Selling gerbera daisies at shows

[unbrokendreamz]

ok so i have a question.. When you craft shows do your customers prefer the daisy to have the ORIGINAL centers or a rhinestone center? Also do you iron your daisies flat? or do you keep the original shape? These are for crochet headbands, crochet kufi caps, crochet waffle baby beanies, and clips by them selves.

I used rhinestones on all of my daisies at my show yesterday. I had one woman buying a beanie who said she wanted something "less gaudy", so she picked out a bow to go with the hat. She was the only one who said anything like that. I sold a lot of the kufi hats and crochet hats with the flowers. They are my most expensive item too. People just love them.

I didn't iron them. They are the daisies from afloral. I personally don't really love the quality. I do love hobby lobby's though, but it's about an hour away and I spent $40 at afloral, so just decided to use them. I also had a few different other types of flowers that people liked too.

Good luck at your show!

Lilysmommy,
Do you mind sharing what you sold your beanie hats and headbands for at your show?
I am working on pricing my stuff right now.......

[LilysMommy]

The crochet infant beanies with bow or flower were $8.00 and the kufi hats w/bow or flower were $12.00.

Thank you!

mine were going for between $12 & $15, I used the line that I went to this years holiday mart and found similarly made ones for $22-25 LOL

i sold mine this weekend for 20.00 each.

I wish I could have sold mine for more. I just live in one of those areas where people don't spend much. Even at $12 a hat, that's a good profit though.

I sold my headbands for $9 ( tax included) or 2 for $16 , infant beanies w/ flower for $12 or 2 for $20, and beanies w/ flower for $15 each, or 2 for $25.

I had a crappy show, but i did sell quite a few of the headbands and sold 2 beanie hats, and only 1 infant hat.

I think at my show in November, I am goign to have some put together like I did the last show, but have most seperate. That way they can pick the flower they want with the hat they want.

Does anyone know what the average sell price for gerbera daisy flower baby headbands are? I made 37 so far and was wondering what to price them for. I know it depends on your area but I was just wondering what the average is! I am going to post a pic of them sometime today in a new post since I finally bought a memory card now!
