Houses
Doll houses have been collectible toys for all ages starting from the 16th century. Once only affordable for the upper class, doll houses often were modeled after the family home or famous building. By the mid-19th century mass production began making them more common. Through the years, hand-crafted doll houses continue to be admired by both collectors and children. Building them is a rewarding hobby and can be profitable.
Instructions
1. Calculate the total cost of the supplies used in making the doll house. Don't forget to include costs of items only partly used such as glue and paint. Log these costs in a notepad or on a computer spread sheet.
2. Decide what your hourly wage is worth. This number varies widely among craftsmen based on skill, competition and buying trends. You don't want to undersell yourself, but neither do you want to be so overpriced that customers buy from someone else.
3. Add the supply costs and labor costs to determine the price of the doll house. Compare your prices with other craftsmen. You may have to adjust your prices higher or lower to be competitive.
