What sold the most at my guild's table at the craft show were handmade fabric ornaments. Especially the folded fabric balls, fabric stars, anything but the flat round or square ornaments . . We hung the ornaments from a small table top Christmas tree. Coasters and mug rugs did not sell. Bowl cozies sold but only the really nice ones. Some made cozies from mud colors, didn't sell but the ones made from bright vivid prints sold out. We had bowls of different sizes in our cozies. Another item that sold out was headbands made from stretchy rayon printed fabric. We made our booth bright and clean looking. White table coverings make a big difference. We didn't stack items on the table. Had a few out and boxes of extras under the table. All small items made the same, different colors were in nice baskets. All prices were in bold print and easy to see.. The backdrop was a bright white fabric covered folded screen with bright pennants strung across. The most important is to get the buyer's attention and then have fun bright items to sell. We gave the fabric tissue holder with some tissues in it as a thank you for each purchase. That was a big hit with the customers and they sent others to our booth. Selling is all in the marketing and presentation. A booth set up is very important.
