Crafting Secrets

I make wood hang up items. I cut the item out on my scroll saw, sand it, paint it, and finish it with a clear coat. I spend many hours making sure each project is perfect. My problem is that i don’t know how much to charge people for the items they want. I don’t want to over charge like most craft items usually are but i don’t want to rip myself off either!!! I can’t figure it out by how much the materials cost cause i buy 10′ boards, and bottles of paint…..which i can make numerous items out of each. PLEASE HELP ME soon cause i have my first craft show coming up!!!!!!

Thank You!!

I understand your dilemma, first of all you need to figure out how many items you can make out of 1 10′ board, then how much does the board cost you, next take the sand paper and paint and do the same thing, you will be able to get your base price from that. Once you’ve reached that then take an amount of money for your time, base it on like 2-3 dollars per hour you worked on each project some might be more than other but should still be very reasonable to the consumer, I love crafts and homemade items but your right some people over charge and it discourages me from buying. I want to wish you luck and hope everything works out for you.

Maybe something for Halloween? Or fall?

have them gather leaves then take a piece of paper trace thier hand and glue the leaves on the paper my 3 year old loved it so much we made like six of them and he hung them in his room and we took the leaves and put them between two pieces of paper and took a crayon and colored the page it made leaf prints then we also took cardbord egg cartons and made catipillers. also we took construction paper buttons of different sizes string and just loose "things" to make a picture

I want to set up a small online kids stationary shop, but i need a good and cheap supplier my cosine can get any colour packs of card with 50 pieces of A4 card in each pack for 60p, so i would like something as cheap as that. I would most like to buy colored card, colored pens and pencils, glue, glitter and more other kids arts and crafts. So could someone please give me a good supplier for kids stationary.

Search from http://www.hellotrade.com you will find many suppliers by searching the product and get the contact details of the suppliers and manufacturers.

I have 3 kids and I stay at home and i would like to make some extra cash with any skills that i have i draw very good actually I drew all my daughters and i love to do any arts n crafts but dont know what. Any Ideas.

Only serious answers no jokes pls dont waste my time or yours.

Can you draw a portrait from a photograph?

I ask because when I paint outside in public, I get asked this time after time. I don’t do it myself (well, haven’t in a long time), but people seem very interested. You would probably have to keep your prices fairly low, however, I’d say well under $100 if you’re talking about a pencil drawing. But if you’re fairly quick, this isn’t bad money.

Since you’re not on display painting in public, I’d suggest you make up some cards with one of the drawings of your daughter and post them in appropriate places.

However, I can tell you, nothing attracts attention like drawing or painting in public, especially if your drawing looks a lot like your subject. So, even better than posting cards around, would be drawing one of your daughters in public if both of you could stand that. If you’re in a place with a lot of traffic, you’ll be swamped with people asking if you do portraits.

Good luck!

I am trying to make trivets using a piece of wood as the base, covered with metal bottle caps from glass 12oz bottles, and then plan to pour a layer of crafting resin over the top. Will the resin melt if a hot pot or pan is placed on top of it?

+ I am not positive but I think it is aground 300 degrees F.
