Finding Value in My Product

This week I have been working a lot on my bead making. I am using different colors of the bake in the oven clay to construct various designs. I will be posting pictures soon. While I was sitting down kneading the clay together to form the beads I realized how much supplies I had. I can probably make over 20 different types of necklaces and bracelets with all of the supplies I have. I spent forty dollars on all my supplies, so I am making an item of hemp jewelry for about two dollars. At a store people will usually pay around fifteen dollars or more for a handmade hemp necklace at a head shop type store. Ones that are sold premade are also usually at least ten dollars. I am saving large amounts of money by making my own hemp jewelry. I am finding a lot of product value in my handmade items. The materials I am using are very durable. Hemp lasts for a long time and the oven baked breads are also extremely durable. After firing, the clay beads are very hard to break. I have a large variety of items I can make, and the best thing is the price tag was really not all that bad when I think about it. The hemp jewelry is very functional. It makes really comfortable necklaces and bracelets that will always be in style.
