Finished beading the crown er warmers this morning, final block drying now. Beading took about 3 hours including all the finish work. Placed beads and tied, then wove in thread ends. The Pink has clear beads, subtle for the 7 year old. The Sparkle White has red beads on the top round and different colors on the second round, bright for 1 year old.
Getting ready to cost these out to establish a sale price for any I sell. Definitely will be more than 3 times the cost of materials which very roughly would be an average of about $3.20. I'm thinking more like $10 with 1 row of beads and $15 with 2 rows of beads. But, need to check retail cost of ear warmers and handmade costs to keep in an appropriate range. Will be setting up a spreadsheet and discussing in the resource page in a day or so. This will be the start of a good cost of materials calculation.
Anyway here are the completed Cross Stitch Crown Ear Warmer (pink) and Puff Stitch Crown Ear Warmer (white sparkle).
Crochet On!
