The rule of thumb in art is to charge 3-4 times what the cost of materials are. This way you are charging for materials, YOUR TIME, and the complexity of designing and/or creating an item.

So in this situation at 3X's your cost between $15-20 .... that is what it would go for at art and craft shows.
