These fabulous crafty chickies organize this website so the rest of us can find cool indie shows around the country and beyond to sale our goodies...it also helps us to promote what we are doing at The Girlie Show. The Indie Craft Show Database is your connection to crafting events of all sorts. It is a user-driven calendar of craft shows, trunk shows, festivals, any anywhere else you can buy or sell totally awesome handmade goods. Best of all, it's completely FREE to list an event or browse the listings.
They also have great articles and resources on "Craft Show Success" for those new to the scene. We so love these girls at Indie Craft Shows!

MAKE THIS!
Check out this cool tutorial from Fluffyland! Make your own Starburst wrapper bracelet or a purse or a hat or whateva you want. This reminds me of when I was a kiddo and made these with Wrigley's gum wrappers. Anything will work...just try this technique. Thanks Fluffyland for sharing your How-to!
MAKE THIS TOO!
This is another example of how to use recycled objects to weave very cool products.
Tiffany Tomato's tutorial shows how to make a basket out of plastic bags. Excellent! We love this!
