Hey Deanna, i was so excited to do these, got the marshmallows, the spoons etc, i couldn't get to Michaels for the paper so i bought the Park Lane from Joanns. Cut 30 bases, did the scoring and then started doing the folding and cutting, and that ------paper just started tearing apart, showing the white core , so i have stopped and will get the Recollections. I have used the Park Lane mostly for card bases and never noticed this problem of the core showing etc. Not going to ever buy it again! its like it has a warp and a weave like you have in fabric! onthe 9" direction the folds don't crack, but on the 8.5 edge the scores all crack. Very weird. Thank you again so much for sharing the process,, hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas with all of your loved ones, and good luck at your fair next week.
These are so much work and paper I live in Nor Cal everything expensive here ! I don’t know how prices are in Texas but four dollars seems fair. If I made them here I’d ask for 6 . Lots of luck ! Cricket
I would price them at $5 each or 3 for $12. This is a high end version of the typical hot cocoa packs. If you find they aren’t selling, you can always reduce the cost to $4 each or 3 for $10. I suggest to always price high to start. It’s easy to reduce the cost and people feel like you are giving them a “special” deal when you do.
I totally agree. With the economy being what it is right now, covid19 keeping people on tight budgets, the prices are a bit high. I think showing just 2-3 if the packet holders at the start would have been fine, rather than all of them. They are really cute, though & I'm prople will buy them. But, keep in mind its a lot of work fir something that most likely will get tossed after the contents are used.
I like these coco packs...where did you get the marshmallows, and do they come individually wrapped...can you share the link please 😊...thank you for sharing and blessings to you
Fun project -- maybe fold down the top of the cocoa packaging so you can see the pretty paper more. WHAT A SWEET TREAT! Should sell very well -- good luck with the craft show.
Deanna definitely $5, remember your works worth sweetie... Absolutely ADORBS. I was seeing these and thought if doing for Christmas HM. TFS, pinterest gives such awesome ideas. Blessings 🦋
I think you should have an extra container without the cocoa and stuff so people know it’s a card inside. And a place to tuck a gift card. Those are extra features which justify your price.
I think they are so adorable!♡♡♡ I absolutely love what you did!! I did go to the dollar store today and saw the individually wrapped candy cane spoons. I also bought some ⛄ snowman mugs with the nose popping out and it was perfectl to gift to some of my friends with the mugs and others with the cards you made. So back to the video.🙂🙂🙂😄💛💚
Deanna I did craft shows for years. Do not go to cheap. Try them at$4.50. Your work is the best. Thanks for sharing. Remember your time is worth something.
Pretty pretty! I think $3.50 is a very fair price! Both my shows were cancelled, so I am crafting ornaments and cards. Thank you for teaching so many lovely and fun crafts!
Hi Deanna🥰 Love these! A bonus having a card and pocket!!! Thank you for a great tutorial! Excited to make some. You will sell out at your craft fair. Stay safe and well. Hugs 💕💕💕
Hi Deanna. Wow these are the cutest hot coco holders I have ever seen. Best idea ever! A card with a treat?! Genius. These are gonna be great sellers. I think $3.50 or $4 is a great deal. Thank you so much for sharing. I want to make these for the employees in the office at my sons school. Love, Robyn💕
Amazon might not require a return and just send you a new box. Sometimes it’s more cost effective for them to do that. I don’t think it would hurt to send an email. I wouldn’t bother with change, I’d do $4 or even 5.
so cute! i actually have the original link saved and have yet to make them. Now this inspired me to get some done for Christmas gifts. I have a lot of leftover Christmas papers I can use, since I can't go to any stores.
Think $3.75 to $4.00 is a great price for consumers. I have always thought you have charged fair prices, just like I do for my crafts. Love to see your creations, all are so well done.
Yayyyyy🤗 i try to make my co workers some tyype of a treat holder but this is going to be my choice for this year!! Might have to add one of those skinny lindt bars . Since they always expect some sort of chocolate candy. Thanks for sharing😗!
your instructions are not clear when it comes to scoring, its quite choppy, it should be clearer without having to say 'oh and we need to score here as well', the idea has been shared by others and I do found your instructions a bit confusing.
