So I’ve recently been making a lot of keychains, and my friends/family keep telling me I should sell them. I’m a little hesitant about it, since I like making bracelets at my own pace. Even if I didn’t sell it to strangers like on Etsy, I feel like there would still be an obligation to make them fast. Anyways, my question is, do you guys have any tips on pricing if I were to sell them? I don’t want to feel like I’m making them too expensive.

I like to sell bracelets and keychains made to order so I don’t have to make a bunch of the same thing. I also crochet, and I use an app called CrochetLand to track how long it takes me, it’s very useful bc it calculates how much you want to be paid an hour, uses material cost, and adds in profit that you can adjust. But if you don’t wanna go through that, you could price them by strings, so a 16 strand normal bracelet would cost $16, a 16 strand keychain could be half of that(less time consuming), and a 16 strand alpha bracelet could be $24(1.5 normal bracelet bc it’s harder to do)

To decide prices I think about how much it took to make it, how long it took to make it, and how the outcome of it looks I usually sell mine for 5–10 dollars

So I usually sell it for my friends, really cheap. I got 10zloty form my friend. 10 zloty is about 2 dollars. But for me is more because it’s different value
