Etsy vendors... please come in!!!!!

If you make handmade items, do you make them AFTER you get an order or do you pre-make items in certains sizes and sell/post what you already made?

TIA

I make items and post them. I have a blurb in there that I also accept commissioned work.

Most of the people I've bought from make the same things over and over (hair clips, winter hats, tutus, etc) so they seem to post a picture of something they've made in the past and then make a new one when the order is placed.

LIF won't let her post her own link, but someone else can post it for her. Like if they got it in email or something.

I remember on Parenting when btrflygrl and 5ofClubs posted links to their hairclips on etsy they got removed, but when someone else posted it they left it.

Some of the items I would make would never be 100% identical.

So I probably lshould ist those items individually? Chat Icon

I think if you put a note along the lines of "Since my items are handmade there are no two exactly alike, but your item will be the same color/pattern/whatever" it would be ok. I never expect handmade things to look exactly the same, you know?

I am going to make rings. So the pearls/stones might not be the same size, placement, etc.. So it's the same concept but it might look at bit different.
