[quote=Anonymous]In the summer, there is probably a local craft market within driving distance every week, with a reasonable stall fee.  My mother and stepfather make crafts and do this as a retirement “job”. They seem to do okay on sales, although I personally would not pay for their stuff (and get it for every holiday gift).

Or, as someone had said, knit and donate. See if there is a need for hats for newborns (my first child got a handmade hate a local nursing home group had donated and I loved it), something for babies in the NICU, blankets for babies, hats for pre-school kids in need or kids at a Title 1 school?. Some type of sensory toy for autism kids?

The donating looks great on a college app. And she can attach a card with her info to each one. Maybe some will appreciate the gesture and come back for a Commissioner good.

The other real option is to get a spot in craft guilds. In many you have to jury in. Or pay a Commission for a spot. But, it’s worth a try.

She can also have you give as gifts to new parents (baby blankets or clothes). Afghans/blankets for newlyweds.

In her demo, she might have the best luck making blankets or hats in college colors for grads. That would actually make a nice, unique gift.

Be sure to attach her info. If she wants to start a business, she may need to donate or give as gifts first, and give word of mouth some time. [/quote]
