I just remembered an "off the wall" idea one of our guild ladies came up with. She had wooden yardsticks the kind that you find in home improvement stores (don't remember if hers had anything on them or where she got them) but anyway, she wrapped them with scraps of batting and hot glued it onto the stick. They were for running under the fridge to gather dust bunnies. I think we sold them for 2.00 and sold every last one. Stood them up in a trash can for display. This might be something the group could do and you could have a bunch to sell. assuming you could get the yardsticks at a bargain rate.
