    Very cute wallet,$10 is a good price. Doing something you like to do and making a little bit of money besides.

    Vera Bradley wallets run close to $50 US. So, don't be afraid to charge more than $5.

    Oh my goodness- $5 is way to low. I think $10 is the minimum. I would go $12 as someone suggested. It is so much easier to reduce your price than it is to increase it. Love your idea- go for it and make some money for your time.
    Good luck.

    Personally, I would pay $15.00 for one! We so often undervalue our work!

    I paid $22 for one from ThirtyOne. It has a couple of zippers in it, but not that much different from the ones you make. Go at least $12.

    I'm agreeing with what I see here. $5 is ridiculous! Charge more - and then see where the ceiling is. If you WANT to make lots of them - you can charge less (as in $10-12). If you are tired of making them - charge more ($15-20). You are the decider on this one. I would make them all day long on an assembly line of sorts (in my jamas) if I could bring in $20 a pop for them. Your price and your market will tell you once you decide what your intention is. And good luck!
