I’m recently getting into crochet, but I paint and draw and a rule of thumb for pricing I was given was to base your price off of an hourly wage. For example, if I set my hourly wages to $15/hr and I can crochet one mini bee in an hour, the price of the bee would be a minimum of $15, then you can add in cost of materials. I used to set a timer for 2 hours for pet portraits and charged $50, with my hourly rate being $20 and $10 for the paint, brushes and mediums and it was a, easy way to figure out prices since I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out.

I don’t crochet but I do wholesale. I would suggest you raise your pricing even for wholesale if you plan on doing wholesale because trust they are probably charging way more double or triple what you charged them. I make candles and my smallest candles are $5 a candle for 4 oz candles which is less time than your bees. Please charge more.

Maybe you can put your socials or Etsy shop on labels and attach them to the plushies, and it can be like a marketing investment. You could get some new subs and potential repeat customers out of it. The shop owner shouldn't have a problem with labels if she's not trying to pass it off as if she made them, and in the end she's still profiting from your generous discount. ❤

Hi! I personally don’t do any whole sale however I know a little bit, maybe reduce the bigger ones by maybe 30% and the smaller ones by less or some not at all, that way you are still making decent gross profit and are still getting the orders.

omg i feel you, i have had people reach out to me for wholesale asking to take 30% of my profit which i just think is far too much, and I totally agree, crochet is not very wholesale friendly because it benefits small businesses that can easily mass produce things (such as stickers, alibaba goods, etc.) but handmade items (especially crochet) are very labour intensive and not great for wholesale. I do wholesale for 1 person (Strawberryboots) and I love the way she does wholesale, she lets me decide how much to sell my items to her for and the price she can sell them at, plus I get to advertise my items at her store as well which is really nice, but i haven't found/had anyone else give me a better offer than what she does. I mostly make larger items and custom items for her (not just small items).

I am just learning to crochet but I have previously sold cards that I made for Christmas and homemade birthday cards. I definitely found I could not sell the cards at a show as I could not make them cheaply enough to make it worth it. Some of my cards were 5 hours plus so asking 8 dollars seemed reasonable but did not sell well. I feel your pain in this one. Good that you are learning what works for you and what doesn’t. Great video

My wife and I used to own a candle making company. We had a few stores ask us about doing wholesale. We dropped our prices of the candles by $1 of what we sold candles at trade fairs. That still made it profitable for us without killing our margins. I couldn't imagine cutting handmade plushies that much. Wholesale can be good, but don't cut yourself short.

Wholesale for crafting is different than for resale stores!!! I've done Wholesale, but the highest crafters should go is 30%. Resaler's buy from manufacturers that have 100's of employees and machines that produce the product. That's why they can offer 50% it costs them less to make. We don't have machines or assembly lines that produce our products. You also have to set a quantity that they must purchase to get the discount. I offered 6 pieces of the same item for 20% off and they must spend at least $100.00. If they buy them by the dozen I offered 30% off, but they had to spend at least $250.00. Just remember we are hand making our products without machines and assembly lines. Our products are HAND MADE. Don't giveaway your profits. Love all the products you made they are so adorable.

The answer definitely varies but honestly you can keep start up costs low. Maybe spend $50 total on yarn and a hook. Try to make like 5 plushies and list on Etsy! I’d recommend selling online vs at market since markets tend to cost money to sell at them. I invested some money from my job to start my crochet business. I think I did $100 up front for yarn and hooks :) Good luck! ❤️

Many years ago, all of the eyeglass places had opened in the mall and they started running those ads for buy one pair, get the second half off. We saw an ad in the local weekly paper for an optometrist where he said buy one pair, get the second at full price. Ha we laughed but we started going to him and wound up being customers until he closed up shop and moved to Florida. I didn’t realize until then how that message was almost secret code for “I’m going to put the same amount of effort, care and quality in the second pair.” Years later when I started selling some hand knit and felted items I was discouraged by how so many people seem to bake in the idea of “if I buy more than one I should pay less” which might make sense when there are some big costs that are being amortized over a large shipment which already has a profit margin embedded, but when people are making things by hand it’s discouraging. I know wholesale adds a different component into the math and I’m not sure what the answer is but I’d alway err on the side of asking for a fair price for your effort, time and creativity! On a funnier note I really enjoyed the reverse evolution of watching a duck turn into a dinosaur…or at least a dinosaur part!

Thank you for sharing this story! It definitely gets discouraging sometimes since I feel like a lot of people still have that mentality, but yes, definitely need to recognize how much your work is worth ❤️ and hahahah Im glad you enjoyed the process of the duck becoming part of the dinos😂❤️

What size hook do you use with different yarns? Like bernat blanket vs sweet snuggles etc. I am always switching up and can never decide which I like with each yarn!

Hey Genna! Loved your bee and will buy the pattern. What's the difference btw this mini bee pattern vs the other pattern you have that comes in 2 sizes, there's a mini size there too?

Hello :) thank you!! So the mini bee pattern is just for the tiny, mini bee. The other “2 sizes” bee pattern will give you a “regular” sized bee and a jumbo bee ❤️

Hi Genna, How do you hot glue the eyes and have them look secure. I tried it and the hot glued eyes popped out too much where the snapped ones are more into the plushie.

Hey love! I have a question… I’ve been crocheting for a while now and I just got started doing amigurumis. The thing is I’m quite knew and most I have made are from pre made patterns. I know some crocheters are okey with selling stuff you’ve made from their pattern, but I kind of feel bad about it or that it is not fair. What is your take on that? I know most you created your amigurumis down to the pattern. But I wanted to have an opinion from a fellow crocheter ❤ ty

Hello!! Excited for you to start on your amigurumi journey ❤️ Don't feel bad at all for selling the finished products if the pattern creator specified it was okay to do so! As a pattern designer myself, I always make my patterns knowing people will buy them to sell the finished products so it's seriously all good as long as the pattern designer is okay with it! ❤️
