A rule of thumb is 3 times the cost of materials, but because your charms are store bought, you may not be able to get that much. You need to find a wholesaler for your supplies so that you can make bracelets cheaper than people can make their own, or make your own charms.

The general rule for crafts is either to triple the cost of making the craft item or to charge about $2 per hour plus cost of materials. The first guideline would have your bracelets selling for around $3 for the regular ones, or about $12 for the ones with charms. You should be able to find charms cheaper than that. Have you tried Oriental Trading Co.?
If it takes you three hours to make a bracelet, for example, the second rule would put the price at $6 plus about $1 for supplies, totaling $7 for the regular ones and $10 for the ones with charms.
You may want to combine the two rules and charge $5 for the regular ones and $10 for the ones with charms (unless you find some cheaper charms).

For the watercolor yarn bracelets_ $3.25, but that is just if they have charms on them, if not then $1.25
For the floss/craft thread- $ 2.50 if they have charms, if not then $ .50. Hope this helps!
