Beaded Outfit Questions?

Lone Horse · 11-07-2005, 06:58 AM

What would a person charge for a beaded outfit for 7 y/o boy, headband, cuffs, etc.? ballpark figure

What are the really shiny beads called? you know, the ones that get you noticed.

Do all of GDers items have to be beaded?

Do GDers have to carry something in thier hand?

the really shiny beads are called 2-cut or 3-cut beads (general cut beads). not all items have to be beaded - could all be cloth applique if you wish (all beaded for a 7 year old could be very very expensive and they grow FAST). it all depends what you have time/money to do. not all do carry something in their hand - but it's all personal perference - what you feel comfortable carrying/not carrying.

as for what to charge for regalia for a seven year old - depends on all beaded, all cloth applique, mixture of both, size and type of bead used (cutbead = more expensive), who you are hiring and "how "fast" do you need it?" all would contribute to the cost ...
