Felt price at Penang

I always wish to prepare a starter kit for new crafter so he/she can have a feel of making a felt craft without paying much as I do at the beginning.

My first time seeing felt craft was more than 10 years ago. At that time, I have totally no idea where to buy felt cloth and how to start. After 4-5 years down the road, finally I manage to get some felt cloth from sewing accessories shop and 1 piece of 15cm x 15cm cost me RM2.50 and A4 size was about RM3.50 per piece! I told myself that time, nah! Just forgot about it, the money is more useful in other stuff than making this hobby. By that time, Internet has become very common and more and more people start to upload their hand craft in the Internet. Without fail, on and off I still keep looking at people's work until today.

3 years back, the price of felt came down from RM3.50 per piece to RM2.20 - RM1.70 per piece and at one time it was RM1.50 per piece. Later when the cotton's price shoots up, the price of a felt cloth is back to RM1.70 at market price. It had become an affordable hobby these few years and in the Sunday market, we can see more and more people making it to sell. This is eventually a good sign for me ^^

When I did my research online, I found out the price at Northern and KL are almost the same but eventually there are supplier in the South can give fairy good price for large piece order. Well, in this online market, the price is very competitive. The nett earning is very minimal and we can hardly earn more for raw materials. Anyway, it is still a good try right?

After 2 years running my online shop (to the accurate, the first year was just testing water), I found out that the services which I able to provide to my customer had made them become my recurring customer. Some of them even order from me since day one. Here I would like to thanks to all my customers for their strong support. Hopefully I can keep serving them as far as I could go... ^^
