How much would you pay for these hand-made baby items?

Question

I am starting to do some crafts for babies to try and make money while I am home with my kids for the summer. I have made some fleece blankets with crochet trim. They are about crib sized...I am thinking of charging about $20 each. I also have dozens of crochet hats-newborn sized...I was thinking $3. If they want the matching booties then $5 for the set. I have also made some crocheted changepurses with a handle long enough to put around an adults neck ...I was thinking about $2. My newest idea is a fleece blankey about 18 inches square with fringed edges AND a velcro loop to hold a pacifier. Would $5-8 be too much for this item? I really want to not over or undercharge.

Answer 1

The changing purse should be atleast 5 dollars. But it sonds good. the fleece blanket seems a bit much. I know in target a nice fleece banket ranges fo 8-12 bucks.

Answer 2

i would charge more for the newest idea ... i would love to have something like that for my nephew ... :)

Answer 3

All the other prices sound to be very well priced; however, the fleece blanket for 20 might be a little high.  Really it depends on how wide the crochet trim is around it.  If it is rather wide (at least a inch or more) then the price is fine.  But if the crochet trim is rather small then a little price reduction is good.  However, when it is all said and done, you know how much your materials cost and how much time it took to make the items.

Answer 4

I would charge $15 - 20 for the blankets; hats & booties $5; changepurses $5 - 10.  Fleece blanket with velcro loop $10.

This would all depend on cost of materials and time.

I would also suggest contacting some websites such as www.little-lions.com to work out consignment.  They are a cloth diaper company that has a special area for WAHMs to sell their homemade baby items.
