I saw these at the LQS for $10. They didn't have a key ring. If the stores can sell for $10 you should get at least that much.

Thinking $8-10 would be a good price. If you make it too high people will not buy.

These are VERY nice. I think at least $10.00 would be a good price to charge for these wallets. Thanks for sharing your project with us! :thumbup:

The pattern used sew on snaps but I like the home spun look of buttons and I added a key ring. Do you think $4 is too much or not enough? What would you sell them for?

Rule of thumb for most part is charge for materials needed for it plus 3 to 5 times what the materials cost. So say materials cost $4 and you want to charge 3X the cost to the customer would be $12.00

You alone in the end must decide what you think your time is worth plus cost of materials.

I would say, either give them as gifts to special people, or charge enough that you will feel it is worth it to you to do it. Hope that helps! C9P

thank you all so much for the advice, $10 they will be.
