Tips & techniques on how to sell your handmade crafts easily, confidently & successfully : 10 days of easy & fun Halloween craft ideas day 4 - DIY Spooky halloween balloon treat gift box video tutorial

Popping in with a fun project for you today - a spooky halloween balloon treat gift box with video tutorial - my girls loved this fun balloon treat box especially when the balloon sways about a little to its own spooky silent beat!

This balloon treat box was inspired by an idea I saw years ago on PaperCrafter Samplers but with a styrofoam ball and not a balloon. I think the balloon makes the box much more fun to make!

I love his ruffled collar - very Elizabethan!

And his cute little fringe ;)

Check out my bloomer on the video - well shows I'm human at least lol ;)

A couple of months ago I asked you about increasing interaction on my page & you gave me advice around engagement and asking questions to my customers building up trust. Since doing this I have noticed that my interaction talked about figures have gone up people are engaging more in my posts and we are building up trust which had resulted in a few more sales!

I started to make jewellery as a hobby in 2010 since then i have gathered various skills, which has caused customers at work, friends and family to say "oooh you should sell your creations". I fumbled around with advertising, a single fair and a couple of car boots. I found i wasn't doing very well and started to get frustrated and looked for help. I immediately found Marketing Creatively and since then everything has changed for my business and I! Using the 50 "cardinal rules" (as i call them) and every single piece of information i can suck from your blog, I am starting to expand my reach ten fold, i am finding networking much easier and much more focused, I am now blogging, which to my surprise is a big hit, and i am also planning to do tutorial videos and contact my local newspapers and such to get a bit of coverage. All in all I can't thank you enough. You have been such a great inspiration and help and I know I couldn't have done it without your support, and the support.
