I love the way the white pots worked out for you. Your table reminds me of a fresh flower market in the city. Great look! WTG!!

[@madewithapril]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@hobbymoth]

I love your market vlogs so much! Especially when you take us along for snippets of your life too. The blind boxes are so fun

[@madewithapril]

hehe thank youu!! They seem to be really popular amongst vendors lately hehe

[@Swiftes.1989]

When you said to smell it I actually smelled it and I was like why did I do that

[@madewithapril]

HAHA i love that

[@mercedesQ]

Hi! Not sure if this would work or be practical, BUT…🤭 have you thought of possibly crocheting some type of cover “cozie” thing for the vases? It may add that layer of protection if they fall, will cover small cracks, and it’s crochet. I don’t know, just a thought 😊 Edit: you made a good choice, it looked really clean, cohesive, and the flowers stood out nicely! ❤

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much!! I totally would but I just have no time :( but I think with these new ones they're super flexible and bouncy so theres no way they would break even if they fell from super high!

[@theminimalistninja]

Your stall looked so cute! You inspired me to give crocheting flowers a try and I love it! It's not as finicky as I thought it would be and I really enjoy it! I find your videos very calming and really enjoy them :)

[@madewithapril]

Eeee isn't it fun hehe I feel like you can finish making one so much faster than clothingor a blanket or something so u get the feeling of satisfaction so much faster hehe

[@theminimalistninja]

@@madewithapril Totally! Even finishing one piece of it is so satisfying :) I don't have the patience for making blankets, ha! I also find flowers to be very forgiving .. if I make a mistake in one piece it's usually not visible when everything is assembled! :D

[@4rt3m1s-m00n]

Oooo! Well done on this market!The crochet items look so good!!

[@madewithapril]

Thank you! 😊

[@yexui]

THE GUY AND THE BUNNY SOOO CUTEEE!

[@madewithapril]

hehehe

[@Allegrararara]

I loveeee these longer videos!! I always crochet shock for markers while watching hehe

[@madewithapril]

Glad you like them! I kinda like making them longer instead of splitting them up hehe

[@ilonacrochets]

The new set up looks so cute! Also your nails are to die for!

[@madewithapril]

Hehehe thank you!!

[@lizcarter6938]

OK I don't crochet but I DO do markets. Is THIS option possible?? When you make your flowers leave a portion of the stem WITHOUT yarn and then whatever vase/bucket/can you choose put SAND down in it as opposed to rocks. Then you can put the unfinished part of the stem down in the sand. Also sand is heavy so I feel like since we use sandbags to hold down our canopy it would work for your buckets as well. Then when someone purchases you take your wire cutters and chop off the unfinished part of the stem. When you purchase "fresh" flowers they would cut the ends off. Just a thought like I said I don't crochet so I'm clueless how you make your product. Good Luck What if you got a short CLEAR tubby and put that on your table with the buckets inside it on your booth just like you were thinking about transport.?? After watching your videos and seeing how the tablecloth weights don't do crap and I am in a VERY WINDY area!! ok let's rephrase that I am in a EXTREMELY WINDY area as there is no trees or tall buildings to block the wind AT ALL!! I was thinking about sewing a seam on the bottom of my tablecloths/table runner and making a pocket to fill with sand at the bottom to hold them down so they don't blow up. Kinda like a built in beanbag/sandbag along the whole bottom of the tablecloth/runner.

[@madewithapril]

omg the sand idea is so fun - cutting off the ends makes them more like real flowers too!! The idea of transporting unsealed sand gives me a bit of anxiety tho ;; it's also super heavy!! I think if you could make them removable the beanbags/sandbags would work for the tablecloth but having it permanently attached makes it super annoying to put the table cloth on every time!! They also sell ones that attach to the bottom legs of your table but I just don't like the look of it hahaha

[@ohhellothere123]

I have been thinking of doing a market for a while! Thank you for showing the overall experience since it has helped me make a decision

[@madewithapril]

Ahh I'm so glad! I hope you decide to try it!!

[@ohhellothere123]

@@madewithapril I've been trying to look into that! My only setback is that im still pretty new to crochet (only a year of on and off) and lacking in supplies :(

[@ChantelleArts]

I've been seeing those baby figurines all over youtube it's crazy 😮 I'm not sure we can even get them in the uk

[@madewithapril]

hahaha im such a sucker for blind boxes i gave in so quickly ;; I've seen trading groups for the UK so maybe !!

[@custombellacreations]

For bins that are too wide you can use a green plant foam. You can place weights under the foam and stick the stems into it to keep it still? I hope that made sense lol 8:44 😅

[@madewithapril]

Unfortunately the foam ruins the tips of the stems over time :( Also they get really messy when people try to put them back into the bucket and then hit the foam and then stop trying to put them in all the way so they get all tippy :S

[@chubbychecker84]

I'm a big Fan I love your videos And I think flowers are super hard to crochet So that makes you super talented I crochet Stuffed animals

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much! It takes lots of practice - I'm still not good at making stuffed animals!!

