how much would you pay for a pencil case made of recycled caprisun drink pouches?

I have been trying to find some unusual craft items to sell at craft shows an flea markets. I am looking for things that do not cost me much money to make, but people will pay decent money for. So far I have had good luck with crochet key rings that can hold a lip balm or a Bic lighter. I just found the instructions for making small zipper pouches and lunch bags out of left over caprisun pouches. How much would you pay for these items? Any other items you would like to see made?

Update:

I have also been experimenting with a crochet case to hold like 3-4 tampons in your purse,diaper bags,etc.

I have been charging $1 for lip balm key rings, $2 for lighter key rings. I am thinking $2 -$4 for the caprisun cases. The zippers for the caprisun pouches will likely be about $1 each. The tampon cases will likely be $4-5.

Update 2:

I am not an artist, let alone a recognized one, in anything. I am just a mom with 2 special needs kds that I need to stay home with. there is just something in me that needs to be doing *something* and earning some money of my own. I was making fleece blankets with crochet trim, but I am having trouble finding a market for them...

    That's difficult to answer if you don't have a picture and further information such as are you an artist? are you recognized in the crafts field?

    I have seen handbags made out of old metal ad displays selling for as much as $200 and even evening purses made out of cigar boxes retailing for $50 to $75 but these were all from recognized artists.

    I have seen odd materials used in bags and lunch boxes and they retail for $2-$25.

    Lastly I found this article in the net and I quote "The Drink Pouch products are very well made and are as stylish as they are eco-friendly! I like the fact that they’re easy to clean, and because of the stiffness of the juice pouches, the bags don’t collapse when there’s nothing in them. All these items are extremely affordable, at $1.99 for the pencil case, $9.99 for the tote bag, and $17.99 for the backpack. You can find them at Target, Office Max, Walgreens, and other retailers nationwide, as well as on Target.com."

    I hope this helps you.

    I would pay $1-$2 for a pencil case. For a lunch bag, i'd probably pay about $5.

    absolutely everyone seems to be already eating animal, human urine that has been recycled. i in my opinion do no longer desire to call the water businesses that do it because of fact it particularly does not matter till you flavor the pee.
