Giving card boxes to my girl's for their weddings coming up in October is an awesome wedding gift I think. They are customized to their colors and themes and I made with love from my heart that grows stronger each day that I know them. I enjoy making them and can't wait to make more! So...I'm making more and selling them!!!
I am currently using the two I've already made as examples of what I can do and I'll be starting a portfolio so my bride's can flip through the book and see the detail and intricacy that goes into each one. They have been costing me anywhere between $50 to $70 so I'm selling them for $80. I have ordered boxes off a whole sale site and saved some money on the main part of the project. I'm searching Michael's, Hobby Lobby and Joann's for bargain ribbon and I'm stocking up on scrapbooking materials because they are amazing for this hobby I've taken up just recently.
I have posted the two I've made on Etsy to show people what I can do and hopefully I'll get a nibble. I have a lady on Weddingbee that messaged me to see if I could make her one. I hope she messages back and says yes after I told her the price of it...We shall see though. I'm confident I can market these and start a fun hobby on the side.
Not only is it a hobby, it'll help me make more for my business too and save money for my bride's. $80 is a great deal for these! I was looking on Etsy and on google and a single box with a ribbon on it and a silkflower is going for $45-$50. I am doing three boxes and glueing each strand of ribbon to the boxes. Tell me I'm not doing someone a favor out there for selling them for $80!
Well, let me know if you have any ideas on how to market this further or if you have a friend or relative that needs a card box.
