Participate In Hand Born's Holiday Craft Bazaar!

Think your handmade goods are cuter than stuff you'd find at a department store? Well, here's your chance to sell your items! We're looking for youthful, cutting-edge makers of anything handcrafted such as clothing, journals, recycled art, jewelry and more! If you are interested in participating, please start step one of the application process:

Step 1: Submit items for approval. How to submit items: submit photos as attachments via email to webmaster@handborn.com. Be sure to save them in a .jpg format at 300dpi (these may be used for printed ads such as The Modesto Bee so make sure they are saved correctly). Once your items are approved, we'll send you an email with a link to the entry form.

Why do your items have to be approved? We have very limited space and we want to make sure that we have a wide variety of products as well as items that fit the audience we are promoting to.

Step 2: Submit entry form.

Step 3: Submit $50.00 entry fee via Paypal, check or money order.

*Want to save on your entry fee? This year we are doing a raffle benefiting local charities. This is a great opportunity to advertise your goods plus get a discount on your entry fee. If you would like to be a part of this raffle, simply donate one of your handmade items valued at $20 or more when you arrive for setup and we will refund you $20). Be sure to mark "would like to donate a product to the raffle" on your entry form.

Please make checks and money orders payable to Julie Edwards and mail to:
P.O. Box 1355
Modesto, CA 95354

Step 4: Arrive for setup. Once you've completed the entry form and submit your entry fee, you will receive a confirmation email which will include your vendor location. All confirmed vendors should bring their products and display tables to your assigned location (Concetta located at 1207 J Street, Modesto, CA OR Deva located at 1202 J Street, Modesto) uing our setup time which is 4:30-6:00pm. All vendors must be setup by 6:00pm. We generally do not provide tables, display cases or clothing racks. However, we do have tables available for this show. Sizes are 3' x 3' and 4' x 2.5'. Please mark on your entry form whether you need us to reserve one of these tables for you. Booth size is 5'x4' and we recommend you bring a standard 3'x3' card table if providing your own table. Also, legs must be collapsable in order to fit through front door. You may also want to bring extention cords and lamps.

Step 5: Don't forget to bring change! Make sure you have enough change to last the entire event! Also, vendors are responsible for paying their own taxes from their sales at this event.

Step 6: Have fun, mingle with other craftsters, be inspired, and make lots o' money!!!

We will not be accepting any applications submitted after Friday, November 9.
