Oh Silly, I love your .gif! stealing it

That stocking probably cost the least to make since it doesn't have many embellishments. Like I said in my 1st post on this thread they, (http://tinyurl.com/b2ncl) are selling the stockings for around $100! (tree skirts for over $300!!!) I would never dream of selling them that high. Since I have never sold any of my handcrafted items I don't know what kind of price I would put on them. Personally I would probably not pay over $40 each. And yes I am now considering making and selling (thanks to the wonderful comments I have received on this thread).

I don't know TVCH policy on advertising things for sale. And I certainly do not want to break any rules here. TVCH has been too good to me for the past 5 years. So I would be happy to discuss this with you via email.

Right now I am getting my house ready to sell. I am moving back to my beloved state of Texas!!! YAY!!... So there is no way I could make more for this season. But for next Christmas it would be no problem.

My email address is in my profile.

Urgrace -- Yes you are probably right. I bet I did spend more making these ornaments than I could have bought them ready made.

The glass ornaments themselves were not that expensive. I think about $2 per box (6 heart shaped, 4 round). The iridescent paint was about $4 per bottle. I bought 2 different colors and have about 1/4 left in each bottle. Then I paid about $14 for the glitter and glue. I have quite a bit left of both of those. I will be glittering for a long time.

I really didn't do the ornaments to save money, I just needed something new to do.

Tera, there is a newly set up area in the main area called "community corner" for folks who have a product to sell. you can start a new thread for your particular wares. Take a look at what others are doing and I think you will be able to see how it works. Go here

Tera you have a great talent there. I loved both the stockings and the glitter ornaments. I wish I had some type of talent like that.

For those that sew crafts, do you use a full sewing machine? Can you recommend something smaller for someone like me, a person who isn't a sewer really, but knows how to operate a sewing machine but itsn't looking for some huge thing to add to their one bedroom apartment.

Suggestions welcome!

Wendo, I saw a pretty cute small sewing machine on HSN or maybe QVC, not sure which, recently. You might check there, it was only $20 or so, I was amazed.

I made these stockings two years ago and was planning on selling them at the Hallmark Store where some of my other crafts sell. I was selling them for $25 each. I was disappointed that I only sold one. (They made nice christmas gifts for friends though)

(I'm still figuring out how to resize pictures to post here...hope this is okay)



Here is just one in better detail...I hope.
