I want to have some ready made beaded barrettes in some generic designs at the next powwow we vend at. I'm having some trouble deciding on a few designs. Nothing tribal specific, just some generic designs like roses, hummingbirds, medicine wheels, etc. What do you think would sell well?

Other designs that have sold well for me are geometric designs, teepees, and for kids...looney tunes, hearts, animals, any cartoon character.Bead All You Can Bead

EP, ya sound like me. I still have the school's password to a paid clipart gallery so I go in there, open the images and resize them in photoshop to the size I need. Then print it out, cut it out and glue it down. I use a little rubber cement to tack the paper to the material or whatever i'm beading on.
My neice wants a cell phone cover beaded with Happy Bunny on it so I know how kids love cartoon characters.

A while back I was askd to do a zebra print heart, I was like uuhhhhh lemme get back with you lol.. I did a zebra print search it too me me many places but one i ended up useing was a stationary site and it said I wsa able to print a pice for free so I did and just cut out the size heart I was needing and beaded away lol was a bit different but hey she payd 165 for a barett and hairtie set. And had askd for more..I got a fevah! And the only cure is more cowbell!!!

sherry, I can answer how I do it. I trim it as close to the edge as possible, be careful not to cut your threads. Then I cut cardboard (Cereal box works great) just a little smaller and a piece of leather the same size as the piece. Glue the cardboard to the piece, and the leather to the cardboard. Then pretty it up with edge beading. The edge beading secures it too. Make sure to put the barrette or ties in before you put the leather on. Really easy to do. The pellon edges kind of roll under the edge beading.

My husband and I are going to give the vending route a go next year to just try to get enough extra money for gas money for our powwow trips. We are going together with a few friends and family to make a joint booth and split the vendor fees. We don't want anything that isn't handmade or natural. Well,...
