Busy girl.

Couldn't agree more @latitude. I am impressed by anyone who does craft shows. They have to do such a lot of work and don't always get the results they deserve. Well done @jenel

@wishfulthinker, I totally agree. So much work setting up, talking to people and then packing everything up, whew, it hurts my brain just thinking about it.

I forgot how cute those are! Nice job Jenel! How much do you charge for each?

I couldn't get the cans online so I got them at the local craft store for $9.99 each. With the printing and putting together, I charged $22.50 and sold 6 in 1 day to the Bingo people at the Grange

Good question. I also would like to know.

I don't paint cans. On the plastic ones, I put the paper on the inside, and on the metal ones, I put the paper on the outside with spray adhesive. It depends on the show I am at and how many I sell. I also take several cans that are blank and printed papers, and they can pick the ones they want on them and I do it right there at the show or class. It seems that I never take the completed cans that they want. I try to take printed papers that are related to the "theme" of the show, fair or bazaar.

Smart lady

Thank you @jenel. Spray adhesive is a good idea - and probably quicker and easier than the paper glue. Always good to have more info.

Thanks Jenel! Great Idea, but i'm not sure i'm that good that I could assemble them at the show. Usually i'm by myself and well.......... just not that organized!!! I have always used score tape to put the labels on the cans. Has worked well for me
