Greetings fellow crafters! This week I received an order for a personalized toddler's book bag for a birthday gift. I was thrilled with how it turned out and it was super easy and fun to do!
The supply list is short and inexpensive:
- 13.5 X 13.5 Tote (Hobby Lobby)
- Siser easy weed Heat Transfer Vinyl (Micheal's)
- Iron or Easy Press
I designed the font and pictures in Cricut Design Space, they have a lot of really cute book, crayons, and other kid images to choose from. My co-worker loved it and actually gave me $20 for it when it only cost about $4 dollars to make. I have been having a difficult time calculating that to charge people for my crafts but a friend of mine mentioned there is an app called crafting price calculator that allows you to enter in cost of material, labor, and retail markup to see what you should charge. My next step is to open up my etsy shop and gather my different crafts I want to start selling. I have been super overwhelmed about opening the shop since it is very intimidating and I see shops out there that have had thousands and thousands of sales. I strive to be just as successful in my shop and am hoping to use some internet marketing tools I am learning while in the MBA program to assist in this life changing leap to selling!
