Question:

I made a necklace just for fun and now everyone at work wants a necklace, bracelet, or anklet. Plus I am going to make some for christmas and birthdays. Point being. I need to know what prices would be best. I’ve spent a total of 40$ all together on hemp, beads, and ect. So the first one someone bought was for 5$ but I think that’s a little low. Help?

   If you’d like you can take a look at the price ranges on my hemp store http://selenia.etsy.com – super simple bracelets and things like that I usually sell for $5, pricing beaded stuff really depends on the types of beads that get used on the piece. Also if you’re doing something more complex then just a normal square knot you’d want to adjust the price for that too (a 16 inch alternating square knot necklace without beads, for example, starts at $20 for me because of the labor involved).

   $1.00 to $1.50 per inch, if they provide their own beads. $1.25 to $1.75 and up (depending on the beads you have that they select) if you supply the beads. That should give you a good starting point.
