What a cute headband Happy

I can't help you with the pricing because I'm crap at that lol I have to ask at least 10 other people to help me when I price my stuff for etsy.
But in regards to the flower, I would sew it on. I think hot glue would wouldn't last as long as sewing, especially with the stretch of the headband...

Def sew it on. Well as far as a price, figure out about how much it cost you to make one. Then how much time did it take ? For example, if it cost you about one dollar to make it, perhaps you could sell them for 3 dollars. Again, just an example. I mean you want to calculate the cost of materials and labor. Also, go over to Etsy or someplace like it, and search for similar items to what you make. That always helps getting an idea of what you will be able to get.

From a business point of view I would calculate how much the cost of the materials are for making it, perhaps taking into consideration the length of time each one is made in and the profit margin you would like.

For example... lets say the cost of your materials is £0.50 and you want a profit margin of 50%, then you would add 50% of the price on top (50% is probably alot btw, this is just an example. A reasonable amount would probably be about about 20-30% ish), 50% of £0.50 is £0.25 - adding them together would make it £0.75...

If it takes a long time to make then I would add abit more to the price... but I guess you get what I mean.

Well I hope you do :S

Lol - sorry I got a bit carried away.

If you are still stuck at what price to sell your headbands at, then I would have a look at a couple of accessory shops or shops that sell similar items and look at what they sell theirs at, it might give you a rough estimate.

I would probably spend about £3 on a headband (about $5)

Hope that THIS post is more helpful than my last
