Craft Fair Fun!

I had three craft fairs this holiday season and I must say that things went very well. People loved my creations, and I feel so proud and happy. It is just so refreshing to not talk about Math for a change (that's what I teach), and to listen to people telling me that my products are beautiful. Overall it was a lot of fun! I am definitely looking forward to doing more craft fairs next year.

Here is a picture of my table...
                               

I also had my very first custom order from a customer. One lady came to my table and asked me if I would make a cake (made of paper) for her birthday on December 12. It is a very rare date (12-12-12) and she is turning 56, which means that she was born in 1956. I agree that those numbers are pretty rare and special so she definitely should celebrate. She wanted a holiday theme, however, so this is what I came up with...

It is a paper cake with 12 slices (of course!!!), decorated with a holiday theme. I found this cute candy cane stamp at Michaels and decided to stamp the covers with it.

Here's a picture of one of the slices. Love glitter paper so I covered the bottom part of the cake slice with green glitter paper, plus added a ribbon accent around the lid.

 

 Love this part - I took some christmas ribbon and made it in to a little flower, then added a glitter button on top.

 

                           

 

Aside from the cake she also ordered some clothespin magnets (12 of them...see the ongoing theme here?) to put inside the cake boxes.





 

Here's a closer look...

 

 

I am so happy she loved all of them! 

 

This is an advertisement for my blog readers....if you guys want to order a cake like this just e-mail me a krmcrafts@gmail.com. I make these cakes for different occasions and they're $40 each. Just give me about two weeks to make one for you. The clothespin magnets are $1 each and again, I can make them according to your specifications.

 

Okay, gotta go to make more craft items...it's never too early to start, right? I have so many ideas in my head!

 

Take care, everyone!!!
