Huge Market Prep Vlog: Crocheting, Inventory, & Custom Safety Eyes Painting

Hi friends! There is about a months worth of content packed in this market prep video that spans the month of June! I spent SO much time editing this video, and putting it together so I hope you guys love it :)
I'll be going through my inventory, putting together and organizing new displays, shipping orders, and painting safety eyes to sell at the market! TONS of stuff going on, and there will be a bunch more coming as I continue to prepare for my BIGGEST market yet: a 3 day market in October that is the largest and most popular in the state!

Hi karis, i made the pig using your pattern. It came out so cute and it was so easy to follow and so quick. Thank you. 😊

[@reigningcharmz]

@@katrinamalcolm8727 aw yay so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

Thanks for the video! I would love another video where you let us know how to paint safety eyes and where to get all the supplies.

[@teacheraprilrogers]

I am a teacher and I teach knitting and crochet online to kids ages 6 to 18 for extra income. I teach mostly1v1 classes.After my students learn the basics crochet they usually want to make amigurumi. I appreciate all the amazing free patterns and tutorials available. The kids get two learn how to read a pattern I then teach them how to create a cute little card to attach to the that credits the pattern designer abd links to their socials or website.II can't even imagine trying to do An Affair of the Headt. It has been years since I attended and no thank you. I hope you do amazing.

@@teacheraprilrogers aw that’s awesome!! And thank you so much☺️

[@Thrivingplantz]

I love the pig! Sooo cute. It’s nice to see someone who’s experienced at something admit that they still make mistakes too. 😊 the way you make the glitter eyes is really neat. Thanks for sharing. ☺️

[@maverickschick14]

Ahh, that's exciting! I went to apply.... and saw the price for the booths. I'm not to that level yet, haha, but that's exciting for you! Good luck, and if I do make it up there (I'm in southern OK), I'll pop by to see your booth 🥰

[@reigningcharmz]

@@maverickschick14 that would be awesome!! Yesss the price is a LOT lol it took me about 3 years to finally be at this level and I still feel like I might fall a little bit short😅

I would looovvvevevev if you made a video about how to paint safety eyes😊😊😊

[@erinlee920]

Love the craft fair prep vlogs! I know you put heaps of effort in and the video is great quality but may I suggest that the music you select for the timelapse segments is a bit more gentle like the one where you packaged up the dino? I and probably a lot of people enjoy watching your vlogs to relax and it's jarring and grating to have the video loud enough to hear you talk then suddenly the techno starts. Again, love the vlogs ❤

[@kristynpack5338]

What about trying chain loops for the hair on the unicorn? Sl st into where you want the mane to start, chain out like 10, sl st back to body, repeat until the mane is how you like it. Then you could do shorter chains the same way for the tail.

[@reigningcharmz]

@@kristynpack5338 thank you for the suggestion! I actually tried something like that and it just ends up being too thick still. Maybe I can try with an acrylic yarn!☺️

[@Mychainoflove]

I love how you DIY your eyes. The idea of selling them to other crocheters to help them out is such a good idea. When I use those eyes, I also buy the paper/ fabric backing that is already colored. You can maybe try that next time instead of painting them!

[@reigningcharmz]

@@Mychainoflove thank you! A lot of the tips I’ve read is to not use those paper backings because they aren’t safe to be washed in the washer in case the plushie needs washed (presumably because it’s paper and will soak up the water). So I think that’s why people try to paint them instead ☺️

[@cozyboopie]

Can I ask where you bought your wire basket wall display from? I'd love to have one for my booth :)

Also, how many skeins of yarn did tou use for one dragon?

[@reigningcharmz]

@@Made_by_Allishay I use one skein for the main color and a little bit of another for the wings, and 1/2 skein of fluffy yarn for the fur

[@Made_by_Allishay]

@reigningcharmz ok thanks, I'm gonna try to make one!!!😁

[@shumailashoaib-po8lu]

I want to know about big elephant pattern plz

[@reigningcharmz]

by ToyStoryPatternsAU on etsy, and i used a really thick yarn and matching hook

[@dayanacee3939]

I’m currently trying to make a dragon and I need help with the body so bad how do you branch off from making the tail to the body??

[@reigningcharmz]

@@dayanacee3939 the pattern increases as you go to form the body so it’s all one continuous piece ☺️

[@linneaketcher9177]

What yarn did you use to go down Winnie's back? I've made one of her and I want to make more!

[@reigningcharmz]

faux fur yarn from michaels!

Sorry, typo, what do you charge for your Winnies?

@@jasemeal7849 I used to charge $55 at markets, but I felt that was too low considering how long they take to make so now I am going to charge $65☺

Can you share where you found the Sinker Eye backings? I bought eyes that came with the flat backing and I can't find the bowl shaped backings anywhere.

I'm looking for the backings only. I have plenty of eyes that are not usable because of the wrong backings. The search goes on. Thanks for responding..​@@reigningcharmz

Your purple tissue paper…is it colourfast?

[@reigningcharmz]

@@ritax8411 not sure tbh! I get it off Amazon ☺️

[@ritax8411]

@@reigningcharmz Just a little worried that if it’s not colourfast the dye could rub off onto your lovely plushies. Try rubbing dry then damp tissue paper ( incase the box get wet) onto a sample swatch to make sure. I’d love a tutorial on painting safety eyes, the blue ones are amazing! ✨

[@reigningcharmz]

@@ritax8411 oh okay, thank you! I’ll check that out and see! And awesome I’ll start working on it☺️

Do you think 1300 dollars worth of plushies is enough for a market in a small town??? Its also my first market...

[@reigningcharmz]

@@Made_by_Allishay yes! Definitely try to prepare as much as you can for any market you do, but that should be just fine☺️
