basic necklace with a charm of the type found in claires:
lobster clasp: 5p
chain: 4p
jump rings: 4p
charm: 15p
2 minutes (VERY generously. ive never timed myself on that but earrings takes me 57 seconds? so) labour minimum wage: 38p
total cost 66p
being a crafter is so weird because it's like. here's a necklace that between materials and minimum wage labour cost me £1 to make. you will happilly pay me £6 for it because the same thing in claire's is £15. here's a blanket that between materials and half minimum wage labour cost me £700 to make. you will tell me to fuck off because you can buy a blanket in a shop for £100.
