General Discussion Do you like this?

My husband loves them and likes that I can make the bottom beads themed for holidays. I can also do this with different types of chains. I was curious if anyone else likes my bottle jewelry. I can also make various patterns.

Just to clarify, the chains are removable. You can put them on any standard wine bottle :>

Edit: Im not asking how much to sell these for. I only wanted to find out if people actually like them :>

General Discussion Selling Crochet

0 Upvotes

Hello! New here.

TL;DR
I had an idea for a crochet shop. If you are a seller - How would you go about selling your originals, and what should I know? Is Etsy the way to go? FB marketplace? Do I try to get myself into maker’s markets? Is it even worth the effort? Do you get any real income from it (not assuming it’d be a full time income, but a few hundred doing something I love would be so helpful to my family).

I’ve been crocheting off and on for about 20 years (wow, am I that old?) since I was a young teen. Picked up my hook the beginning of this year to make my daughter a scarf, made a few hats and headbands, and just recently started teaching myself amigurumi (sp?). It gave me an idea, and I searched Etsy and Facebook and Reddit crochet, couldn’t find l anyone offering exactly what I had thought up.

Anyway, so I made my own pattern and had my first go this weekend as a part of my child’s Halloween costume. And now I’ve learned from some mistakes and know that it takes roughly $10 and 2 hours to make. I’m thinking I would sell for $15-25, depending on size. I’m going to make a second at the request of my other child, and one for a gift. Once I have 5 patterns and pictures ready, I’m thinking that’s when I’d start advertising.

Pricing I need advice on how to price my simple crochet beanies.

0 Upvotes

The beanies I make are fairly simple. I use Bernat blanket yarn. It only takes me about an hour and maybe an hour and a half with problems to make one beanie. I chain 20 and then double crochet 22 rows. I then single crochet the sides and then I'm done. With one skein it's about 13 to 14 dollars depending on where I go. I can make two and a half beanies per skein. There are little art fairs I plan on joining later and I love crochet and just have yarn and simple projects I can do and make like a little side cash. I don't want to do it full time so I don't want to over charge and would like some advice on what is too much or too little for my time and material cost for the beanies. I was thinking maybe 15 to 20 dollars so I can make some profit and earn back what I spent on yarn.
