Generally the formula used for handmade products I’ve used is: Cost of materials X 3 So with the cost of your book you are already at $18 and you have all your other materials to add in. Some of the products you may not have the exact costs, so guestimating is what I do. Also, there is the controversy over bargaining with a customer. I ascribe to the no negotiating. I do not change the prices from venue to venue. You may develop a following. I believe once a price is set it should only go up to avoid being shopped. If customers see you at one venue then at another with different prices they may say something like-‘I saw this item a month ago at _________ & it was such & such price . Why is it cheaper/more here?’ Then you may be trapped into a lower price to accommodate the customer OR get passed over. Losing customers. The increase over time is easier to explain. Cost of materials, etc. Of course there is the variable- what the market will bare or not selling do to over priced items. If things are not moving then you need to figure out how to do it cheaper and faster to accommodate a lower price or discontinue it. However, there are those items that don’t cost much but the market will support a higher price. In that case go with the market price. And yet there are those items you may choose to price at no profit or lose money to entice customers into your booth or store. Like the Costco $5 chicken; they lose money on the chicken to get you in the store because you are bound to buy other products.

I would charge $40. Your skill set combined with vintage treasures truly make them one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your process.

My 9 yr old grandson and I have a collection of almost 100 Little Golden Books, mostly vintage. He loves helping me find them at thrift stores and yard sales. He has an appreciation for the illustrations and is a gifted reader. I cannot bring myself to cut the books apart!

As a book lover, I squeaked a little when you cut the book, but I really enjoyed seeing the process. I could see how I would personalize the booklets for myself. Lol. Thank you

Love your process. It's very doable and not overwhelming. I especially love how you kept the book intact. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m making these as christmas gifts for family this year! The women anyhow. It will hold Christmas cards and photos and maybe Christmas recipies I can add to it. What a great idea! I’m so excited to get started! Have a Great Day!

I like how you folded and glued the half-signatures into the scrapbook paper "folios". *Update* I love making these! Handy hint for using the vintage Little Golden Books: I use ArmorAll to clean and spiff up the outside covers. They tend to feel a little grimy from being in thrift stores.

Absolutely amazing. They are activity books, journals, scrapbook, kits etc…yes 33$ is fair. I love that you maintained the integrity of the little golden book

I love your process. The best I’ve seen. I’m definitely going to give it a try. I don’t even think $40 is enough. ...Your time, talent and the cost of materials.....Beautiful work. You’re more gifted than you know.❤️🌺❤️

Love the way you put these books together so beautifully and somewhat with ease. Thank you for the tutorial.

They are AMAZING! I LOVE them! Wow, thanks for sharing how you made them! I hope to try one!

When your Fabri Tac gets too thick use a little acetone to thin it out. The journals are amazing.

I love these books so much. You do an amazing job. I definitely made it to the end so I could see all of the books to choose from.

Thanks for the tutorial! My brain’s inspired! I have several vintage little golden books that I need to turn into journals.

Love these! thanks for the walk through and tutorial! ❤️

I absolutely adore these xx

They all came out so beautiful!! What a fabulous idea!! ❤

It's the 1st time I've seen these and I love them. ❤ Thanks for a great tutorial. I gave all my children's Golden books away when they outgrew them so I will have to buy some of these books to make a journal. What a great idea.

These are absolutely Precious! You've truly done an outstanding job! & Yes, I made it until the end! LOL

Beautiful Deanna! Thanks for the tutorial!

Hi, watched another fantastic video to the end. Great inspiration. I love them. Thanks again xx

I loved this video. Thank u for sharing. ☃️

Thx U for sharing. Absolutely brilliant, it brings excitement as you scan through the pages.

Super cute.love it

What a nifty way of putting LGB’s together. This looks a lot simpler than everything else I’ve seen, and a I’ve been doing this for several years. $30 is a good price for your books. I’m sorry you fell bc it’s very painful. I fell on Saturday, and it hurt a lot, but I think I’m going to be ok. Enjoy your little books at your craft show.

They are all Sooooo Awesome 👍👍🥰

Thank you for your inspiration! I have so many golden books! I'm definitely going to be trying this style

This is great the way you made these! So quick and easy! Thank you so much for your tutorial!!

Totally love them!

I love this idea! Santa's Surprise Book is one of my favorites.

Oh my goodness! They're soo adooorable!!! Love love them! Tyfs Hugs ❤ Blessings 💗 😊

Great lil book i love it

Cutest idea I’ve seen for Little Golden Books! ❤️

what a great idea! I am going to head to the thrift store today to try and find a couple books- thanks so much!

Those are beautiful thanks for sharing

These are so cute. Thank you. Blesings.

Love your golden books!

Love how you put this together love all your books

Hi crafty Deanna very pretty and festive holiday and classic Golden books journals 👍🏻

Love this! What a wonderful idea. I have all my daughters golden box from her childhood and she is 35 now and I’m thinking this would be a great idea to make journals for her. Thanks for sharing this. 💕💕

These are so cute and adorable ¡

These are super cute, precious❤🌺😊

I finally understand the process. Thank you for the beautiful tutorial ❤

Yes, I watched it all, and love these books!! I have been wanting to do something with a Golden book, and so I had to watch this. I love how it all came together! They are all precious, that vintage one would be hard for me to let go of!! I have saved this video to my favorites so that I will be able to easily find it. Thanks so much for sharing your process, you always have such great ideas!! Happy crafting, and I hope your bumps and bruises have healed by now and your hubby feels all better too!

Truly priceless in my opinion! I have 2 of the books now. My plan was to scan the pages and use them to make sets of ornaments on wood circles. I definitely will make one of these, and my wheels are turning as to other holiday themes I I have papers for. Thank you so much for sharing this! It's my first time to see one completed. I was mesmerized by the whole process!

Beautiful work…I cannot wait to try this idea. You’ll have to keep us posted as to whether they were a craft fair hit 🤗

Love this so much!!

These are so cute!

They’re adorable ❣

Thanks Deanna for sharing your technique….love these..

I do remembering that you did this process video before, but I'm so glad you decided to repeat it. I ordered some little golden Christmas books and also found a Halloween one. I think everyone will get a Christmas one this year and my granddaughters will also get the Halloween one. Love this type of album, it's different and cute. $30 - $35 sounds good, a lot of work and product went into making them. Yes, I watched to the end. Thanks again.

Looks great❤

Love these so much

Adorable little books, so sweet.

This is the best golden book journal tutorial I have seen. This makes me feel like I can actually do this and not be overwhelmed. Thank you so much

So sweet, Deanna! Thanks for the excellent tutorial! From Cheryl in AZ

I am so excited to make one of these books. If you only knew how grateful I am to you for making this video. It's very well done. You are the best and have a generous soul. Thank you.

Deanna, your method for the pages are my favorite! I tried it with your last LGB tutorial and will not use another method! 😊

Made it to the end......Thank You Great Tips! I have some Golden Books I would like to try.

Adorable!!!!

So cute. 💕

I literally just tried a junk journal for the first time last night (using a different method) WITH THIS SAME BOOK! 😂 I can't wait to try with the ribbon and elastic on the spine! Super cute! Thanks for sharing

I love Golden Book journals. I’ve never made one but it’s on my list of things I want to make. Thank you for the tutorial. Your journals are always so nice. Sorry about your fall. Hope you feel better! ❤️

These are amazing Deanna!! You did a spectacular job!! Love LGB journals and especially in vintage Halloween and Christmas themes. 🦇☠👻🎅💗

Wow Deanna you have been a busy bee!! Love them all. You did an awesome job and I am sure you will sell them all! Hope your knee and your toe will be better tomorrow keep nursing the toe!

I really love these books. I’m going to attempt to make two for my grands! I’m so glad you are ok after that little trip! I stepped off a curb and it was deeper than I thought and I broke an ankle a few years back!

So sorry to hear you injured yourself. Hopefully you’ll be 100% healed soon! I love your tutorial’s , so relaxing. Praying your hubby feels better 🙏🏽. TFS 😍🌟

Thank you for sharing your techniques. Using Tyvek on the spine is one I'm going to use. Beautiful job.

These are wonderful!!!

I made it to the end twice. My second time watching it. Thank you. I love them.

I broke bones falling like you did. Thank goodness you are ok. I am elder and new to book crafting. Love your videos!
