Hello, I was hoping you could help me. I have just made some items for a craft show, but I have no idea what to price them. I made several pillows. Some with decorative print fronts and coordinating backs, some I quilted the top and used a coordinating back, and some are made of flannel. I also have mug rugs, hot pads, and some other stuff. I have no idea what price to put on them. What do you suggest???????????? I want to make some extra money, because right now I am the only one in our family that is employeed and money is running out, but I also don't want to bring any of the stuff back home with me. Thanks, Melinda |

On craft items it is a good rule of thumb to charge three times the materials. but if it is labour intensive I would charge 4 to 5 times the material. I mean a simple throuwh pillow easily could sell for 21.00
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
