Any luck selling the tissue holders?
I am making things to sell at craft fairs this Fall/Winter and wonder if you are having any luck selling the Tissue Holders made from the tutorial on this board? They are so much fun to make I could make dozens of them. The problem is that I only have so many family members to give them to as gifts if I can't sell them. LOL! I would also like to know what you are able to sell them for with or without the tissue included. I would appreciate your input so I don't waste any time or money on them. Happy Quilting!

I made several for our Bazaar a couple years ago. With tissues, I marked them $2. Then, I gave them to my sisters and aunts at Christmas. It is so hard to predict what will sell at the Bazaar! I tell those who want to make things for the Bazaar - I do not know what will sell! Make your item and give me a price to charge. I refuse to make up prices anymore. I don't want to insult the crafters and I don't want to hear it after the Bazaar 'I priced it too high!" I've been our Church's Bazaar chairperson 26 years.

I had them priced at 1.00, a few sold, not many. I think the pattern as been out there too long and they are too popular for gifts. The people that come to craft shows also sew and know how easy they are.

A couple of years ago, I made tissue holders to be given as gifts at our ladies day apart. I used the tutorial on the board here. Check out my post with pics- '205 tissue holders-done'. They were not that much work, but that many took me a while. I would not make them to sell at $1or $2 each- not worth my time.

The last sale booth my guild had at a craft show we sold out of the different size snap bags but very few of the tissue holders.
My guild meets at a church so we made a big basket full of the tissue holders with tissues and it is set out in the vestibule when the church has a funeral.
