Teen Making Money

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hello,
At the moment, I'm currently trying to find new ways to make money. I am 15, I have a part time job every day after school but it's not great pay. I have started using eBid and eBay and making some spare cash from that, but I had a new idea.
My old primary school holds fairs for the main events (Christmas, Summer, Easter) and I have agreed with the Parent's Association that I would pay them £10 for a stall for the next fair (Christmas). The school is fairly big and they already have tombolas, raffles, candy-floss and popcorn machines, drinks, catering. They also do fake tattoos, face-painting and minigames like beat the goalie and the regular games to earn sweets.
I was looking for an idea of what to sell on my stall! I thought personalised gifts were the way to go, so kids could come and buy something for their parents, but upon contacting the Parents Assoc., they already do that. So, I thought about packaging cheap sweets individually (such as flying saucers) so it would also attract the adults who grew up in the 70's with Flying Saucers about everywhere. But I was wondering if anyone had any more ideas about what to sell!
Please comment your ideas,
Thanks,

You are very young, you can learn a lot of things. Try to dive into DIY world (Pinterest is perfect for this) and set a store on Etsy or even eBay.0
