   It depends on what price similar bags sell for in your area. I’d say it’s worth at least $40.00, maybe more since it’s all handmade, but don’t overprice it or you won’t sell many.

   The best way to price handmade items is to determine what you’d expect to pay for something like that if you saw one at the craft fair, and what you’d LIKE to pay for it. Go halfway in between.

   Another good method for pricing handmade items is: three times the cost of your supplies. That covers your time and skill and such. If you got your supplies free, do three times what they would’ve cost you to purchase.
