advice on starting a small business

I'm a highschooler and I'm starting a handmade jewerly business currently, but I don't wanna go big right away. I haven't talked to anyone about this in depth and I don't wanna invest a lot of money on something that might not work.

I bought enough material to make 50 pairs of earrings, I already have a rough idea about for how much I'm selling each. I want to start selling in my school fair hosted by the 5th graders. I have 2 brothers who are 5th graders and I'll use their shop to advertise my products and sell some of the earrings. All the classes from 1st to 12th grade stop by and shop, unless all the products sell out, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to make my work known.

I still don't know how I should add my contact, I want to put an email and phone number. I don't want to make actual business cards straight away, I was thinking of printing some paper ones or adding a sign next to the earrings?

Should I have a brand name and email already? In case everything goes well, how to prepare for more orders? Should I be ready to buy proper packaging as well? It's there any tips you guys have for a beginner? It's not my first time having a small business or helping in one but it's the first time I want to make actual money from it...
