[@jeannethomas6965]

What wonderful ideas you have. Love the gifts for dogs. Thank you.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Jeanne, I always remember the pets when I send care packages. They are some of my best sellers at craft fairs too. I make a lot of things for dogs and need to step it up for cats.

[@takehomeahottie]

Absolutely the cutest item of the season!!! Adorable!!!

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks. Are you referring to my Tic-Tac Snowmen? I love those. Sorry I had to whisper through the video. The family was sleeping and I was burning the midnight oil.

[@mamachicken1548]

Love your craft fair ideas! TFS.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks for your comment Mama Chicken. I love sharing and hope to make another video for this year's craft fairs because I have come up with even more stuff to share this year.

[@sandypeiker5319]

Great ideas so many to make don't know where to start. Love the snowman from the tic tacs.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Sandy. Here is my first video about how to make the larger Tic-Tac treats. I'm making a video on the smaller treats here as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57Eiadueb59mNk

[@cecieliasinclair5323]

What great ideas. I foster kittens and am always looking at ways to fund raise. You have given me lots of ideas. The nugget holders are great except the nuggets are the cost of gold in the UK, so will have find a substitute. Thank you for all the inspiration and the great tutorials on the Scan n Cut.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. Maybe they are the cost of gold because they look like little gold nuggets! Lol. Yes, you can cover a lot of candies with pretty papers to dress them up. Thanks for fundraising and fostering our furry friends. You are a good person.

[@ireneherrera-shan7272]

[@jopaull4436]

great ideas and so well put togeather, I loved them all would like have your blogs to look at also and where got some supplies and how put togeather. Thank you for sharing

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Jo, my blog is: thepaperedchef.com - you can sign up therefor my updates and newsletters. The blog is searchable and only about the last 6 or 8 posts are displayed on the home page. There are hundreds of projects on there that I shared over the years.

[@gloriahealey5715]

i want to go to your blog!

[@PaperedChef]

Here is the link to my blog. Thanks for watching! thepaperedchef.com

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Very nice.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Gretchen! I’m sitting here making them right now to prepare for a Craft Bazaar. I amusing tiny red rhinestones for their mouths because I don’t have enough coal.

[@gretchenarrant8334]

@@PaperedChef our bazaars at the senior rd center was cancelled. We c ok mplained..they did no advertising. 15 to enter..I didnt even make that the f iij rst year.everyone was upset and complained so instead of fixing it, they just cancelled. I had alreadg bought much to make. I did ok last year but if you're going to sponsor an event, you have to advertise, right. You have so many wonderful things to sell. I wish for you that you sell everything!! I saved your video to watch again later, I just enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing. Where are you located? I'm in North central Texas.

[@PaperedChef]

Gretchen, that’s such a shame. You can still make items for gifts and random acts of kindness.Yes, advertising is key. I don’t think they should charge people to go buy stuff. I’m based in Georgia but that is not where I’m currently located.

[@lateganterrell]

Very pretty crafts. I subscribed immediately. Can't wait to learn more from you.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Lategan, here is a link to a video on coffee related crafts. More videos to come. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apq2c2uPo7Vki9k

[@dinahsoar6982]

Very cute items. The video was darker than usual. Made it a bit hard to see. A tip for you: the pet Santa hats fit perfect on candle jars. I got the idea from the Yankee Candle shop, saw the $15 price tag on their hats and gulped. Went to Dollar Tree and bought a pet hat instead. I'm thinking you might display one on a candle jar (they fit the Walmart candle jars with lids too) and have the hats for sale at your booth. They are one dollar, you could sell them for $2. No work for you if you have them in a cute basket, no packaging needed. 100% profit if you don't count your time going to the store to buy them

[@PaperedChef]

Dinahsoar Awesome tip about the Pet Santa hats! I love Dollar Tree. Thanks.

[@PaperedChef]

Dinahsoar I think it was at 3 AM the night before my craft fair so it was darker and quieter than usual.

[@mariezettlemoyer5440]

How bout a black ribbon and gold buckle around box with santa hat? Love all these things.

[@PaperedChef]

Marie Zettlemoyer Thanks Maria! That’s a great idea because it would look cute and hold the box together.

[@gingernotturno5365]

you have such cute things

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks so much! This was last year when I was burning the midnight oil. I since created two videos on how to create these Tic-Tac Snowmen.

[@tcla3854]

Great video...you're so talented

[@PaperedChef]

T Cla Thanks for your comment and for watching my video. I love crafting!

[@RavensOnBudget]

Love these ideas! How do you determine what to charge for everything?

