Jane42 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 We figured out today that it was costing us about $1.00 to make each one (organza bag, beads, FO). What would be a reasonable price to ask for these? Thanks so much!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmejeffd Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 We fugured out today that it was costing us about $1.00 to make each one (organza bag, beads, FO). What would be a reasonable price to ask for these? Thanks so much!JaneI figured the same cost for mine. I sell them for $4.00 each for a 1.5 oz bag. The rule of thumb that I go by is 4x your cost for retail and 3x for wholesale. You can also package the beads in polypropelene bags without the organza bags. I charge $2.00/oz. for the beads alone.

smokymountainraine Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What are aroma beads? I feel so outta the loop.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern-Marie Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Aroma Beads are these little plastic-type pellets that absorb fragrance oil. You can add color, and/or a little Mica to make them shiney and purdy.They absorb the FO and are dry to the touch once absorbtion is complete.You put them into sachet, or muslin bags and use them as air fresheners. If it's just for yourself, use an old stocking. I keep one in my linen closet, and in the drawers.They can also be used to make scented ornaments for a Christmas Tree, or as a hanging air freshener for the car...they melt in the oven.They last a few months when scented.Bitter Creek has them with instructions on their site. Good price, versatile, easy to work with, and a nice project to get the kiddos involved in on a rainy day. I like them because sachets are so hard to find, and it is really a neat old-fashioned thing. A nice novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
