How do you market homemade crafts?
I paint Halloween & starting a Christmas collection of pictures that I would like to sell, but have no idea where to begin. Any suggestions? I've included pictures so you can see my work.
I need an honest opinion...do you believe there is a market for what I am doing??? I'm finishing up a shabby chic christmas picture now, but not ready to post yet. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you looked into Etsy? I don't know the how it works, but it is a market place for homemade articles.
Join your local craft guild. Get booths at weekend flea markets, swap meets, arts and craft shows.
By the way, your painting is wonderful! Full of wimsey
Etsy is great for hamdmade crafts. You do need to open a store. Craft shows would be another place.
Very pretty! If priced right, should do quite well. Test the waters at local craft fairs and art and craft shows.
That's beautiful Wendy. I'm sure they'll sell real quick if you find the right craft market.
Locally, you can check out flea markets. Many schools hold craft fairs that you may be able to get table space. Facebook Marketplace is the new online thing for people to try if Etsy isn't working for you.
Thank you for your response! You gave me lots of options to consider. Merry Christmas!
Try Etsy.com
They take a commission, but it's a popular website with millions of followers.
Best of luck!
Lovely, I'd go straight to Etsy with your pretty designs. Your pieces will sell and you don't need to pay for booth space. Etsy's commision will be far less.
