Was it worth it (cost wise)? What would you do different or not do?
I am looking at joining a couple this November. And dare I say the last craft fair I participated in I was 8. My best friend and I stenciled gift bags. What a cute memory. We were so earnest!
Thank you!

I have on several different occasions.
Was it worth it? Sometimes. I think it just depended on the venue and what I was selling at the time. i.e I was selling printed tshirts @ pride and made big bang profit, another time I was selling hand made incense holders and made a small profit. and another time I was selling the same tshirts at a gay rodeo and made next to nothing.
Another thing is to watch how much you have to pay for the table/booth -- do you feel that you'll make profit or just break out even?
Recently, I was asked to be part of Trans Selling Art Fair and I paid nothing to be part of it and what I did sell was great because it was extra money for my pocket and the expenses I had to print up for the project.
I wish you good luck on your fairs and sellings this year!! What do you make?
Best to you!
