| So Iv had what i think is a brilliant idea! Baically im going to make baby hairbands with a popper on and then attatch a popper to various things like lovely butterflies and flowers, bows, bugs, all sorts. Hopefully ill be good at this as its a tiny bit of simple sewing and gluing! basically id sell the headband with the popper in a few different colours/styles, and then sell the 'attatchments' seperately. Id probably sell the headband with a simple cheap attatchment to start with. Kinda like a charm headband! what do you all think? |

| i think its a great idea, but dont just stick to babies, my neices aged 3 and 6 would love that idea, a hairband they can dress down for school and dress up to go out.
i think its a great idea hun, quick copywrite it xx |

| I've seen them before with crocodile clips or velcro but they've never had much choice - so if you had a good choice and did multipacks etc i reckon it would be good!

| yeh, did you see they sell the crochet headbands in packs of 12 all different colors?! They would be ace with extra little crochet bits to stick on them!
I was thinking if it was me - what I'd like to see on ebay is plainish headbands (not lacy), maybe like a 2 textured velvet, or just plain colours with a large selection of the bits to clip on, and say they would be a certain price for a headband plus 5 clip ons and I could pick 5 out of all the ones you do. rather than having to buy them separately. reason being is I have a fair amount of headbands and the ones that look nicest with the flowers etc are the narrower plain ones. I have a wide lacy one and it wouldnt look right with an attachment, and also the lacy ones would 'droop'if the attachment weighed much |

| She still makes them..just not listed..shows what her hair bands look like on previous sales. Sometimes she does auctions on fb for items. I also bought some newsboy hats from her..they are gorgeous! xxx |

| interchangeable headbands are a great idea, i buy them from etsy too but mainly from US sellers, i think theres a huge gap in the UK market for non fussy headbands, simple band with a nice motif, here's a seller i buy from for some inspiration.

| what i really wanted was more of the pink elastic the thin one in the pic, but in different colours. its really easy to sew and quite good at not drooping. i quite like the plain coloured crochet headbands and iv got some white thin elastic coming. im gonna get sophie to model some of what iv made so far tomorrow and see what you think lol xxx |

| To be honest the one I like is the thin pink one - I think the thick lacy ones look funny and no quite right as headbands
Well done! |
