If you sell them for $5, someone might just buy 50 of them and turn around and sell them on Etsy for triple that.

This is good advice

Years ago I enjoyed ceramics - had my own moulds and kiln and loved it. When orders started coming in for one Christmas tree after another with more and more adornments on them I got so sick of them I eventually gave up and sold all my stuff. Will you still enjoy making the 50th as much as the first?

Nice wallet. $10 - $15 would be my thought as far as pricing.

Not less than $10 - maybe more for "custom" colors. You have fabric, velcro, time and talent invested. Plus, only the ones who truly want it will pay for your efforts. Sad to say, but there are many who would just like a "gift".
