Thread: Pumpkin Stencil Price?

Tweet

I started making pumpkin stencils last year and am thinking about beginning to offer them for sale in my Etsy shop but I'm not sure what a fair price would be on them.

My stencils require only the basic carving style - no shaving, etc - which seem to be harder and harder to find anywhere other than mass produced pattern books. They range in carving skill level.

What would you pay for a stencil you "just had to have"? Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated!

Depends.

If it's a pdf download, then no more than $2-3 unless it's REALLY intricate and detailed.
If it's a reuseable plastic stencil that you'd be mailing out, I could see going to $5-7.

I'm thinking downloadable pdf as of right now. Some of them would be extremely detailed, others not as much. Here are two of my stencils, for example:

To give you a comparison, Zombie Pumpkins sells his for 2 for $2, 25 for $5, etc. You can get all of his for $10. Hope this helps you out.

I think Frankie's Girl is right...plus you have to deduct your time, and etsy, and paypal fees. Don't cut yourself short, as your work is beautiful.
