I've always had a dream to sell earrings. Because when I go to boutiques and such, they have these booths that sell homemade earrings. I LOVE earrings. I can't leave the house without some on. But it frustrates me because when I'm out shopping at these cute boutiques or online even, the majority of earrings are dangly. I don't love dangly earrings.
So I make my own. I find cute buttons or beads or cabochons or brads and turn them into my own earrings to wear or give away and I always loose so many. :)
So, back to my dream, I've always wanted to have a booth at those boutiques to sell non dangly earrings. Does anyone still buy those? I do!
I'm asking here, for your help then. Below are some pictures of earrings I've made and of some materials I'll buy to make earrings. And there's so many more out there, I just can't post them all. :D
Would YOU buy these? I know everyone has different styles, and big post earrings might not be yours, but do you know someone who would? Do I have a chance to sell anything? The great thing is, I know so many places to buy cute cabochons and beads for super cheap, so these earrings wouldn't be 20 bucks (I found some at a shop in Gardner Village for $20... I've made some just like it for a cost of $1.5! I could sell them for $5 or less and make money).
So for cheap, what do you think? Or should I just close up and quit now?

Very Cute. You should definitely sell them.
I really think you should sell them too! Instead of a boutique because you have to rent a space and I don't actually know the demand for these I would start with Etsy. It's free to set up a shop, you just need a paypal account which is also free! :) I think these would sell well on there. You go creative girl!
last time I looked into Etsy, you could have an account but have to pay a percentage for each item sold plus a like, monthly fee of some kind. I would love to do Etsy, because it's so well known but I dunno if I could stay afloat!
