General rule of thumb, crafting charges should be 3x's the cost of the supplies. $20 to make charge $60.

[@FlavorWorld]

gotta make yo buck!!! honestly im bad at that part i tend to undercharge

[@iim2155]

I first heard about this rule of thumb here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLPiWlsfMqah7c and it makes sense.

[@StepheneeDuran]

@@FlavorWorld it really depends. I crochet and yarn prices vary so much. I could by ~100 yards of yarn for $2-$6 but I could spend upwards of 12 hours on a piece using that yarn. I better get paid more than $6 for 12 hours of work. 😂

[@jimt8140]

This is completely inaccurate

[@jaymaejor1754]

But then $40 for 4 hours of work is only $10 an hour.

I told my dad to make me a frame my ideas are too crayzz to not do this. I already have a folder full of ideas and no supplies lmao Also if u need a projector which I'm getting there's a small one on Amazon for like 60/70$

[@FlavorWorld]

that's so awesome to hear : ) i hope all your ideas come to life!!! dont give up

[@captnjim.]

If you are making a quality wool rug that will last years and actually stand up to use, you are talking somewhere in the neighborhood of $25/sq foot for JUST THE YARN! If you use cheap acrylic yarn and walk on it every day, you will only get a few months of use out of it before it looks pretty shabby. For wall hangings and decorative pieces you aren't walking on with shoes, then you can do it cheaply, for a quality rug, the supplies cost a lot.

[@FlavorWorld]

do you think it's still a good business opportunity today? considering you made this a year ago

[@FlavorWorld]

Yeah still is but a little less lucrative! People still want rugs but its just a little less novel now

[@jimt8140]

Honestly, it's tough if you want to make detailed rugs to profit. Mine take me around 15 hours but they are far more complicated and I apply a thick rubber non slip backing. I guess selling low quality simple rugs is more profitable

[@FlavorWorld]

just gotta find the market for your work! there are a lot of people willing to pay a lot of money for an awesome rug, they are just harder to find than the people that want to spend $100 on a Nike logo rug. They're out there though! participate in art shows and you will find them.

[@LHS2369]
