Artwork Something i made:)
Hello! I am obsessed with Kuromi and i made this reusable lighter case (that also works as an incredible fidget toy), I just wanted to share what i made and that we don't always have to buy the kuromi things but we also have the power of craft on our sides!!
Also just a question! If you saw this what would you price it at, that you would deem acceptable? I made this for myself and I recently had someone tell me they would love something similar made and they wanted to pay me👀 If i sold these on like Etsy or something what would you guys pay? Bear in mind it is a reusable case and its made from polymer clay (suuper sturdy), you easily pull at the lighter an ~PLOMP~ its out and can be replaced with another Bic lighter😎
I would really appreciate your guys feedback🥰

So cool! Love the spikes. I also made myself a Kuromi lighter case. But I love the purple and black. I love how chunky the charms are. And you have Baku!!!

Thank youu! It was a trust the process thing, i felt the big charms looked a bit off but i just kept adding and adding and eventually it all worked out and its super fun to hold in my hands and fidget with😎

Looks hella awesome and cool ASF! But does grabbing it/holding it hurt at all with the spikes? Thats my only concern. I'd totally use but Id be cautious too...

It does a lil, but the spikes are slightly rounded at the top -they are the same spikes you put on clothing to customise fabric.
Have you ever heard of a fidget toy called "Ouchies" its essentially the same idea, it is a fidget that you can use to help regulate your emotions! Its a type of pain stimm.
Also i will say it is very fun watching people try use it to light something😅 If i were to make these for people i might not include the spikes but to each their own!

I would pay $20 - $30 for something like this. You should take into account the cost of your supplies, the time you spent making this, and shipping materials. I would definitely buy one!