[@PaperedChef]

I used to guess and now I have a Craft Fair Calculator. Here it is in action. You can get it from my ETSY store which is linked in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZCbl5uibbiKeqs

[@TheStarfish9]

Hello there, I just love all your fantastic fair items that you’ve made. I was wondering what you put inside the black pillow boxes. Thank you so much for such great ideas. Anita

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Anita, I put all kinds of goodies in those pillow boxes. One Tootsie pop fits diagonally and helps give the box its shape. I also add Tootsie Rolls, Mini Mentos, mini caramels, individually wrapped mints or Lifesavers, and Hershey Nuggets. You can even wrap the nuggets in coordinating papers. The same instant Starbucks coffee that I put into these treats also fit in the pillow boxes. I add them when I'm giving the boxes to coffee lovers. thepaperedchef.com/starbucks-instant-coffee-christmas-treats

[@janetnieves5056]

All are really nice

[@PaperedChef]

Janet Nieves Thanks so much. I had to whisper when I recorded this during the wee hours of the night.

[@disneydiningathome7338]

How did you add the snowman face on the nugget treats? The stamp set has that face inside a circle, but yours doesn't. Did you cut the stamp to make it work? Did you do that with the buttons also?

[@PaperedChef]

Hello, I used a retired stamp set called Snow Place for the faces and buttons on those Nugget treats.

[@donnaboucher684]

hi I cant find how you did ur snowman toc tac.

[@PaperedChef]

Hi Donna, here is the Tic Tac Snowman tutorial and I have a couple of others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJauZHpmi9yJgdk

[@shirleyjacobs4497]

Can you let me know what your blog is. I am having my first craft show this Dec and I am really nervous.

[@PaperedChef]

Shirley Jacobs Thanks for watching. My blog is: thepaperedchef.com Scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see a place to search. Search for nuggets, etc. My Hershey Nugget Treats are some of my best sellers.

[@michelechard2415]

Such great ideas. Can you tell me how you attach toppers to your candy in the cellophane bags? I have just stapled them on but I don't see the staple marks on yours.

[@PaperedChef]

Michele Chard Thanks Michelle. My toppers are 1.5” by 5” and 2” by 5.” I score them at 2.5” and attach them with rolling adhesive. I never use staples.

[@TheCraftyTexan]

I love your ideas and understood that you had instructions on your blog but I'm not having any luck finding them! Help

[@PaperedChef]

ladylookn It’s been a while but here are some of my archives. I may not have documented every like I had plans so this year, I can pick up where I left off. thepaperedchef.com/category/christmas-winter

[@ladylookn]

It was the lip balm holders, in your video you mentioned that you had directions on your blog. I went to your link but didn't find them. :(

[@PaperedChef]

I had good intentions to type up all of my instructions which I had written all over sticky notes. Then, life got in the way and some of the instructions feel through the cracks. Sorry about that. Here is a link to my latest tutorial on how to create some larger Snowman Tic-Tac treats using the Brother ScanNCut. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57Eiadueb59mNk

[@astridhaviland5759]

Very cute ideas, how much do you sell the nuggets for, thanks in advance

[@PaperedChef]

I go to mostly community craft fairs and even flea markets. I can get away with selling the nuggets for $4 each or 2 for $7 at an actual craft fair or bazaar and for $3 each or even 2 for $5 at a flea market. Sometimes, I do special orders and when they buy in bulk, I will sell them for $3 each. If I were to sell them on Etsy where there are fees and a lot of overhead and time involved, I would sell them for $5 each. You just have to judge your market. Also, keep an eye out for deals which will keep your costs down. For example, you can go into a CVS and get the Nuggets on sale while using coupons and getting extra value bucks back. You can also buy larger bags of Nuggets from Amazon (my links are included in the description). Those save you $ because you are buying them in bulk and if you are a Prime member, you can get free shipping. I also use my Brother ScanNCut to mass produce the Nugget wrappers and I have videos on how I do that too.

[@PaperedChef]

Crafty Lady Lisa Thanks for watching!

[@jdghormley]

I enjoy your videos, always filled with so many great ideas. This one was a bit too dark. I couldn't see the last item at all. I'd love to see more scan and cut videos. I received one and I just haven't even opened the box. I love how you've used it to cut the SU DSP. Merry Christmas and good luck at your craft fair.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Jen. It was the middle of the night before the craft fair and the house was dark but since that box was one-of-a-kind with the glitter, I didn't bring it with me. I will add it to one of my other videos so that you can see it. More Scan N Cut videos to come. Please check out these links to get started. There are videos embedded in most of these blog posts and you can go back the the previous page for more. thepaperedchef.com/category/brother-scan-n-cut

[@kryscoffman2885]

Ur snowmen definitely need mouths 👄

[@PaperedChef]

Krys Coffman Thanks for your comment. They look cute both ways. Sometimes I add the little circles for coal and it gets so tedious.

[@125000000]
