I don't have any made bu there is one made out of 1.5 it is just a basic bow (all I know how to do) without the clip. I guess I am always nervous that they will not buy them I am so freaked out by how cheap bows sell on etsy that I price my stuff cheap so it will sell. I also do 2 for 12 I do 2 for everything I sell but I have been thinking of raising my prices a little

I had one last weekend, and they liked the flower loopy bows, probably because they were new this time. I sold ALOT of green/pink combos though in different types of bows.

Also-- light pink. and white. You would think people have the basics....
HTH!

ALso-- I always sell out of my bg multi layered bows. And it always amazes me cause they sell for over $10!! Great money maker!! I can do an assembly line and get 4-5 out in an hour!!!

Ca you post a pic of your multi layered bows. I want to see what type of bows sell for over $10! I'm trying to price out my various bows now, for an Open House I'm having in May and am having a bit of trouble deciding what's an attractive cost to the buyer and what's good for my own profit.

I'm thinking that even if they are cheaper on Etsy, everyone charges shipping, so it adds to the cost of the bow, essentially, right? So, if you're selling locally and people don't have to pay any shipping, add that in and make a little more on your bows!

I sale more of the 1 inch infant bows. No one else in my area makes them cause they say they are too hard to make. I would much rather make them. I sale them for 1.50 but thought about trying to make it an even 2.00 not sure what to do. I am also the only one here that makes the woven headbands. So I am looking forward to seeing how they sale at a show.
