Crafting Cookbook Studio

Inventory and pricing for makers

Know what every handmade product really costs before you price it.

Crafting Cookbook helps artists and product-based makers turn raw materials into beautifully costed products through recipe-driven inventory, thoughtful pricing, and a pantry that keeps pace as costs evolve.

Crafting Cookbook is free to use while we're in early access.

  • Price each product with more clarity and less guesswork.
  • Save repeatable recipes for the things you already make.
  • Keep your pantry current as supply costs shift over time.

Who it's for

Made for artists and makers who have outgrown spreadsheets but still want something beautiful and easy.

My Pantry

Keep a visual inventory of raw materials, quantities on hand, and current costs.

Product Recipes

Turn each product into a repeatable recipe with materials, labor, and waste built in.

Pricing Clarity

See your make cost, selling costs, and margin targets before you list or wholesale.

Store Run Updates

Bring new purchases back into the studio and update your cost picture without the guesswork.

What it solves

No more underpricing, forgotten supply costs, or guessing what you can actually make next.

  • See the true cost of each handmade item.
  • Spot where labor, fees, and packaging affect your margins.
  • Save product recipes so repeat builds are fast and consistent.

What to do next

Step into the studio and start with one product you already make.

Add your materials, build the recipe, and let the pricing inspector show you what that product needs to earn.

Currently free to use in early access.

When spreadsheets start to fray

At first it is one file. Then it becomes pricing, recipes, supply costs, and crossed fingers.

Most makers do not leave spreadsheets because they dislike them. They leave when too many connected decisions depend on a system that is no longer easy to trust.

  • Repeated formulasEach new product or variation means rebuilding the same math again.
  • Stale material costsOne new purchase can quietly leave old pricing tabs behind.
  • Disconnected inventory and pricingIt gets harder to tell what a product really costs or what you can still make.
