Get yourself some business cards and/or flyers and just start handing them out "religiously". Be proactive and don't just wait on people to call. You probably will continue to have people call so it seems, since your daughter seems to be drawing in friends and schoolmates, but then you can just tell them, that it really takes a lot of time to do them, and that you have to charge a little, but that you would love to do one for them. Maybe have designs already done, so that others can see what they look like and for those who are not creative that need ideas to get them going.

Also, since you already have bulk jeans, how about teaching them to design their own and holding classes. Charge for the classes. Or how about designing parties where each child gets to design their own. Of course this is a whole different diretion to take the business and you have to think about whether that is the direction that you want to go.

Ssounds like a fun business. I wish you success with it. Hope this helps a little.
