How to market these Tees

I've been working hard to perfect my sewing skills so I can start selling these bags I've been working on, and I'm finally to the place where I feel comfortable asking for money for them!!

Right now I have about 7 T-bags, and 1 T-tote. I asking $5.00 each for the T-bags, or 3 for $10.00, and $8.00 for the T-totes, since a lot more work goes into them.

I can't open an Etsy store until I have a bank account, and I can't get a bank account without a business license, but I'm not ready to get a business license until I know this is going actually go somewhere, so I have to find other ways of marketing and selling the bags. Right now all I can do is use Facebook and good old fashioned word-of-mouth.

I've also thought about recruiting some kids from my church to sit in front of Albertsons or City Market to sell them.

I've come up with a very productive and efficient way of making the  bags, I'm just waiting to get more shirts. Once I have enough, I'll be able to be more proactive in selling, but to start off with, I'm having to grasp at straws.

I know that if this is His will, then God will provide the means to sell the bags, but I have to do my part, too.
