Why Do I Make, But Don't Sell Friendship Bracelets? 

I agree with you . Sometimes it is difficult to sell handmade things because people do not want to pay the real price. Handmade things take a long time and as you say there are many people who do not know how to put a price on their work so they sell everything cheaper and make things difficult for people who do know what their work costs and want to sell. And I also understand that there are people who cannot believe that you do things for fun. It happens to me that I make bracelets for my friends and they always tell me that I waste my talent that I should sell. But I feel happy just doing it as a hobby. I'm very happy to see the happy face that my friends paint when I do something for them. Thanks for sharing your opinions and thoughts

Thank you for addressing the way undervaluing creative work hurts the whole market and how a fair wage for the time that goes into the art would stop people from buying them. Artists and crafters are wildly underpaid for their skills! Thank you for making beautiful work and sharing it with us ❤️

your bracelets are so cool and colorful it was interesting to hear your opinion about selling friendship bracelets!

Totally agree with you mate. Nobody gives you the real value of your work . I dont sell mines as well. I give to my friends, my $$$$ is their smiles, priceless. My therapy-hobby is make friendship braceles, i forget everything around. By the way, congrats for all your beautiful work. Amazing patterns. Cheers , from brazil!

I agree with you! I've been making friendship bracelets for 28 years and for kids to go ahead and low ball the price on your bracelets is SAD. I put lots of time and attention to details in these bracelets and sometimes the bracelets take all day to make.

I fully understand you bro 👊 I'm glad that youtube sometimes recommends me a channel that I actually enjoy even though it seems you've stopped uploading videos which is unfortunate. What is also interesting you're a 40 year old man who's hobby is making bracelets and I'm a 37 year old man this year who just got "back" into this hobby 😀 I learnt how to make them at a camp like around 30 years ago. I made a few and got bored with it and stopped and now just like a week ago suddenly something came to me and I took my old bracelet set out of the closet and started making new ones and now I'm really into it again 😁 I even bought new threads and accessories etc. Ukraine situation is what inspired me. I don't know why but I wanted to make something to show my support (besides money and such) so I made a Ukraine flag bracelet. My first bracelet in like 30 years and now it's my rediscovered hobby 😊

👍 I completely understand.

Is there a patteen number for this bracelet or is it on instagram? I love that pattern! I also don’t sell my bracelets. I either give them as gifts to loved ones or I collect them and wear them myself.

Agree completely!

Tolles Video 👍🏻

Interesting, as usual!

Precioso me encanta desde chile gracias

I sell bracelets and I'm not doing well at all so I dont even understand it esty is hog wash now shopify is doing stuff yea lovely.

What kind of string are you using?

Do you do videos, tutorial on how to make your bracelets.

Instead of selling the bracelet just sell your design for making the bracelet & don't make it an outrageous amount ,that way they can make it themselves. Think about it, just a suggestion.
