OK, it's probably been discussed before, but what do JodiF, stellastarchild, JennerRed01, and others who make the Baby Converse shoes charge for them?

I'm making several cold porcelain pairs for baby gifts- with baby's name written on the sole and packaged in a clear cello box w/ bow.

I'm thinking I'd sell them to customers for $25.00 -does that sound reasonable? Too much?

thanks.

I think it sounds reasonable. I sold mine for 10.00 but the whole time I was making them (and wanting to throw them across the room) I was thinking, wow I really should charge more for these. They were a pain!!

mmmmm......I don't think I'm the right one to ask. I charged $75 for the baby shower cake with the little converse shoes...*lol*

*hanging head* I'm not exactly great with charging what I should for my cakes.

Though, I will say, all the people who've saved it as a favorite and left nice comments have meant more to me than money. thumbs_up.gif

I would never have tried them without Stellastarchilds template. She's the one that deserves the thanks! thumbs_up.gif

I've always wanted to know what you all charge for those great little 'tiny shoes'! I'm going to try some soon!
