Price Custom Handmade Products 🤔🎨
Are you wondering how to price custom, one off designs for a single customer? Maybe you’ve got a fan who loves your work, but they don’t want to buy anything premade you already have in your shop, and instead, they’ve emailed you to ask if you could make them something unique and just for them? Stay on to watch this video, where I’ll share with you how to price custom handmade products.
If you’re new to my channel, just to give you some back story, I’ve been selling my own handmade jewelry at TinyHandsOnline.com since 2006. I still run this business to this day. And you can bet I’ve gotten countless emails and requests from people asking me to make them custom jewelry that I didn’t already have in my shop. If you got an email like that, what needs to happen next is usually getting more info and specs on what exactly they’re looking for, and then giving them a quote, right? Well, how much do you charge them? How do you even begin to quote them for something you’ve never made before?
In this video, I want to share with you two ways for how I price my custom handmade products.

Awesome vids! Keep up the good work! I think you should google followsm . c o m! It will help you promote your videos!!
Hi Mei!
Thanks so much for all of your videos, they’ve been super helpful as I work towards building my small sweater brand!
I hand and machine knit sweaters, and intend to lean heavily into custom work. My brand is focused on sustainability , and making sweaters to order means less waste (and size inclusivity!). My designs include a lot of embellishments, embroidery, sequins, and beads. I haven’t quite figured out the exact method yet, but I’m considering a system where I work backwards. I’ll come up with a price for the finished custom sweater, with all of the details included. But if a customer doesn’t want sequins/beads, that could make the price a certain amount less, same if they opt out of embroidery. I feel like it’s less intimidating to discuss a decrease in price when it comes to modifications, rather than to move up the scale.

Could you make a video about how you do online transactions or shipping tips please? I was wondering how to start selling online since I’m starting from scratch. Thanks c:
I don’t do custom yet. But I’m watching to learn. Thank you for sharing 🌺🥰
Hi Mei, thank you so much for this. I’m the owner of a small handmade shop and I’ve always found it frustrating to price regular products much less for custom ones. I’m very new to this and your videos have been so helpful. I’m still uncertain about pricing though, I was taught to double the cost of materials and add labour and that’s what I do but I’m not sure now.
More that 3 min in and there nothing related to pricing. Bye
I am just a few months into my online shop but my plan is to charge my base price plus $50 for anything that is custom designed. However, if the design is something I can reuse in my shop, I will cut the $50 charge down to $25
Thanks for sharing – your videos have helped me so much as I have a very similar channel
Thanks for this video. Now I have the confidence to provide my costing to my resellers.
I’m a Calligrapher/ Handletterer and Painter; the majority of my designs for customers are one off, custom designs. I actually prefer it that way. But I have four sizes of design that I do and that is how I do my pricing unless the design is really over the top and requires excessive amounts of paint. I recently had a lady order 3 paintings. I gave her the price. She wanted very specific designs. 2 went fine then the third was a nightmare and used so much paint and took me days to do and I was stuck with being under paid for it. So I will definitely know for next time! 🤦🏻♀️ great information. I’ve been binge watching lots of your videos. So informative, for a newbie to all this.

Thank you for the information. It has given me a lot to think about in pricing my handmade cotton crochet market bags.
