Craft for Food

I would like to sell my crafts?

But I’m not old enough to sell stuff on ebay. I am 16 though, so perhaps I am able to things I don’t know yet. Anybody have any suggestions on perhaps art fairs in Indiana *where I live* or websites?

   I’m not sure of physical stores because I’m not from Indiana, but you can always try etsy.com. I LOVE shopping at etsy because it’s all either crafts, materials for crafts, or vintage. It’s addictive! and you can set your own store there if you want

   It depends on where you are in Indiana. You might be able to find a store in a touristy spot such as Nashville or New Harmony in southern Indiana that would sell things for you. In Indianapolis, the Penrod Arts Fair is always the Saturday after Labor Day. There’s also an art fair in Broad Ripple once a year. In northern Indiana, the flea market at Shipshewana does a good business.

   As far as I know, Etsy does not require that you be 18 to sell there. http://www.etsy.com/how_selling_works.php

   Call your local Chamber of Commerce or tourist bureau and inquire if there are shops in your area that specialize in selling local crafts. If your work passes the process for acceptance, you may want to sell through a shop. Be aware that shops will usually sell on consignment and will usually take 40% of the selling price (but actual arrangements vary). They may also want you to pick up merchandise that has not sold within their turnover expectation.

   Local fairs and craft fairs usually have booths for rent. I know nothing about Indiana; you may want to check lists of fairs here:
