We have the handling of the film part down. In a dark room one person takes a film sheet out and gives it to someone else to load the camera. They then seal the rest of the package with tape.

The hardest part seems to be the rolling of the chemicals for development. The issue is securing the image in place. We have tried multiple methods and the one that worked the best was taping the image from the back and rolling it with a rolling pin.

Bowl of oranges.

Pretty cool -- seems like you're on a good track.
As to Polaroid prices, I don't think you'll do much better than what you already found.
