Cost of being crazy - how much is the right price?



I made this junk jewellery bracelet from buttons beads and odds and ends. It looks like something that was made from inexpensive items but when I added them up, or worked out what they would cost to buy new, it was expensive. with my time and sundry costs I wasn't sure how to price this item so that it was fair to me and a customer.

Getting the money right is important.

What would you pay for one off hand-crafted items?
What do you charge for your creations?
Are you satisfied that the stuff you use to make your products is considerately sourced?
Do you lack the confidence to ask for what something is worth?

Just some of the questions crafters and makers ask themselves each day.
