How do you get over fears of selling your crafts to the public? Well, the best way to get over a fear is to face it by getting started. One way to help may be to start slowly by attending smaller events. I know some of the nation's largest retail shows can be overwhelming even for experienced crafters, so maybe starting smaller would be a good way to "get your feet wet". Also, the smaller shows can help you learn how to act with customers and determine how much inventory you will need of particular items.
