Craftseller Magazine November 2013 Edición anterior

Now is the time to start turning up the heat on your Christmas craft-selling, as shoppers begin to hunt for the perfect gifts. And if your festive stock is a little low, don’t worry – we’ve plenty of quick Christmas makes to help you keep up with demand.
We have a Fair Isle knitted hot water bottle cover, perfect for personalising with a name, on page 32. Over on page 74 there’s a very pretty, sparkly crochet mini-shawl, great for parties and special dinners. We also have a gorgeous upcycled kitchen blackboard on page 72 – an ideal profit-boosting make. And of course, we mustn’t forget our irresistible cover stars – the dinky knitted owls over on page 16! Owls have been solid sellers throughout the year, so in their cute little Santa hats, these are guaranteed to fly off the shelves (we promise to stop saying that soon!) this Christmas.
Feature-wise, check out our expert advice and top tips on how to sell to the lucrative, last-minute Christmas shopping market (p79), and over on page 38 we walk you through how to be an award-winning craft seller.
Enjoy!
