I did woodcrafts with my ex-husband, a few years back and I remember our first craft fair. It was a blast. It was very eye-opening too. We had no idea of what we were getting ourselves into (don’t get me wrong we had losts of fun, learned lots and made a lot more money than we had expected) but there is one great thing about the other marketers we found them to be very helpful.

Now for instance, we had made only 1 or 3 at the most of each product but we had over 40 different products.

We learned that instead of making so many different products, we needed to make our best sellers and lots more of them. Just know that you wont just have craft fair goers but you will also have the possability of meeting many shop owners who will want to purchase at least 6 to a full dozen of each product they like.

Just know that once you get that first show under your belt you are gonna love it from that moment on. Keep up with the trends for inspiration. There are many resources for that such as jewelery mags, teen mags and such (they are usually your best impulse shoppers)

Here is a great resource below:

I wish you much success and losts of $$ doing what your love to do. Check out the links on the site listed below. It’s loaded with information. I do websites so keep me in mind if interested: harrisstudios@yahoo.com

It has his initials on the top. I was wondering if and how long till it starts to tarnish? I also would like to know if there is a way to prevent tarnishing. and how do i clean it if it starts to tarnish.

depends on what silver you’re talking about…is it silverware? or jewelries? Because if you are talking about silverware it takes about 3weeks to a month before they tarnish but if you are referring to jewelries it depends on the acidity level of whoever is wearing the jewelry. Both sterling silverwares and sterling jewelries can be cleaned with a metal polisher named MASS (you can order it online) and it works great on silver and other metals as well. (if you can;t get it ASAP and really need it bad try toothpaste it worked for my jewelries) but try it on a small spot first to make sure your silver won’t have any bad reactions to the toothpaste

How much do you think it would be worth?

Do you know any good, liable online companies?

She does custom jobs. She calls it personal jewelry shopping. Like she’ll design what you want. She seems pretty affordable depending on what metal you want her to use.

Both ends are attached to the pendant and are not removable. The necklace is too long for me and the pendant hangs almost at my stomach level. I was wondering if there is any way to tie the cord via knots and such so that it can become shorter so the pendant can sit at collar bone level?

Thanks!

I have a corded necklace with an adjustment in the back. All you have to do, is fold the cord and slip a bead onto it so that a loop comes through on one side of the bead. Tie a knot large enough so that the bead doesn’t slip off. Put the pendant on around your neck and then just slide the bead (which is at the back of your neck) along the cord towards the pendant until it sits at the length you want. The loop will enlarge as the bead is slipped further down, but could be nice hanging down your back with a charm or another bead to weight it down.

So if i demand silver for my certificate, will they give me silver?

Unfortunately, no.

"In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver Certificates for Silver Dollars. In the 1970s, large numbers of the remaining silver dollars in the mint vaults were sold to the collecting public for collector value. Silver Certificates were abolished by Congress on June 4, 1963 and all redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968."

This is way too wide a question… what kind of materials do you want used? (glass, metal, polymer clay, real gems, etc.)

What style do you want (funky, elegant, retro, etc., etc.)

There are a bazillion types of beads and pendants, so you’d really need to narrow down what type you’re interested in.
