So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Make Money With Trendy Crocheted Headbands

By Merle Nixon


This season crocheted headbands are still the rage. Girls have at least one band in their wardrobes. From babies to grandmothers, there is a style for everyone. It is a great time to start selling bands on the internet. Designing trendy looks is much simpler than most people think.

Many skilled crocheters will want to make their own bands. Fortunately, not many supplies are required beyond a simple pattern, a hook, and some stretchy fibers. While making the entire band by hand is a fun process, it is not the best idea for anyone trying to develop a profitable business. Crocheting is a timely process, even for the fastest crafter, and even bargain yarn is surprisingly costly.

Consider the advantages of skipping the crocheting process and buying wholesale lots. Shopping for bulk supplies is a cinch. Saving money and time helps develop a well-stocked internet shop. Faster, cheaper inventory costs means faster, higher profits.

Fat, funky, colorful bands are the favorite fashion right now. Bulk sellers offer many size and color options. Because the bands are highly elastic in nature, only a few lengths are needed to craft sizes to fit anyone.

While people will buy the bands plain, decorated bands sell faster. Hundreds of silk flowers are sold everywhere for very low prices. Take a single large posy off the stem and tack it to a plain band for an instant spring-sensible style.

Another great way to decorate these wearable wares is with ribbon. Get a variety of spools to create a broad range of designs. Bows are suitable for all seasons. Use narrow-width satin bows in rows or scattered about the top of a band, or sew a single large bow to sit on the side of the wearer's head.

Ribbon is more versatile than just bows. Take long strips of 8th-inch-wide ribbons and use a tiny safety pin to weave it through the filigree of the band. Be sure to fasten the ends with a few stitches, and leave a reasonable section of the band undecorated so it will remain flexible for size adjusting.

Let your imagination go wild when designing crocheted headbands. It doesn't take a crafting expert to turn plain bands into one-of-a-kind handmade accessories. Almost any small bobble can be sewn onto a band creating a cool new look. Experiment with glitter glues and other novelty glues to add pizazz. The more unique the band, the more likely it will draw attention to a seller's inventory. Utilizing a variety of internet sites for crafter shops or auctions, anyone can sell these bands with a 3x to 5x markup and the bands will still be very inexpensive for buyers while helping the seller earn nice profits.
