    What are they costing to make - materials and time? Does £5 or £6 pound cover the cost of the beads.

    17 crystals @ 4p each = 68p
    Thread - ?cm @ £?per metre =
    5 large beads @ ?each =
    1 charm @ ? =

    Minimum wage ~£6 /6= £1

    Packaging costs (how much did your boxes/logos cost? How many did you get?)

    Mark up - say 10%

    Does £5 cover all that?
