I've been watching, I've been waiting, In the shadows, for my time... Sorry, I haven't got pictures yet... I will when I get my camera and my PC to work together... and when I can get on the internet after that. sweatdrop EDIT: Okay, I have pictures, but unfortunately, they're crappy phone pictures. My PC and camera are still refusing to work together - I'm going to get the marriage councilors (IT department guys) in to crack it. EDIT2: Camera lead died. D= So, I'm pretty much doing market research here. I was thinking of filling my spare time (full-time Physics student here) with crafts, and would like some feedback on items that I was planning to make. (still working on them, mind) I was thinking of selling them on Etsy, and also at local craft fairs (if I can find any). And, I'm not really taking how much time it took for me to make them into account at all - I'm just thinking of the cost of materials and a little so I get a small/tiny profit. These are: - crocheted roses (black, bright red and maybe other colours), with calyx and wrapped pipecleaner stem, stem about 10cm long and with some soft little thorns. They'd be about $2 to $2.50 each. - simple slouch hats. Probably about $6 each, maybe $7 if they're multiple colours. It depends on the wool used, but the price here is for the basic wool - more expensive wools would cost more. Also, I may do hats with details, like little cat ears, roses or ribbon in the brim (probably ~$8 or 9) - drinks cans (mountain dew, pearl tea, coca-cola etc) made into pots (or pencil holders, glasses or short vases... multifunctional, really). Probably about $1.50 each. - knitted/crocheted hot beverage holders (for the to-go cups at Starbucks, and similar). Again, about $1 to $2 each. Or if more expensive wool used/pattern, a little more. - barettes/facinators... well, they're on these, but a little smaller. They have feathers (with diamantes) and black flowers (little roses and lilly-like flowers) and are black ribbon wrapped. (this is where you need pictures, really.) They'd be about $8.50 each. - flower pins. These I have a picture for. Here, on DeviantArt May have little black roses on, or be slightly different. Around $1.75 each, or maybe single flowered ones for ~$0.75. Made more for going with a bigger flower barette/clip than on their own. And yes, I know the wire's built up. You wouldn't see the flowers if they're next to a larger barrette if they weren't. Decided not to make/sell these after feedback. Since I'm in the UK, prices may be ok, but the postage may be high for global customers (~$8 ). UK postage would be up to £4 (but probably less, since these are smaller items... ^^; ) So... yeah. I'll get images up when I can. Feedback would be appreciated a lot..; Would you buy them? Are the prices ok, or are they a little expensive? Do you think they'd sell? Should I take how long it took to make them into account, or leave prices as is? Also, if you think they would sell... any tips on display? ... I've been searching, I've been living, for tomorrows all my life. Visit my Stamp Emporium for all your stamp needs!  |
