My Classmates Said These Don’t Look Good — Honest Feedback on My Handmade Charms?

I recently started making handmade beaded charms for phones, bags, and keychains, and these are some of the first ones I made.

The reason I’m asking for honest opinions is because something happened in class today that made me overthink them a bit. We’re making handmade farewell gifts for seniors, and when I showed these, some classmates indirectly suggested that they “don’t look good,” “look too traditional,” or may not work as gifts. So now I genuinely want outside opinions instead of just sitting in my head about it 😅

Please be brutally honest:

Do these look sellable as phone charms, bag charms, or keychains?

Would adding extra charms/pearls/ribbons/metal pieces make them better?

What exactly should I improve — colors, bead type, shape, finishing, aesthetic, etc.?

What price range/budget usually works for handmade charms like these?

I’d really appreciate genuine feedback, whether positive or critical, because I actually want to improve and maybe sell handmade accessories in the future.

Thinking of starting a handmade crochet scarf line -would styles like these sell in India? 🧶✨

Really obsessed with these cozy Pinterest-style crochet aesthetics and I’ve been thinking of starting a small handmade scarf line inspired by this vibe.

I want to make scarves that feel more artsy cute and stylish instead of just basic winter wear.

These pictures are just references/inspirations for the kind of vibe I want to create.. I’ll obviously make my own versions/designs.

Do you guys think there’s actually a market for aesthetic handmade scarves in India?

And realistically, what price range would you pay for something handmade like this?

Would genuinely love opinions before I invest more time and material into it 🫶

Made these recently

What do we think about the designs? Should I continue with these minimal ones or the bigger ones like the last? All are handmade wire jewellery pieces with real crystals and gems.

Is this store legit? dawbu

I've been meaning to make a gift hamper for my boyfriend and would like to include one of something that is lego adjacent but affordable still. I came across this on my Instagram feed and cannot find anything on them besides sponsored posts and would like to know if anyone has purchased something from them?

Would love genuine opinions before these go live!

So happy to finally post here about this launch, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time changing tiny details, i am a designer and stylist hence this brand became part of my personality atp.
I didn’t start this business to just earn money(i know everyone says that), i want to honestly create something which makes me feel good and give people in India options, who don’t wanna buy the same black bags especially men.

I you’re a fan of brands like Patagonia(love them), we’re not exactly same (obviously we can’t be) but we’d love to follow their footsteps, we have used ripstop thats been used in outdoor gears and hiking bags with recycled polyester(tiny steps), so these bags are hella strong (please don’t mind my not so professional pitch)

So before I finally put them out there —
would you actually wear these? Do ask let me know if you have any questions!

How much I pay for each parcel:

I have a jewellery business and ship orders through India post. I charge ₹60 as shipping fee from customers as people hate paying for shipping and more=worse. And it is understandable from customers point of view as even I don't like to pay it when buying something online. But since India post has increased the charges now I'm loosing money. I have to pay from my own pocket. If I increase the fee, it's gonna cost me my sales. Any private courier services charge too much(more than ₹100). I got to know few days ago that shadowfax has comparatively lower charges but gst number is necessary to use the app and I don't have it yet. I am really confused as to what I should do now. Please share your experiences with private couriers. In the last slide, the charge was 55 because weight was <50 grams. Others are 50>100 grams.

Update:- made this baby some silly headbands 😭😭

I made the tofu 2.0 some silly headbands and I can't stop laughing😭😭 It's 39 inches long and still up for a grab at 1159 with free shipping along with these headbands and detachable arms. I can make customized headbands at a small additional fee. (Guys i promise it's not flipping anyone off😅)
