However, I have no idea how difficult it is to find used materials for making jewelry as I don't know anything about making jewelry. But with my craft I just use fabric, thread and polyfil, and the fabric i pick up for barely ANYTHING, literally 25 cents or 50 cents, when I find it at at yard sales and thrift stores. until two weeks ago i had NEVER bought fabric brand new, and even then i bought from the 'scraps' area at wal mart so I paid less than 5 dollars total for everything I did get. Where as a lot of the people I compete with buy brand new fabric that might be a few dollars a yard and I think this helps me keep my prices down and do much better. <br /><br />I can't imagine how difficult it must be to sell jewelry on etsy - as it seems that every other store, or even more than that, is a jewelry store. <br /><br />Good luck with sales!!EmmysBoosAndRawrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986680997598706499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997093703998948979.post-19577144411469592892009-12-30T16:46:36.252-08:002009-12-30T16:46:36.252-08:00wishing you a wonderful New Years Eve and year ah...wishing you a wonderful New Years Eve and year ahead as well!!<br />some good tips there...i need to learn to manage my process time...im such a slow crafter<br />and for my wholesale line, i really need to streamline that process as well!Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998009178493796361noreply@blogger.com
