I use an inventory software called CraftyBase to keep track of the supplies I have for students and how to put a price on my materials kits. I don’t love the cost at $39/month but it really does help me keep track materials costs and the value of what I provide in the materials fees, including my time to package the kits. I started using this to put a price on my finished rugs and other artwork and to keep track of my supplies, but for teaching I am finding it useful to understand if I have enough materials to make kits for my next class and how much I need to order.
I’ve actually considered teaching a class in this software someday if the company will let me.
I’m including an example of a small kit I’m making for an upcoming class.
