Yeah right you are , I make 2 sizes ( real thick hair and not so thick hair ) and thinking about doing some smaller for little girls . 8 hours ago, Frodo said: All BS aside little itty bitty purses. 4” x 4” Like shown below are popular with woman because if “woman’s stuff” Nice !!!

Gezzer Report post Posted October 21, 2023 More women's stuff . I tried this back in July and the test girl says that one is holding up quite well ( metal barrette and contact is still holding tight ) . I wasn't sure if the contact would hold under tension and compression but I am starting to think it might .Just another off the wall idea of mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Woman here... @Gezzer those are really nice! Love the shape and the elegant pattern as well. Very versatile, which is important. A suggestion - why not make some with embossed leather scraps as well? I do that because sometimes, tooled ones might not match with outfits. (I do not really tool as yet, but that is a different matter!). If you are selling them, you might reach a wider range of people. It will be an easy job too - no tooling, just slap on a liner if too soft or thin, cut and complete. You make such beautifully shaped barrettes, they are sure to be a hit.

Gezzer Report post Posted October 22, 2023 Thank you for the kind words @SUP . I may try a couple out of suede , maybe a different color for the liner than the top side .....good idea thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
