I will be opening up my own Christian fashion and clothing store soon. I'm so excited! It will be on the busiest street on the city next to my small town. I found a very affordable rent space. It will be awesome! I have about 60 shirts that I have painted on or did iron on letters on and about 60 bracelets. I have been making my Christian bracelets for the past 6 years. I have been somewhat obsessed with making them actually lol. I have just given them away for free for 6 years but just a few weeks ago there were some on my table and I had the casual thought, "I wish I could actually sell those." Then I started hunting all over my town and the next city for open office space. And I found the perfect home away from home place for me! I can't wait to set up my shop this weekend! I got so much cute stuff for it like a cute pink rug and American flag decor for the front window. It's going to look so great! I have it all visualized how it will look. I plan to process payments with the Square app on my phone. They keep 7% of every dollar with that. But that's ok. :)
I thought about painting on shirts again to have something else to sell besides my bracelets. And then I saw those flameless candles at Walmart. So I'm putting small letter stickers on them with phrases like "Be a Light" or "Angels are Here." They look Super cute! :) I also decorated some picture frames to sell. I might paint chairs also and sell chairs that have crosses on them. How cool would that be? :) There are endless things that I can make and sell really.
About 5 years ago I was actually into sewing dresses. I was making matching mother daughter dresses and had a ton of fun with that. I loved picking out new fabrics on Amazon. My favorite was a matching mother daughter set with zebra fabric. I also made matching shirts for me and my two girls from an awesome Hawaiian fabric. It was super fun!
I was even making purses back then. I tried about 10 different ways to make purses; glue guns and iron glue tape and then sewing them. That was tons of fun. I might do that again too. :)
Mainly I plan to do custom T-shirts. I will ask whoever comes in, "What is your dream shirt? What would your dream shirt say?" Or something like that. :) Or "What word do you want on a bracelet?" And I could make a shirt or bracelet exactly how they want it. And then if they want matching family shirts I would just ask what color and the sizes. My store will be a block away from Walmart so that will be convenient for getting shirts. :) It's a good thing I Love walking around Walmart because I will probably be there a lot. lol.
So pray for me please, that good people will come in my store. Please pray I will sell a lot every day I'm open and that it will be fun. I plan to be open every day but Sunday from about 2 to 10pm.
And if you have a dream of doing something, just do it, as Nike says. :) Don't think about it too much. Just make it happen. You will be glad you did. :)
May God bless you!
