A day in Keepsel, for home decor makers
Wind in the materials
Cotton cord by the foot, dowels and rings by the piece, beads and dyes alongside.
Build each design's recipe
The wall hanging's 120 feet of cord and its dowel, plus, from the Maker plan, two knotting hours at your honest rate.
Make and count
From the Maker plan, a work order for finished pieces draws cord and hardware down and adds them to finished stock, customs included (work orders up to 10 a month on Maker as a trial and 100 on Team, unlimited on Business and Enterprise).
Balance the catalog
From the Maker plan, with your time in each size's cost and your sales recorded, ask Suli which sizes earn most, so the next making day goes to statements or sellers.
Built around how home decor makers actually work
Hours are the material
A large wall hanging is two hours of knotting around five dollars of cord. From the Maker plan, your time counts in each piece's cost: the difference between a priced piece and a donated evening.
Cord by the spool, used by the foot
A kilo spool becomes wall hangings, plant hangers and keychains. Track cord by the foot, and each design's recipe takes its share of the spool honestly.
Custom sizes, custom quotes
The six-foot commission over someone's headboard needs a price today. Scale a known recipe (cord, dowel, and from the Maker plan your hours) and quote large customs from small certainties.
Big pieces anchor, small pieces sell
Statement pieces draw the eye; plant hangers pay the booth fee. With your time in each piece's cost (from the Maker plan), every margin shows the mix that makes a market day work; the free pricing calculator shows your real hourly earnings.
Macramé Wall Hanging, costed line by line
This is the math Keepsel does for every product you make: every line from its recipe, updated whenever a material's price changes. Your time counts from the Maker plan.
Materials are 17% of this piece: decor pricing that only marks up cord is working for tips.

Questions home decor makers ask
How do I price macramé and fiber wall art?
Cord, dowel and packaging are the easy part; the knotting hours are the real cost. Price from materials plus honest labor plus margin, and the $65 wall hanging becomes defensible math instead of a nervous guess. From the Maker plan, Keepsel counts that time in each product's cost.
How do I track cord and rope usage?
By the foot: each design's recipe takes its footage from the spool's count, so you can tell whether the spool covers the weekend's orders before you cut the first length.
How should I quote custom-size decor commissions?
Scale a known recipe: cord and hours grow with the dimensions. A quote grounded in a proven smaller piece survives the build; a vibes quote on a six-foot custom rarely does. From the Maker plan, Keepsel counts that time in each product's cost.
Which home decor pieces should I make more of?
The ones that earn per hour, not just per sale. A $20 plant hanger at 40 minutes can out-earn a $65 statement at two hours. Work out per-hour profit across the catalog (the free pricing calculator shows it) and the production plan gets obvious. From the Maker plan, Keepsel counts that time in each product's cost.
Can I track dyed and natural versions of the same piece?
Yes. From the Maker plan, colorways can be variations, with the dyed version carrying its dye cost. Each version's true margin decides whether the color premium is priced right.
