If I were to offer a 12 Days of Christmas chainmail kit, would people be interested? I have thoughts, but I'd love input, whether you'd actually buy it or not.
It would be a kit where you make a section each day for 12 days (the 12 days of Christmas are actually meant to be after Christmas, so they'd be a great Christmas gift). You'd end up with a necklace and earrings most likely, or maybe a necklace and bracelet. Might offer both options.
I'm thinking $30-$40ish for a set that, if I made it, I'd charge $70-$100+. Possibly a slightly higher option if you need the pliers as well.
What would be included:
A small organizer container
Stainless steel rings separated into sizes for the pieces you'll be making.
Spikes, bells, earwires, clasps, etc. Maybe some wire wrapped beads too. Any of the bits and bobs you need to complete the design.
Photo and video tutorials that will be accessible via a QR code that will be sent with the kit.
I'd be available to answer questions (within reason) if needed.
What else would you like to see? If these sell, I may expand and do more in the future that would have things like having you do your own wire wrapped beads, etc, but you need different types of pliers for them, and I think it's better to start out simple.
Is the price ok? Too high? Too low (I know sometimes people don't trust something that's priced too low).
Would you want a mystery design where you wouldn't know what you're making til the end (that would be my preference if I were buying something like this), or would you want to see the finished product before purchasing?
Do you think they'd sell?
Would you like to pre-order? I wouldn't charge til closer to the shipping date. Probably the 1st week of Dec. I have supplies to make at least a few without ordering more.
