My Latest Creations Using Whats in My Stash and Dollar Store Items

My latest creations......I'm thinking of making wreaths and centerpieces for Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day and Easter and selling them as a little side business. Has anyone started their own business making handcrafted items? Too much competition on Etsy and would like to stay local. Can you share some tips, on selling and getting the word out?

This was made from an old wreath I had and took apart. Ribbons, balls and mesh were bought last year at 75% off after Christmas.

This is a gift for my son for his birthday. Only had to buy the Bills ribbon, everything else was left over from other projects.

This is the wreath hanging on my front door for winter. 75% off ribbon, dollar tree mesh, flowers and wreath form.
