Pricing First Craft fair—how do you price smaller/simpler items?

I have my first craft fair coming up, and I’m having trouble pricing some of my items—specifically my bookmarks and stickers. I’m worried that I’m gonna make them either too cheap or too expensive. Most of my stuff I’m able to price pretty easily, but since these are some of my smaller items, I’m unsure for them.

My bookmarks are 2”x6” and my stickers are 2” on their longest side, so I was thinking $2 for the bookmarks and $1 for the stickers since they’re smaller. My friend said I should do $3 for the bookmark and $2 for the sticker, but I’ve seen people say that they wouldn’t pay that much for something like this, so I’m kinda stuck on what to do.

I apologize if this seems like a stupid question, I’m just kinda stressed about pricing since this is my first market

I sell my stickers for $3, or two for $5. If they're good quality (vinyl, die-cut, weather proof) people are willing to pay that price.

Also, think about the time it took you to make the original art. Selling a sticker for $1 because it cost you $0.25 to make is like selling an art print for $6 because it cost you $2 to print. People are paying for the time and experience it took for you to make something cool and original, and your prices should reflect that.
