- Hi Everyone. Pricing your hand made items can sometimes be difficult as many people don't have as much confidence in the finished product as they should have and tend to undervalue and under sell the item. In this video I show how I price up the items I made, how I cost out the items and where I sell them. I sell as many as 300 of these a month during the summer for people who are getting married, guess how much I sell these handmade items for.

You are so very generous to share things with people who are in business to do this. I personally make things just for myself and for gifts and of course it’s still a good idea but I think about all the people who have businesses and depend on these kinds of ideas!
I'm going to start doing the exact same thing with a goal of starting to sell my creations next summer
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your selling prices, as this is a good base for people who sell similar items. I speak for my situation, but I also leave a margin for postage, invoice printing and marketplace fees. What works for me is an excel spreadsheet which calculates the net profit. SO many talented artists undervaluate themselves sometimes, and barely make any profit - I've been there too lol. I love your videos, there is nothing you can't do it's amazing !
Love these! It is always so good to have items that people will buy without hesitation due to the nice price!
You are a wonderful mentor, Steve.
❤❤ They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL !! ❤❤
That was so funny when you said "that's about the only time in life when you want to have a flat bottom". Good laugh there.
I love your ideas. They are different and we don’t particularly see these in the states. Keep making these videos please.
Update - I took several of these to a show. Someone with an upcoming wedding bought two to show the bride and groom. They are not having assigned seating, but she thought it would be nice to put everyone's name on one with a note that says "Sit Where You Like". Then they can put them at the place they choose. I like the idea of even ore like the fact that they might have 200 guests!!!
I don’t have an uncle Bob or Aunt Fanny, but l am going to have a go anyway 🥰
Thank you for sharing this information. I had zero clue where to start pricing things. I would have undercut my profits without this.
What a fantastic idea Steve. Thank you for sharing
Hi Steve, thank you for being such a nice and creative person willing to share your knowledge with us. I have been buying my first molds and resin to start my own Etsy shop. I also want to sell at different venues both online and in-person. Your price list really helped me figure out some prices for future items in my shop. I don't want to undercharge and lose money because I'm not calculating the correct value of my work, but I don't want to overcharge to the point that no one will buy my products. I really feel better now after watching this video. I hope you know how much we appreciate all of your helpful tutorials and advice.
FYI: I'm so new to all of this that I haven't even poured my first mold yet. I'm trying to learn from people like you who are experts before working on projects. Resin artwork isn't as simple as it looks and knowing how the different chemicals react in different situations is crucial. I'm such a worry-wart that I don't want to start until I've cleared out a space in the garage that is well ventilated and set up with everything I need. Well, this was supposed to be a short first introduction but I've been wordy. Thanks again Steve🙂
I am in the same position as you. I havent started yet either. Safety and knowledge is important.
I appreciate you so much ❣️
Awesome Christmas gifts!
Great idea Steve. Thanks. Looking forward to the marketing/advertising video.
Brilliant! I love it. Such a great idea- and such good cost to profit ratio!
Flat bottom haha love your wit Steve🤩
Little tip Steve . For me I when glueing into place is to actually dip the tip into the tube top rather than squeezing a big out as I find the tube end . Ends up getting stuck when lid is popped back on 👌. Excess glue can be removed by having a wet wipe or tissue to hand just tap it on to the chosen medium before screwing it into the hole 😉
Beautiful, great idea!!!
Thank you for sharing all of this information! This is a lovely idea.
These are great-thanks so much for talking about pricing!
Hello, I am brand new to Resin and you need to know that you and your videos are my life savers. You mean the world to me, and I appreciate you with all my heart. Thank you for being very thorough and funny. Also, thank you for your help and your videos. (PS: I didn't wear gloves the first few times I made my hearts and came down with severe diarrhea and vomiting) I called poison control and needless to say, they scolded me in their thoughtful loving way. ❤️ I'm joining right now. Please stay safe, and take care. Sonya in Cincinnati, Ohio USA
I really like the card holders what a great idea 🐾🐾🐾🥰🥰🥰🥰
Those are very unique and useful ☺️☺️.
Thank you for sharing how you price items as well. Many of us are doing craft shows so knowing the pricing is very important.
Thanks again..... Stay safe, you do you, and stay crafty 👍👍🔔🔔🛎️🛎️🦋🦋
I just made these yesterday love it
Thank you for always being so helpful as well as practical
Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
Supper cute idea
I like that you say “cured”. Some people say “dried” and that annoys me. 😁
Those r so cute 😍! Such an awesome idea!!
Thank you so much for this video, excellent idea but I certainly didn't think of it before finding your channel! Appreciate you sharing tips with us newbies!
Hello Mr.Steve just wanted to let you know that the one that had the cat card in it we call that a roach clip here in the USA 🤣 but I did order the heart mold and some of the little holder’s love your creativeness🌹
Hi Steve, Super sweet & good on you for making & selling your product 👍
HI Steve, Thank you so much for taking the time to read & reply back to me I really did appreciate it 👍( Steve, Please keep up the AWESOME RESIN & D.I.Y CRAFTING BECAUSE I LOVE TO WATCH YOU CREATE ) All The Best Lin 👍😀
This is a fun idea. I might make something like these for pricetags in my shop.
These are a great idea 💡 👍
Hi Steve, I have a question, I really like this idea. Has anyone asked to not have the glue put in so they could store it better? I am just thinking about how I would want to make them and not sure which I would want to do it....I guess I could make that an option? As an edit, looking at this, it's not really a question is it? LOL 🙃
I'm with you - the drill bit I used is just perfect (dumb luck), so I could leave these unglued for storage. Great idea!
