My church hosts a craft fair every year, what are some suggestions for crafts that will sell?

I have to buy a booth, and obviously want to make a profit, so I don’t want to make anything that requires expensive or hard-to-find materials. I am only 14, so keep your suggestions in my skill range please. Just some cute useful things (preferably geared towards girls) that people will love.
The booth costs $150

    Themed Photo Frames:

    Attach shells for a beach theme, foam flower decals for a girlie theme, feathers, glitter etc for a theatrical theme with a hot glue gun and let dry!

    Beaded Bracelets:

    These don’t take much time and you can make each one look different using glass beads, seed beads, children’s beads etc. Make sure to put a metal closure on it and use beading string- not stretch cord.

    Hair Clips:

    Thread a needle and tie a fairly sturdy not in the bottom, then loop the ribbon varying ways(or using multiple colors) over the needle, when the desired amount of ribbion has been used stitch through the bottom to top 5 or six times and ending on the bottom tie off. Then attach with a hot glue gun to a hair barette. They can be a starburst or flower by the time you are done and all in varying sizes.

    I Did the second and third ones for a craft fair fundraiser and both did really well. :)

    baking always sells, I’m always involved in church events.
    you can buy the mix that comes in a box for .99c a box

    you can bake cakes, cupcakes or cookies, I will suggest to stick to the cakes and cupcakes, decorating them is fun. You can sell a pack of 6 cupcakes for $3.00 sounds like a good deal or 1 for $1.00

    you can also alter composition books, they are .25c at walmart right now, the only thing you gotta do is cover them with a scrapbook paper that you like and ad an embelishment

    google altered composition books or cricut crafts or arts and craft fair click on images so you can have a better idea.
