Miss Personality had it suggested to her that maybe she should try and sell some of her wonderful loom band bracelets.
If only that person knew what making a comment like that would inspire in her,lol.
The next day she drew up a diagram of what she imagined her stall would look like.
Then she talked about what things she would need to make her stall.
Then she wrote a list of the things she would need.
We talked about where the best place would be for her to set up her stall.
I mentioned to her, about the local markets that are held every Sunday or every 2nd Sunday in some places.
The thing is, like most people who get inspired by an idea, is we want to do it now, and that is what Miss Personality wanted to do.
It took a little convincing for her to realize that we can't rush into these things and we had to work out a few things first.
Like making the bracelets and rings to sell.
Having a float, which brought about another discussion on what a float is.
Finding out how much it would cost to set up a stall at the local markets.
Resourcing the things we would need to set up the stall, like fold up table.
So for now we have just been in bracelet and ring making mode :)
The difficult part is with out endless amounts of internet, like what we use to have when we had a landline.
We have to try and remember how to make these bracelets from the one time we did them, while watching a tutorial on you tube.
So far, we have the minecraft creeper bracelet, the rainbow ladder bracelet, the starburst bracelet and the fishtail down pat. (I think that is how you say it)
Miss Personality is the starburst rings, she can just about make them with her eyes closed.
She taught me how to make the minecraft creeper bracelet.
I was talking with Miss Personality about how much she wanted to charge for each bracelet in her stall.
She mentioned a couple of prices, but I said we should figure out how much they were worth to make before coming up with a price.
So after we figured out that, dad mentioned including in there the time it takes to make a bracelet. Still not sure how to put a price on that or how other people do for that matter.
Does any one know how business come up with a figure or amount to charge or add to the price of a product, when they are selling them?
Any way, Miss Personality's big sister, Miss Blondini, had a big gym competition yesturday.
Miss Personality said that she wanted to bring her loom band, so she would have something to do.
So I suggested that maybe she could bring her stash of made bracelets. Then if anyone commented on her loom band,she could offer it to them to buy one. Miss Personality got very excited with this idea and packed everything up in her bag.
When we got there, Miss Personality found Miss Blondini's other sister and they happily sat down chatting and excitedly doing their loom bands. Before you knew it, there was a group of young girls gathered, all drawn to the excitement and addiction that is loom banding :)
After a little while I heard Miss Personality say, "Would you like a bracelet, if you do they will cost ............".
She then came over to us with the hugest grin on her face, with utter excitement and amazement at the fact someone had actually bought a couple of her bracelets.
Then the word was getting out, and we noticed a few mum's scrummaging around in their hand bags for change so their daughter/ son could go by a bracelet.
By the end of the day she had made $8 and couldn't be any happier.
She was even honest enough to remind a mum, who came back with change, that her purchase had only been $3.50 and not $5.50. The mum congratulated her on her honesty.
