Well, I am pretty imaginative, so display, packaging shouldnt be a problem. My main concerns are I do the bead embroidery myself, but buy my own supplies from hobby lobby and other local craft stores. My cost for each one is about $5.00 to make. But for a kit, should I look into buying bulk, or just start small, make a few kits from what I already have, and see how they sell? And where would the best place be to sell them online? I dont have a web page yet, need to sell stuff to afford one, and with 2 kids, local craft shows which arent many are hard to get to... Id like to keep it as small time as I can, like using my own printer for instructions, I have adobe photoshop, so I think I can make a nice instruction page, even packaging. I think I can get a kit together with packaging and supplies for about $8-10. How much should it sell for? I can sell what I make for about $18.00 each. A beginner can do it, and it really is a very nice product... Anymore help would be great!

So how is your holiday shopping/crafting going?
This year I have less time and slightly more money than last year, I'm buying more things (rather than making them) but I'm also trying to buy a lot of handmade things (from local craft shows, like Art vs. Craft, or online from Etsy).
Or, are you doing more charity donations this year? Less? Any suggestions for folks?
