Thinking about starting etsy shop

jessanderic2012 · March 2012

Hey ladies- I need your opinions! I made a lot of DIY things for my wedding, and am considering starting an etsy shop but need to know if people would buy what I make. For now, I would only look into selling my chair signs, and maybe a custom card box, but I am looking to get a cricut machine, and just got a sewing machine so am learning to sew as well...so the possibilities are endless!

Here is what I made: http://pinterest.com/pin/53972895504248474/ (chair signs) and here is an image of the cardbox:

For the cardbox, I would send the buyer a questionnaire allowing me to get to know them better so it would be personalized even beyond the pictures they provided.

Please let me know your honest thoughts!

Thank you!!

Jessica

I love your signs! Those look great .... However I'm not such a fan of the card box. This is just my opinion but I think it looks a little tweenie or like high schoolish...

<div>Ditto! However, I would offer as much as you can make, which would include the card box. </div>
