Starting My Etsy Shop: CPLG

What I've realized so far about selling on Etsy and hand making products:

So, I have been really busy working on my Etsy shop. My products are handmade clutches and small bags. I have a knack for creating things, and I just had to find an outlet. I love fashion, so I figured that I would start out with clutches. It is so much work, but I am having so much fun. I will be blogging about countdowns, follow ups, and Etsy tips soon. Wish me luck!

• You need to have 10 or more items for a successful start
• Read as much of the Etsy User Guides as possible
• Look at the competition
• Complete, research, and take care all of the busy work:
• shipping fees, 
• policies,
• marketing
• Shop around for affordable and good quality supplies before you make or buy anything
• Practice making your products on dummy material before messing up any good materials, if possible.

Expected opening day: Late April
