Ayla of Duluth

So I was asked to perform as Mermaid Ayla at a music and arts festival on June 15th, and I asked the person in charge if I could set up a table to sell some merch/crafts that I made, and I got the go ahead.
I'll be selling:
-White bandanas with my logo screen printed on it
-Pale blue bandanas with my portrait screen printed on it (the one designed by Azurin Luna)
-Mermaid fluke necklace pendants and keychains (about half will be painted like my tail and half will be painted random other colors)
-You know those little flower veils with the ribbons hanging off the back for kids that they sell at renn fests and such? I'm making a few of those
-Hair barrettes decorated with seashells, seaweed and pearls
I figured I'd charge $5 for everything except the barrettes which I think will be $.50 and the bandanas that will be (maybe) $10. My idea is that I really don't want to go to the festival with a bunch of ones for change, and I don't want to undersell myself. A lot of these crafts took a ton of time to make. Especially these veils. But I don't want to over charge my customers and discourage sales. So I was wondering what you all would suggest charging for each of the crafts, and even if you had any ideas for more crafts I could bring to sell at the festival. :)
