Craft Fair Idea - Opinions Needed

[mahodgman]

Here is an idea I came up with for this year's craft fairs because I had a bunch of those shower puff things sitting around in my craft room. Don't ask! I don't even use them myself, but I used to. Anyway, I found an awsome deal on the little shower gels, so the idea emerged. What do you think of this? I've calculated that I can make these things for a whole $1.17 each. I didn't calculate paper into my formula because I have enough scraps. The puffs and shower gels are in all different colors, so I think I'll have fun with that. Do you think asking $4 is a fair price?

Mary, these are super! I love them and I'm sure you'll sell each and every one of them.

By the way, I meant to thank you again for your matchbook favor idea and instructions. I made 100 of them for my mother's big celebration/party in August and people just went nuts over them. In my mind I kept saying, "Thank you, Mary! Thank you!" :)

You're quite welcome! You know what? At this point, I don't even know if that was an original idea or not. Probably not because I don't usually have my very own ideas for these kinds of things. I probably saw it posted on the web somewhere.

This packaging idea is also not new or original, but the contents and image choice sure are!

Mary, I'm curious about the clear bags they are in. That's the perfect container for them. Where does one find bags like this? Can you get them in Micheals? Only asking because I've never actually looked for clear bags. I DO think this is a neat craft fair idea (PERFECT stocking stuffer!) and your packaging is simple but very pretty.

I think these are just super! $4 is fair and they will be a hit I bet.

They are awesome! I think $4.00 is fair - actually before I read your post I asked myself what they would sell for at a craft fair in my area and $4.00 came to mind.

Great job. I'd love to see them in the other colors you have too. Great job. Good luck!

How cute. I'm sure you'll sell them all.

This cellophane bag came from Stampin Up. My demo sent my club projects (cut paper and ribbon) in it recently, and it was the perfect size. I am sure Paper Zone carries them too, but to save myself a trip I just added them to my SU order that was due today. If I remember correctly, the price is $4.95 USD for 50 of them. The next time I'm at Paper Zone, I will check thier prices too. Oh, and I think Paper Zone buys thier clear bags in bulk from clearbags.com. I've seen the web address on a box or something there before.

Cute idea! I think $4 is extremely reasonable, but you could probably charge as much as $6!

These are great! I think $4 is very reasonable.

Those are adorable. I think I would price them at $5. Sometimes pricing a little higher makes people think they are getting something "better". And most people don't mind spending $5 bucks.

[tojoco]

I'm with Annette. I think you should charge $5. This is an awesome craft fair idea.

[mydogstinks2]

great idea! They are very cute and the stamp is perfect with it.

Wal-Mart also sells clear bags in the Party Supply section. You get 20 bags for around $1.50. I think $4.00 is a very fair price. Glinda

I think they are terrific!!

I thought too, maybe with your extra scrap paper, add another cuttlebug tag or small card 3"x3" (?)with the girl in the tub (with a to/from stamped)on it or "your fabulous"!!! And then it would be the complete gift and card set... for $5.00...you won't have to make change.... and then put a note in front of your stash at the sale... "Make great stocking stuffers!" "Hostess Gifts" "Teacher Gifts"

I like Peggy's idea of a tag or gift card & charge 5.00
thses are very nice
:)

[JBgreendawn]

that is very cute, and at 4.00 you should sell each and every one of them. :)

[teabear]

This is such a wonderful gift and all ready to go. They will fly off your table at $4.
