Idea targeted at Upcountry Hawaii Visitors? |
I live in beautiful Hawaii upcountry near a very beautiful stream that produces numerous waterfalls. Some of the falls are right off the main highway and have become a busy spot frequented by numerous visitors and locals that hike to take a dip in the beautiful falls. There is a fruit stand that sells banana bread, smoothies, fruit, and such, and some vendors who mostly sell beautiful handmade hemp,wire, and stone/shell jewelry. I want to make something simple that people would want to buy that is simple and resourceful(ie uses what I have already). What are your ideas? What do you think they would want to buy? I have -the beautiful rain forest abundant with trees and plants -basic art supplise -blank cds -old pentax mx slr camera -very limited "student" budget I was thinking of making and selling: -photo albums (expensive/complicated to make/bind?) -bookmarks (how do I laminate??) -selling prints of my own photography (expensive up front) -postcards?? (how do I make them hard Oh come on...just sell plumeria leis, and lei po'o, tourist go nuts for the "love", the aloha. When I was in Hawaii, my husband and I went to a luau. They showed us how to weave a fish out of a palm leaf. It was real cute but I was afraid I wouldn't be allowed to take it home. Now I wish I would have tried to bring it. If you could make those and then put something on them to keep the palm leaf from deteriorating (like varnish or decopage shellac) they would probably sell well. You could even make them with a loop attached for hanging. You could make some with plastic googly eyes on them or paint stripes on some of them to make them different. I bet they would be cute and lots of people would buy them. Bookmarks are easy to laminate. Put down a layer of brown paper, a layer of wax paper, a layer of pastic film, your bookmark, then film, wax paper and brown paper, and iron them together. You could do a scenic strip of your beautiful rainforest, or a dramatic picture of a vine climbing up the bookmark or whatever. Lots of luck with your project. aloha |
