Real Life Party Hats!

[Apith]

Yellow definitely looks better. At first, I thought the red was made out of colored paper.

Hmmm, that's very tempting but my girlfriend is asleep now and I wouldn't dare promise anything she made without talking with her, haha. BUT, I like the interest, it's more than I thought it would be, I will have to weigh it to see how much the US postal service is gona rape me, and I will decide on a price. Keep me in mind though Brbfarmrun, I will most likely have an answer and a price set tomorrow after I talk with her and add up costs, time, shipping costs, etc..........lol

Why ask what people would pay if you'd give them an answer like this. You should be asking if anyone would have any idea on the cost of USPS. Then from there, calculate the material cost and then you can find a price. Once you determine the cost and what you'd like to sell it for, then ask around if anyone would pay that much. Don't forget to take into account how long it takes her to make one, you wouldn't want her making a measly $5 per hour of work she does

lol thats cute.

The yellow one looks comfortable as hell. I'd totally wear one while playing runescape on a cold morning lmao

My apologies for being ambiguous Apith, I didn't expect so much interest honestly, at least not at first and I didn't want to make promises to people I couldn't keep, haha.

As for the USPS prices, seems the best I can get is the flat rate options (I figure I can fit it in a small box or maybe even a small legal sized envelope because of it's flexibility) and that's going to be like $6 for US, $13 for Canada and Mexico, and $17 for anywhere else internationally so UK, etc........

lol thats cool. I think ive seen someone make these before out of hard plastic

 

[Zerkerfist]

Cool stuff man. If you ever want another party hat though, its much easier to buy some Christmas crackers and pull them with the GF for instant riches

 

[sheymyster]

Idk, what if she scams me? LOL, why was this moved to runescape pictures? lol, I used the picture to give a reference for the subject material, which was something I thought qualified for runescape general, hmmmm

IRL Phats, that's actually epic.

The yellow one looks great, you've got some girlfriend .

 

[Guide Sales]

i like the yellow one better nice work on both though=)

 

[sheymyster]

Thanks for the comments guys, I think we may have to get something slightly less thick than what the yellow is made of because it's very thick fleece and it strained the sewing machine pretty bad she said, she don't want to break it, lol.

Also, guide sales is your avatar Dr. House?

Also, where would I sell these on this site if I did?

 

[idrinkgas]

That's really cool, did you make them out of felt or some other sort of material?

 

[sheymyster]

The red one is something similar to spandex (she had some left over from a costume she made) and the yellow is fleece.

 

[<3☻]

They yellow one looks more detailed, the red one looks pretty flimsy.
All around, they look fairly decent.

Also, where would I sell these on this site if I did?

Non-Virtual Items Section. I suggest if/when you do sell it, ask for maybe $20 or so and the buyer covers all fees (Shipping and possibly MM).

 

[Punkerpunk13]

How much did it cost to make?

 

[sheymyster]

If we buy the fabric by the yard and not in scrap pieces it's a little cheaper but it also takes like an hour or so to make one and I split the profits with her, haha. We are going to the store now to see if we can find a fabric in between the red and yellow hat because the red looks too much like construction paper to me and the yellow looks great but it's a bit too heavy for her machine. I will be making a thread in the other section selling these soon but if your reading this thread and are interested shoot me a PM so I can get a feel of how popular these may become, lol.

 

[maxlvs]

I am wondering what the red one was made out of for material?
