I have made a few wedding runners (personalized and hand painted-1 of a kind) I made the first few for friends and family members to give as gifts...I would like to start possibly selling them...I tried ebbay...but that didn't work.

Any idea's on how to get started?Chat Icon

My sister thinks I should make a bunch of them and try to sell them to some florist shops...but I am not confident enough to walk in and ask.

what about renting a booth at a wedding expo or having one of the wedding coordinators sell them for you???

A local craft fair??

Do you have a website yet? You probably want to have a website and some business cards too. How about becoming a LIW vendor too? Chat Icon

I'm not that ready! LOL

I think a website would be a good idea...and I will have to look into becoming a vendor...that would be AWESOME!

I don't have any tax id's or anything "official" yet.
