I'm making this thread before I forget, but I am going to be working on starting up an Etsy shop that sells hand made crocheted cat toys that are filled with catnip. There will be several options:
Fish:
Mice:
Octopus (This is not my picture, and is instead from the pattern that I am working off of. The pattern creator gives permission for selling things made with the pattern if they are given credit)
For cat toys, I WILL NOT be using safety eyes, and instead will be using embroidery floss to put small eyes on my fish, octopi, and jellyfish.
There is also a jellyfish that I do not have a picture of, but it is made from the octopus pattern and long tentacles are added.
These will be made with Lion Brand Anti Pilling Acrylic Yarn and filled with catnip, using Loops and Threads Classic Fiber Fill Stuffing to cap off the ends and keep all catnip inside.
Each one will be offered in all colors of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple) I will put a link to the Etsy shop when it is up and running.
I am not completely sure of pricing yet, as I need to figure out how much it costs to make one cat toy, and how much time I spend. The larger ones like the fish and jellyfish will probably be somewhere from $7-$11, and the smaller ones will probably be somewhere from $5-$8.
I am trying to figure out interest in each of these so I can figure out how many to make before opening the shop. If you'd be interested, either actually interested or theoretically interested, please reply to the thread with this:
Would you be interested in buying one of these?
Why or why not?
If you would, which type would you be most interested in? Which color?
Thank you for your time!
