Where can a 14 year old sell handmade paper crafts and greeting cards!?
Okay well I make greeting cards. They’re really good. They’re honestly better than many that you would find at wal-greens or something. I have sold them before for like 2 dollars but then people stopped buying them. I would really like to extend this buy making paper gifts. I have so many paper craft magazines that help give me good ideas. Does anyone know where I would be able to sell these types of things? should I put up flyers? I don’t know what to do!

A nearby craft fair or garage sale.
Etsy.com I have been on since last year, it is great. Like ebay but only for handmade goods, check it out, you won’t be disappointed!
Let me know what you think!
if there is a county fair or something like that near your house try setting up a table or two with stuff like that.
sell them on ebay, you can sell anything there, but you’d probably have to sell them in bulk if you did that.
ebay great source some people maight bet more than u require on a item
I would first go to relatives, neighbors, the flea market beauty shops, spas, and town street fairs. Just with the neighbors alone, ask them to show your work to their friends. Sometimes word of mouth gets you all the business you need. Best of luck to you.
When you’re truly ready, see if an adult will help you open a little shop on Etsy.com, where handmade items are sold by hundreds of talented artisans. If that’s too advanced at this time, you could practice making different products and improving them over time. Start very simple and gradually learn and build from there. Sell for really cheap until you have some experience behind you. There’s nothing like experience and trial and error to find what works for you and what doesn’t, focus on that instead of profit at this time. Perhaps, instead of a lemonade stand or garage sale, set up a lovely, fun, eye-catching crafts table on a busy weekend and see if anyone stops. You could sell things to eat or drink, also, to draw more people in. Make a huge, colorful, inviting sign that makes people want to drop by and check it out. Perhaps you could donate some of your products to charity sales, and then see how well they sell. Notice what people will buy and what they’ll pay. Perhaps set out a few products at any yard sales your parents or their friends might hold. Perhaps try to find a merchant at one of the large, permanent flea or crafts markets who might be willing to test sell items for a percentage. Use your imagination, practice practice practice, and make sure an adult is always helping you to think through every plan and to keep you safe in all that you do.
Check out online at Etsy.com with your parents permission you can open your own etsy online shop. Many young teens and even pre-teens are selling their arts and crafts this way.
with a big store such as walmart’s permission, you could set up a booth outside of it and sell! ive only done it with girl scout cookies, but it would prob work! also, you could go to a farmers market or a flea market and sell. another idea is that i live on a golf course, so when i want to sell something, i set up a booth on a well used path on the golf course. trust me golfers love to buy stuff. even used golf balls and lemonade. so they will probably buy a lot from you! you could also put up fliers in stewarts or something or sell to your neighbors.
