some general questions...how do you keep the white spray paint from running onto the blue union?. what sells best at your craft shows? how much do you charge for each item? what type of numbers do you use on your welcome signs? it looks like you use a variety (wood/metal) and i'd like to know where you get them from.thanks.

That’s a lot of questions! Haha so, for the white paint not to run, the trick is to do it in layers. So first spray the stars with a light mist, let it dry, then do it again. I go until a nice white shines through. Doing to much too fast makes the paint to wet which is why it runs.
Crafts shows are typically great for smaller items like mini flags and bottle openers. I’ve done really well with EDC trays. But don’t leave out the large money maker flags! (I’ll actually be doing a video on this subject in the near future!)
Prices vary depending on the selling market. So like Etsy it’s a little higher due to fees and shipping but craft fairs are brought down to help move it in bulk. It’s all dependent in where you’re doing the fairs at. If you want to email me i can go more in depth with ya!
I started with the metal address numbers from home depot but moved to engraving my own numbers with the cnc and 1/2”-3/4” thick wood. But the cricuit is another option for this! Vinyl lettering is great for the weather.
