Honestly I think the problem with selling crafts at a yard sale is that people typically go to a yard/garage sale to buy used goods at a deep discount. I usually associate such sales with people who are about to move or who are cleaning out their house and when I buy I usually try to talk them down on price because from my point of view I'm doing them a favor.

I think handmade crafts or jewelry can do better if you sell them at a place that was intended for them. Like a craft fair, people who go to them are looking to buy crafts/handmade goods so your target audience is much more aligned with what your selling. If you can't find a fair in your area you can look online, I know there are multiple places where handmade goods are the only thing being sold. There's 1000 Markets, which you have to be "accepted" into. There's Etsy which works off of the ebay model of listing/relisting fees and a final valuation fee which is a percentage of the sale. Theirs ArtFire which is a monthly fee for unlimited selling, or you can just try their basic account for free for as long as you want to see how you like it.
