Top Five Fast Sellers at a Christmas Craft Bazaar

Melanie L. Marten
A great way to make extra money during the Christmas holiday season is to create festive crafts and sell them at craft bazaars. As with any sales venture, it is important to pick products that will sell easily for a large profit. Deciding what Christmas crafts to make is no different. Choose crafts that are quick and easy to make and do not require expensive materials. The following five crafts are fast sellers at most Christmas craft bazaars.

Christmas Craft Bazaar - Doily Snowflakes

These super easy Christmas tree decorations require very little skill or time to make. Simply purchase a premaid lace doily that is about two to three inches in diameter. Using liquid fabric stiffener found in a craft store, make the lace doilies stiff. Then, simply attach a hook to the top of each one. Sell them in packs of six as snowflake tree ornaments.

Christmas Craft Bazaar - Ribbon Angels

Ribbon angels are another type of Christmas tree ornament that sells fast at holiday craft bazaars. Fold over narrow satin ribbon to make a tassel. Then tie around the ribbon for a head and body of the angel. Use a wider satin ribbon or piece of lace for the wings in the back. Glue on a beaded halo or a tiny Christmas wreath in front, as if the angel were holding it is another great idea.

Christmas Craft Bazaar - Gingerbread Ornaments

These Christmas tree ornaments can only be sold at craft bazaars that allow food to be sold. Otherwise, you must sell the ornaments as stricly non-consumable. Gingerbread men or decorated gingerbread house ornaments are classic holiday decorations. These can be made into tree ornaments by drilling a hole at the top and attaching a festive ribbon.

Christmas Craft Bazaar - Holiday Candles

Purchasing plain candles wholesale and then decorating them for the holidays is a great idea for any Christmas craft bazaar. They can be tied with ribbon, studded with beaded pins, or set in pine wreath holders. People love candles at Christmas time.

Christmas Craft Bazaar - Wreaths

Christmas is the time for wreaths. People purchase wreaths more at Christmas than at any other time of the year. At the holiday craft bazaar, you can easily sell pine wreaths as well as vine, straw, or other wreaths that are decorated for the Christmas holiday. Making theme wreaths is a great idea. For example, you can sell a traditional Christmas wreath with red velvet ribbons and pine cones, or a flamboyant gift wreath with gold sequined ribbons and tiny packages wrapped in purple, red, and gold.
