Post Subject: A rose that never dies
hello crafty people! i have a very off topic question to ask.
question: if you saw a teenager selling these on the street, outdoor shopping mall, or in front of an arts and crafts store, would you buy them for $14/vase (with quantity pricing: 2 vases for $25, 3 for $34)?
i hope the admins don't see this post as me trying to advertise or anything as i do not own or operate a business. someone simply suggested i try to sell these and i am just trying to gauge people's interest in the product.
they are handmade, made of paper, and would include the vase, marbles, and seven roses per vase as pictured above.

well sometimes I get ideas just from going to an arts/crafts store. I'm sure you have one near you. I like Micheals but I don't know if you have one in your area.
things off the top of my head.
1. team scrapbook, or maybe little individual ones.
2. cute frames with pom poms, megaphones, and a cute team or individual picture
3. megaphone cake for the girls
4. hair ribbons, scrunches etc in team colors.
5. little gift bags full of cute girlie stuff. team colors maybe, items could include lip gloss, keychains, nail polish, hair scrunches/ribbon, gum or mints, body glitter, beaded braceletts, little lotion bottles, or perfume bottles, cool cute pens, little memo book, etc.

Thanks, your ideas are great . I'm going to make the picture frames for their banquet night (special gift). Like the m& m idea but running out of time. By the way, congratulations on your wedding!

I found a craft store in Fulton Mall. It''s not terrific, but they have sewing machines and parts, some fabric and vinyl, yarn, baskets, and basic crafty stuff. There was also a fabric shop across the street.
It was on Bridge Street and Fulton Mall, sort of across the street from Macy''s. I also noticed that the 2/3 Hoyt station is there.
This store actually closed a few months ago. It was a nice store and had amazing closeout sales, I bought soo much stuff lol
The other fabric stores on that street are still around though.
But by fulton mall if you take the a/c or f to jay st. and you exit towards the exit away from willougby towards metrotech across the street from the old transit office there''s a little arts and crafts store. I forgot the name, its not big but they have some useful things. They sell a lot of kid''s kits, paints, paintbrushes, wooden jewelryboxes, they have the big block of sculpey, and some other things, No fabric or too much jewelry making stuff though which sucks.
Also on fulton mall by hoyt (take a/c/g to hoyt-schemerhorn) there''s Cool Cat. Its a jewelry store but towards the back they have beautiful sterling silver charms which can be great for jewelry making.
In Manhattan, if you take the a/c to 34th, I believe its btwn 7th and 6th ave don''t really remember but on 33rd I believe it was there was quite a few fabric stores and they''re closing out this month so its like 50 cents to a $1 for a yard of some great fabrics!
Some dollar stores you an find some nice finds, and CVS''s new dollar section you can find some great stuff too.
Of course there''s also the Michael''s on 51st (r to northern blvd)
I''m always on the lookout ill update if I find anything else, hope I helped! =]
