Welcome from Vermont. Pricing is hard. The first is - the price is what the market will bear- this can vary from county to county, fair to fair, city to city. The second is - you can rarely get a minimum wage for the hours you put in. Knowing all this and still enjoying what you do - you do want to make something over your cost - so add up your materials then add at least 25%. Now look up anything you see that is similar to give you an idea of what the market is for "less than homemade". JenniePennie suggests breaking down in smaller units. This is excellent in this time of tight money. Try the price you come up with on your friends, co-workers etc to see what their reaction is. Remember if you are going to put the items in a shop or on consignment-know what their percentage and always add it onto the price so you do not lose anything.
