I made a few of these cute Santa scarfs and a neighbor wants to buy one.
I have NO idea what to charge her. It is made out of fleece. Double layer, 60" long. I have never bought a scarf in my life, much less a custom one so I have no earthly idea what to charge. Also, wondering if these would be a good seller at a Holiday Bazaar? Any ideas? |

| That's cute! I'd pay $25, but it is probably worth more. |

| Are you serious....I was thinking oh about $12-15. Boy I stink at this pricing stuff. It's so much easier to just give stuff away! LOL |

| Very cute! Not sure on price either. $20 is what came to mind, if it is warm as well as cute. But if you can get $25 go for it! You could make a little matching brooch from scraps for $5 for the cheap shopper. Kathy |

| Hi, Jenni! Your scarf is really cute and clever! Rule of thumb used to be - 3x the cost of the materials. So if you have $6 invested in the fabrics and supplies, you should charge at least $18. And if it takes a really long time to make it, adjust your number up, of course. |

| what state are you in? California or New York = higher prices. Midwest, lower income places = lower prices. I like the idea of triple-ing your cost. |
