Fabric Greeting Cards
I am old enough to remember padded fabric cards that used to be the posh cards you purchased for special people, they were usually boxed, and cost a great deal more than the other cards in the shop
I had a eureka moment a couple of weeks ago, which resulted in trying a new version of the fabric cards. My cards updated the idea as the fabric had fun sayings .
These are 8” scalloped edge cards.

I shall try them out at my last Fayre this year and I hope they sell well as I would really like to expand the idea.
Pricing is one of the most difficult areas when selling your crafts. If you are a crafter making items to sell as a means of income then your prices have to reflect the materials used and the time you spend to make it, this is a a whole different area to my selling for charity. There is no pressure to make a profit, and yet, you have to consider pricing just as much. Price items too low and customer may underestimate the quality of the item, price too high and customers will walk away. These cards if purchased in a store would probably cost around £4 - £5 but I do not think they will fetch that at the small fayres I attend. I am pricing them at £3.50, or 2 for £6.
Once I have finished my last Fayre in December I will post the results for this years sales. I think I already know the best seller.
Happy Crafting