[@pallor17]

Haha, you totally squirreled at the dog booth, lmao

[@madewithapril]

Hehehe anything for my children

[@traceybartlettart]

Your flowers are gorgeous.

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!!

[@oneofusiscrocheting]

You could probably put some sand at the bottom of the container and cut a circle out of white plastic and glue it over the sand. It should hold it down.

[@madewithapril]

I just hate using sand hahaha it spills and gets everywhere!! Even with the sandbags I use to keep my tent down, they're in sealed bags and somehow it's still EVERYWHERE

[@oneofusiscrocheting]

@@madewithapril or you could maybe use cement?

[@Wolfgirl1792]

Have you tried or bought a crochet basket? They are super cute and they would be easily collapsible

[@madewithapril]

They're a little too flimsy unfortunately!!

[@knotmaiyarn]

you could decoupage a container you like with tissue paper or whatever other design/color you want. Just an idea.

[@madewithapril]

Tissue paper flowers would be cute hehe

[@KelseyHubley]

Thanks so much for sharing your process! How much do you charge for your flowers?

[@madewithapril]

All my prices are per flower, you can find them on my website! www.madewithapril.com

[@deeradrole5854]

Love 💕 your work! Just curious do you use cotton or acrylic yarn ?

[@madewithapril]

I use a mix of both! Usually acrylic is cheaper tho so I try to use that more often if I can haha

[@mylifemychoice9250]

Also if your car gets too hot it will melt the hot glue and can cause problems for you. I live in Florida so we can’t leave anything in our cars

[@madewithapril]

omg I never thought about that, I'm in Canada so even when I say it's super hot it's never actually THAT hot (ie Florida hot hahaha) I'll have to keep that in mind though, good point !!

[@RowenasCreationsCo]

Maybe it might help if you use flower foam on the bottom.

[@madewithapril]

Flower foam is still too light :(

[@Te4spo0n]

I love your hat! Where did you get it from?

[@madewithapril]

It's by liliuhms! I got it from her at Anime Expo last year!

[@sarahnoda]

I suggest magnets, put strong magnets in the bottom of the vase and also underneath your table cloth!

[@sarahnoda]

ALSO, why not paint over the cute can that says "trash"? You could paint it and then add the word "Fleur" or "Fleurs"

[@madewithapril]

Ahh I actually tried that once but the bump of the magnet (strong ones are usually kinda big) makes it more wobbly! I was kind of just too lazy to do anything with it hahaha maybe it if was white, but the beige/off-white color would have been hard to paint match! I like the Fleur idea though!

[@sarahnoda]

@madewithapril I wouldn't waste time matching the color. You could either just paint that rectangle with a pretty pastel color, or alternatively spray paint the entire container with an off white, but 8 think painting the entire thing is more time consuming. I'd totally just tape off and paint the entire rectangle in different colors and then use a paint pen or stencils to write on each one.

[@elisaprout9007]

i can really smell the bubble tea

[@madewithapril]

hahaha you're welcome hehe

[@snakelover4905]

Wish it could watch this as it premieres but I will probably wake up at 10 ☹️

[@madewithapril]

Ahh it's okay!! Thank you for watching either way

[@JulezGirlz2621]

what camera do you use? also your flowers are to die for

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!! I use the Sony zv1

[@gratefulmama618]

what type of floral stem do you use for your flowers? 🌼 i have tried 2 different kinds on amazon but the longer ones do not come with as thick wire/stem as the shorter ones. they tend to be very bendy and hard to travel with when i do markets. if you could link it i would be forever grateful, but i am not from canada so i wonder if they will be available for USA!

[@madewithapril]

Hii I use a different brand everytime I order because they never seem to stay in stock, at least on AmazonCA. I check that they are at least 30cm long, and minimum 16gauge thickness! Any skinnier ans they will be too weak!

[@gratefulmama618]

@@madewithapril thank you so much! i have the same issue, they never stay thesame or stay in stock. but even with 16gauge wire stems i find my flowers to be top heavy :( wooden scewers are too thick, i have not found any work arounds.

[@kitncrochetstudio]

what if you used some sort of wood vases or baskets? :)

[@madewithapril]

I ended up using plastic since its cheapest and lightweight!

[@ramieluong6478]

How do you register to become one of the vendors, if you don’t mind I ask😅?

[@madewithapril]

Most markets have a website you can apply to and sign up!

[@mariacanales1870]

How about where you put champagne in buckets or cute basket like you just pick them….get them at the thrift store more economical…

[@madewithapril]

I've been seeing people on tiktok find all kinds of cool stuff at the thrift store, I def need to go scout it out more!

[@juliak2567]

Hi, can you tell me how tall is your flowers?

[@madewithapril]

30 to 40cm!

[@Lovelyme691]

Do your markets require you to have any sort of license

[@madewithapril]

None of the ones I have participated in have required a license!

[@priyankash241]

Did someone noticed yarny box was also

[@madewithapril]

I see her often!! We're in the same city!
