Default Give me an idea for price on these

I just started to make these and thought maybe I would try to sell them at a craft show this fall but I need to come up with a price

I forgot to mention I do many styles but price would be the same and they are stitch markers for knitting and crocheting

Think about the cost of the materials needed, your time also. Multiply this by the number of items (Package of ten).

For example:


Material cost $ 3 each time spend on each 15 Min. Package of ten $ 30 (just covers the cost of material)

Make the prize higher, because your time has worth too.

I like what you did and think people would like to buy it. They look beautiful!

Just an idea, make them a little longer and you could use them as fobs for scissors etc..

They would be nice for zipper pulls too, like jackets, purses and so on.

I agree! They are indeed beautiful, and I know there are always people who are looking for a quick fix for a zipper, or a decorative pull.

Thanks I had never really thought of using them for zipper pull or on a purse but it gives me another market for them

If you had some with larger rings, they would be great keychains.

You have done a great job.

I would be willing to pay $5.00 each.

Good luck...its hard to tell how much would pay..me...3.00 but I also know how to make things myself - 5.00 sounds good too...if you sell them low, you will sell more...just a thought
