20+ Quick & Easy Makes for Easter and Spring for your Craft Business

Happy Valentines everyone, I hope that you are being treated like Princesses or Princes, or you are least treating yourself today.

Right, so we are all getting pretty bored of the winter weather (not that it’s that bad in the UK right now) I miss those warm sunny days, dresses, and sandals. Now is the time (if you haven’t made a start already) to start gearing up to the warmer months. If you can, it’s perhaps a good idea to discount your wintery stock or shelve it for next fall/winter to make way for lighter brighter colours and themes.

Start having a look around on the web for what’s going to be hot in summer 08 in the craft and fashion world. I always think whether you are a follower of fashion or not (I’m not personally) it’s a good to keep abreast of what’s going on. Even if you don’t give a ‘monkey’s about the fashion world it doesn’t hurt to have a few easy to make and small in size accessories that reflect current trends. For instance my shoe designer friend (yes that right girls, my friend designs ladies shoes for a living!) tells me that Nautical is going to big this Summer. So we could for instance make nautical flavoured wallets, tote bags, jewelry, prints, t-shirts, stationary etc. All of which don’t require a large outlay and therefore, should be easier to sell.
