Bright and Beautiful – making wooden toys for children
Children love bright colours. Children love toys. Bright chunky colourful toys are made to be a childs’ best ever most favourite toy. The trick is to make something that is quick and easy to sell at your wooden toy flea market stall. Elaborate and time consuming designs are costly.

A car, for instance will have 4 wheels, a boat will be sharp at one end and blunt at the other. An aeroplane will have wings. Trains will have small and large wheels, with a funnel. Typically, the body of the wooden toy should be able to be cut from a single piece of wood, using not more than 2 cuts. Templates can be cut from masonite, and … Read entire article »

Keeping the chill out with Jackets and Jerseys
According to the Weather Bureau, and most of the rest of the world, South Africa has a magnificent climate, being blessed with sunshine throughout the year. That is mostly true, but it is a fact that even in Durban it does rain, and the wind does blow. In the interior of South Africa it does get cold, and recorded temperatures of below zero are commonplace in the winter months. To the flea market stall owner this provides a golden opportunity. In summertime people will buy lightweight jackets and jerseys, generally just to have something close at hand should the temperature drop a bit after the mid afternoon showers. For winter, stock bulkier, chunkier items. Most of South Africa has summer rain-fall, which means that the jackets and jerseys at your flea market stall … Read entire article »

Special friends forever with a friendship bracelet
Friendship bracelets are very popular amongst especially teenage girls, who will often buy several at a time, for their “very special” “best” friend(s). Teenage spending money was limited for many years, but it is apparent that the cash teenagers control has increased considerably in recent years. This means that if you are selling friendship bracelets at your flea market stall you need to offer your teenage client a bit more variety. Base the variety on the level of friendship. Just an ordinary friend would be the cheapest option, and would be the plainer bracelets. A special friend would get a somewhat more costly friendship bracelet, with a few beads worked into the friendship bracelet design, or possibly a specific colour pattern. Best friends would be the next level up, and could include a “hand-made” … Read entire article »
