Great job...
How did you do the letters? Did you use vinyl self adhesive? Did you cover them with anything to keep prying fingers from removing them? Curious minds need to know..<wink>

kids will love that

Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments. To answer your questions, thecolours I used are from decofin made by talens, used the universal paint can be used on almost anything. I painted the letters on, I used a stencil, drew the letters on in light pencil and painted them over in black. I gave the finished product a coat of spray.
They were really fun to make, have already sold 4.

Thank you for the response on how you did the lettering. Do you mind sharing how much you are able to get in your neck of the woods for them?
-
Snakes freak me out! But that's some nice cuttin' I also like the colors.

Hi Dunk,
I get 7.50 for them in euro's a quick look at the rates would make that about 10 dollars a piece. Some people even said that they would pay more.

David, Up your price. That takes a sizable chunk of lumber. I've made two and made a drawstring bag to put the pieces in. $25.00
-
Thanks Julie,
The drawstring bag is a great idea, will ask my mom if see feels like making me some. I need to learn to saw, maybe I will try it myself.
David

Super easy to do.
-
Thank you both for your input. I know a gal who makes em in Florida and get $50.00 a piece for them that is why i always ask in your neck of the woods...It is amazing what an identical (well nearly identical) item will sell for in different areas.
-
about the drawstring bag, maybe the have cheap one's used for marbles.
I look than in a shop called action. http://www.action.nl/
sometimes they have other stuff in those bag's.
in example:
the mini markers in bag are $ 1,40
the mini wallet 3"x4" for $ 1,--
the paper giftbox $ 0,42 (this one is christmas, but they have many others)
raise the price with the amount it cost and you have the markers for free ;)
-
I thought of that this afternoon when I came from the physio, Action is just one street futher, but I was getting soaked as it was raining hard and my rain cloth were at home, so wanted to get home, will check there next week, I get all my spray paint, brushes etc from them.
Thanks Marcel.
