I've started making these fun tote bags. I've had a few people ask me for one. I obviously can't make the bags for free all the time. I was wondering how much I should sell them for. I was thinking $10-$15. Some of the materials are fairly expensive.

Factor in your time PLUS materials, then add on a 200% markup.

The best thing to do is usually decide what percent profit you want to make and then mark the bags up that much over what they cost you to make.
Also, look at similar items and what they are selling for in stores, but remember that a lot of these may be made in bulk and will not be as good quality-wise as a handmade item, so price accordingly.
Good luck! Sounds like you have a good thing going.

well, find out how much people would pay first. You can usually by a purse or tote at the store for like 9 dollars, but a handmade one with special designs, could be well worth the 15 dollars. i would want to see what they look like first of course, but it sounds cool.

You need to make some profit off it, so i would say $5-$10 over what you get the materials for!!

$25 - $35...
The higher you price them , the more they are worth to people.