@@judyjohnson2699 yeah, like put them in between some wax paper so they don't stick to each other and store those bad boys. LOL
Love love these!❤️💚🤍💙💜
These are lovely
I like your ideas ! 👍Thanks.
Great 👍 ideas
Great idea!
some thing i have to steal great idear
I just made my first one and my mind is blowing up with possibilities - thank you Steve - you are the BEST!!!!
Thank you so very much Steve! I really appreciate this series and your generosity in sharing your ideas with us ❤️
Great idea 👏🏻👍
Love these! Great to learn about the pricing as well😊
Love them.
I love this series and really appreciate the pricing advise.
Those are really pretty and a really great idea! Love them!
Love these ty so much for your videos
I love this idea! I love how you keep things simple and don't overcomplicate the whole process. You really help the newbies (and oldies 😊) with all your knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you love your ida
I’d love a flat bottom lol 😂 thank you for all brilliant advice x
Where did you get those alligator clips? Nice items btw.
Love this series 💓. Thank you so much for sharing your insight and resin wisdom! Really appreciated!
This is such a great idea and really helpful. I was wondering, though, how do you start the business in the first place and get customer's
I absolutely love this series so far. I haven't started making them yet but I will start soon.
Thank you once again Steve, these are such an amazing idea. You never disappoint me with your tutorials.
Excellent idea. Can I ask what kind of packaging you use for individual ones
Hi Steve, thanks for sharing! I'm not always sure about pricing but learning as I go.
Thank you for sharing this project. I especially like that you added the prices, although they will differ depending on where you are selling them at least I get a basic idea of pricing. Please keep this series going.
Thank you very much, Steve! For your content, for sharing your expertise, for your generosity and your humour. And for all the love and care you put into your videos! I also love your accent, it brings back memories of the year I spent in England: absolutely LOVE it!
Really nice idea, may have to do something similar. Thankyou for sharing.x
I have that drilling tool. I had no idea how to use it! Loved the tutorial!
I am thinking about getting into resin crafts, and enjoy watching your videos. Some great ideas ... and I really like how you break down some pricing in this one to give me an idea what these things might sell for.
Smart
They are absolutely gorgeous
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I’m going to order some and give them a try.
Great series Steve...really appreciate the tips on pricing 😊
They man thanks for all the tips. It's been fun getting in to the hobby and have some one with helpful videos to show me techniques and what not to do in some instances. Really appreciate the content.
Hello Steve! Another "Why didn't I think of that?, moment" lol
On another note, I personally find E600 a hit or miss situation. I found a product (on Amazon) called Zapa-Gap. It's a no muss no fuss, quick set (less than a minute), perfect for everything kind of glue. I've personally never looked back. Just a thought 🤔
I'm definitely going to do this with my hearts though 😀
Hey Steve, I’m looking for one of your videos that may be on your other channel, but I haven’t been able to find it on either channel. The video I’m looking for was on resin bookmarks that you applied nail foil to. I would be so grateful if you could lead me to it. I am somewhat new to your channels and I’m loving all of the information and ideas.
Thank you so much. Love these and really appreciate the pricing tips
Can you use UV resin to secure the card holder?
These are so great! I was just recently thinking about making something very similar! Great minds do think alike! 😁 Lol! Thank you Steve 😊!!!
Steve Q? Off topic a photo coated in resin will this be ok?
Hello Steve. I have just found your channel. Can you tell me what resin is the best to use for a chess set? I'm relatively new to the resin world. Thank you in advance for any help
Hi Steve this is an excellent yet simple and effective idea and thank you so much for your pricing ideas, but can I ask how do you work out the costing per item initially?? Do you use a specific calculator or formula for costing things out and how much do you charge for labour?? Any guidance greatly appreciated ❤😊
This is a great idea! And thanks for covering the profit part. I do have a question. I find my mold castings have a sharp edge on the top, or the bottom when you pull it out of the mold and turn it over. Are folks just sanding that smooth? For a pendant, I can't have that sharp edge.
Yes, sand it
Steve, your link to your merchandise in the video description I assume is for the things you make, however it just goes to more videos? Do you have a link direct to the shop where you sell what you make because I am interested in purchasing some things and I would like to see all the things you sell. Thank you in advance Steve. God bless you and your family.
He has the link to his amazon shop usually. He usually has those links for UK, USA and Australia.
❤
Really nice. But how do you ship those the cheapest way. When I would send the heart and the stencil next to eachother it would cost 1,80 Euro. Glued in, the diamensions would be so high to be only send by parcel which is 4,79 Euro, even for only one piece
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts thanks for your Feedback 🎉
Hi everyone how do I join group I am very very new at resin any help I would appreciate don’t even know how I start, bought moulds and some resin, didn’t even know was different resinxx
Ha ha ha Steve. "About the only time in life you want a flat bottom".....
👍
Hii sir. I'm working with resin. Now I'm pregnant. Is it safe working with resin during this time. I use gloves nd normal N95 mask while working. Please advice me.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts OK thank you sir
This one was full of innuendos....or was it just my dirty mind?? Lol 😆
Hi Steve - does the cost to make (35p) include your labour? If not, how do price your time and effort in making these?
I live in holland and here you get relly nothing of less then what you spent on matrerial so littlecbusness has no use here
Not my cup of tea , I just think you are a great person and want people to learn from you
Nice but way to much work for a couple of bucks.
