Craft Show Ideas - Stone Cold Profits

I will provide you a few ways to capitalize on the
stones and other hardened material like stones (glass, beads), and then
can take it and run with it from there. The beauty of this type of
craft is that you can find the stones you want inexpensively – and you
can hike up the profit margin. When you are buying the stones in bulk
for your craft show items, it makes it easy to keep the costs down and
the profit margin up!

Here are 3 ways you can incorporate stones into your craft show items:

1.)
Mosaics – Mosaics are a craft that allows you to create a picture or
design out of a variety of materials. You piece the stones and other
material and it looks like a patchwork of pieces that eventually comes
together to form a great picture. This art form is enjoying a
renaissance in the craft show world, and it might be time for you to
get involved.

2.) Jewelry – Everything from bracelets to
necklaces and even smaller, basic rings can be made. Depending upon
your experience making crafts and working with metals – you might be
able to create elaborate jewelry for craft shows. Once people show a
desire for your work, the popularity can spread like wildfire. Take
some time to find out what other people are making for jewelry – and
then come up with something completely original and you might just have
a craft show winner on your hands.

3.) Decorative pieces – You
can make stand alone decorative pieces from larger stones, or you can
use nice, polished and colored stones to trim your other craft show
creations. Stones make great highlights for some pieces – for example,
it could be trim on a birdfeeder or nice stones can be inset into
pottery. You can come up with a variety of ways to use the stones as a
part of another craft show item.

With the multitude of stones
available (and those that come in bead and colored glass), you can
surely make it a part of your craft show item. They are inexpensive and
they are versatile in their use. Why not add a little pizzazz to your
craft show booth and maybe even a few dollars to the bottom line by
working with stones.
