While, I'd still like to sell more of these items, let's look at what's working for them.
They're both at a price point that can be an easy decision - both less than $10.
They can be made quickly, as long as I have the supplies around.
The felted soap especially, has done well offline. I think it has benefited by people being able to see how good it smells, and no shipping if you're buying in person. Plus its a natural item made with handmade soap, a small luxury or a break from all the chemicals we are bombarded with.
They're unique. I haven't seen anyone else making the same style of buttons, and while there are plenty of felted soaps out there, they are a small percentage of handmade soap in general and they're all different- different scents, colors, made with different oils, etc.
Quality is important too! The buttons are sturdy. I've never had a problem with one breaking. The felted soap is made with quality ingredients and without the nasty stuff that's in a lot of commercial soaps or detergents and then wrapped in wool one by one.
I enjoy making them. Without that there would be no point.
All together these are products that are working for me and I can continue making.
