Whether an event is indoors or out, you shouldn't need more than an hour to set up. If it takes longer, rethink your booth.

Cashing in on the crafts circuit can be both profitable and fun when you approach selling crafts as a business.

Selling Crafts as a Home Business

Selling handicrafts on a show circuit is not a lifestyle for those who get shaky if the pay-check isn’t the same every month. But for people who crave independence, thrive on variety, prefer to work at home, and have some capacity for self-discipline, it’s an ideal way to earn a living.

Best of all, trying out craft-show selling can be as simple as setting up a card table at a flea market. However, turning that simple beginning into a small business that will support you will take a good bit more planning.
