able to afford. However, I do plan on vending at some larger conventions and festivals this year and will definitely be raising prices a tad. I don’t calculate pricing for items based on materials because I have SO much yarn so it’s like the money is already gone 😅 I usually calculate prices based on time. I pay myself $15 per hour but I’ll charge extra if I hated making it. You’re right- they are low!

[@ninjatabby25]

😂 maybe the dog don't like when you sead gummy worms

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@ninjatabby25 haha!

[@thecraftysparrow]

was that a dragon in your video? If so, who is the pattern by? Great video… Just followed.

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

@@thecraftysparrow thank you! Are you talking about the large sleeping dragon? It’s the Winnie dragon pattern by RedMillsCrochet on Etsy!
