I know there is skill involved, but to me I see a pinterest page that will spur me to make my own, not buy yours.
But regarding pricing, I would add up the total of your actual cost, add in your hourly charge, and double that. So if you've got $10 in beads and it takes you 15 minutes to make it and you charge $20/hour that means you should sell the bracelets for $30. If there's no market for it at that price, then you probably shouldn't bother. And you can reference the Big Bang Theory episode with the Penny Blossoms for a further explanation  |
Thanks for the input. I will play around some more with some of the types of beads you mentioned and see if it looks nicer. The beads I used are actually nice beads, but I can see how the silver-type ones would up the visual quality.
Thanks for the tips on pricing as well! As I said, I'm fairly new to this and don't want to sell something that isn't a quality product.
