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 !!! I might be up to that much hand stitching , I may borrow this idea . 1 hour ago, chuck123wapati said: Very nice Chuck !!!! Quote
Members Gezzer Posted October 21, 2023 Author Members Report 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
Members SUP Posted October 21, 2023 Members Report 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.

Members Gezzer Posted October 22, 2023 Author Members Report 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
Members Gezzer Posted November 26, 2023 Author Members Report Posted November 26, 2023 Daughter found this type of clip somewhere , they have more surface area and will be what I end up using . Quote
