You have to figure on being able to produce 4 of these prints per yard - so you will need 3 yards per color/layer. if a yard costs approximately $7, then you have $21 cost per color x 3 colors = $63 in material. If you wan to make 50% margin on the decoration you would need to sell it for double, so $126.
now your labor...
This job will probably take you 5-8 minutes per piece counting art time - so figure on 90 minutes in labor. If you are paying yourself $20 per hour, you will have $30 in labor.
$30 + $126 = $156 / 12 pieces = $13 per piece (so the $12 estimation was pretty good!)
Also be sure to make them sign off on a waiver that you are not responsible for their garment, basically that your liability does not exceed the cost of the decoration.
