    A rule of thumb is 3 times the cost of materials, but because your charms are store bought, you may not be able to get that much. You need to find a wholesaler for your supplies so that you can make bracelets cheaper than people can make their own, or make your own charms.

    For the watercolor yarn bracelets_ $3.25, but that is just if they have charms on them, if not then $1.25
    For the floss/craft thread- $ 2.50 if they have charms, if not then $ .50. Hope this helps!

    Make something unique that nobody else does.that way you can sell it for more.also if your a good seller it should be easy to sell.

    The general rule for crafts is either to triple the cost of making the craft item or to charge about $2 per hour plus cost of materials. The first guideline would have your bracelets selling for around $3 for the regular ones, or about $12 for the ones with charms. You should be able to find charms cheaper than that. Have you tried Oriental Trading Co.?

    If it takes you three hours to make a bracelet, for example, the second rule would put the price at $6 plus about $1 for supplies, totaling $7 for the regular ones and $10 for the ones with charms.

    You may want to combine the two rules and charge $5 for the regular ones and $10 for the ones with charms (unless you find some cheaper charms).
