Thanks Faye. Now you got me hooked on another web site as if I don't have enough to drool at.

Hey just passing it on, one of the ladies on here turned me onto it! <3

How many faire favors do you typically make in a batch? I will be making mine and my husbands and I am not sure how many charms to order.

[WindChime]

I make between 60 - 90 each. I make 3 different ones for me and my folks.

I think it depends on how many faires you will attend and how many times at each faire.  We got almost every weekend to Bristol, plus 5 or 6 other faires every year, so you run into a lot more people than if you go to a one weekend smaller faire.  If you're going to RenDezvous or St. Molden's weekend at BARF,  you'll want a lot, because there will be lots of RF members there.  Some people like to exchange favors with as many people as they can, so you'd want more.  Otherwise, some people make very few favors and just give them out to a few special friends.

It depends on what you want and where you're going.

What is the average size of a faire favor? I feel like mine are so big!

[CapnFayeCutler]

I try to make as many as I'll need in a year, but luckily with keeping the same design this year I won't have to make as many as every other year. I order the charms in batches of 50 each, and right now I'm sitting on about 100 loose ones (it was the "make mine a double" sale!). Same for the beaded charms that I get on another site.

I am a complete sucker for those kind of sales!


So my clay tokens have finished firing now I gotta figure out what to do with them. I was thinking of stringing them on some yellow,blue and green thin ribbon with a few beads and a bell but as for the actual charms should I paint them or leave them in the raw?

I've decided with my new embroidery machine that I can make awesome faire favors.  I've been using handkerchiefs as practice items and will also be giving them out as favors at TNRF.  Here is what I have so far.  If you have any requests let me know!

Those are fantastic!  What a great idea!

[ladylissame]

I love them! I wish I could be at TNRF

[Dinobabe]

And they're fun to make, too!
