I would attend craft fairs, bazaars and flea markets in your area. See what they are offering and what is actually selling. (These items vary from area to area, state to state, etc...) Take notes on the items, the prices, etc... Then do your research on pricing these materials, your time, and see if it is going to be worth your while. Around my area the booth fees are so high that it makes it difficult for crafters to make much of a profit. There are many people who during the holidays, are looking for $5-$10 gifts for co-workers, teachers, neighbors, if you can come up with something unique, simple to make with inexpensive materials you may find these to be your best sellers. If the economy does not pick up, there may not be as many buyers out there. However if you live in or close to a tourist location, take note on what are popular souvenier items, and go from there. Good Luck :D :D :D
