Does anyone know any great craft ideas that are simple, cheap, and good to put in a craft show??? Any ideas or good websites that I should check out would be helpful. Thanks.

A pair of candles (purchased) tied with a seasonal ribbon is always a good seller. You can also get wax stickers for the candles, if you like, but the plain ones sell just fine.
If you knit, handwarmers are fun. They're also called fingerless mittens. I can do a pair in about 50-70 minutes, start to finish, and get at least one pair out of a $1.- skein of Red Heart Classic yarn, when I knit with two strands together. Make 2 balls of yarn from the one skein, so you can run two strands, or buy two skeins in colors that go well together. You can find a pattern the way I did: use Google and type in "knitting pattern hand warmers free" and hit Enter. Or, email me and I'll write down mine.
Other little things are fun, like draft dodgers and other small sewing projects. You'll find something. Email me for more ideas if you don't.

The reason you can't think of anything is because you're doing it backwards. Crafters who make money were just crafting away at something that was fun for them, then they noticed all their friends were asking for one, so they realized it might sell.
To do it your way, whatever you choose will be simple and beginner-looking so nobody will want to buy it... and because you chose the craft for money, not love, you won't be able to do a good job.

wood working is a big seller. buy picture frames and make mats for them so they can place their picture in and be done. Cut figures out of wood and paint them for yard display, christmas is a big one.

well drawing pictures is fun. it might sound dum and babyish but it's fun or painting, paint pictures,turn clay into something and let it dry then paint. or build something useful. do something with someone it will make it more fun.
