morningstar Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 HI, I'm planning on adding "fish in a bag" for my next fair they are just the cutest things i've seen. Have any one done them before. Are they a good seller and what did you charge for a bag? Also what size bag did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyT Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've never created them before but I have bought them before and my kids just LOVED them!At the last show I did a couple years ago, the booth next to me was selling them (that's where I got mine) and she sold a TON of them that day. All the kids wanted them. I want to say the ones I bought were like $2.50 each. It's been awhile so I can't remember for sure. I just remember she did sell them well tho. Good luck with them!

maryann Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm sure they'll be a hit!Just some advise, I personally wouldn't add FO to them as they cloud up after awhile (like pond water) if not use right away. I make a different version of them and stopped adding the FO because of this.Price- depending on the area and the oz size $3 to $4.50.

Meridith Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I make them and sell them for $3.75 each. They are a PITA to make but they sell great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I charge $5 for mine and no one blinks an eye. I use the large pop bags from the candymaking aisle at the craft store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Creek Candles Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Sorry, I am so lost. Is that clear soap with a soap or rubber fish? If so that is too cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yep, the FO will cloud these things and depending on the FO could discolor them too. I stopped making them. Too much fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
