Change is Good!

A few months ago I had a customer that requested a custom order for two headbands for her daughter. She requested that they be wide at the top and then taper down the sides. When I finished the order I was really impressed with how they came out and thought that it made the finished product look more professional and more like the traditional plastic headband but of course without the headache! I thought about changing my design but was in the midst of craft shows and could not afford production delays due to a new style. Recently I bought some slightly fancier fabrics and thought that they would look better with the new design. Before experimenting with the satin, I picked up some great new fabrics (see them in my shop) and gave it a try. The final product is still 2" wide at the top by gradually tapers down the side to 1" at the bottom. The picture below demonstrates the difference.


I think that the new design will help the headband fit better. Lately for some of my customers the 2" wide all around was a bit too wide for their head. I have decided to use the new design from this point forward. I will continue to sell through my current inventory but if the old style is not available, all new orders will get this new design. I will also begin the process of updating all of the pictures on my site as the new style are created! If you prefer the old look, just ask me and I can still make it for you that way! I am usually not a big fan of change but I think in this case it works! You are still getting the same quality headband made with awesome fabrics, the design is just a little more fabulous!
