Appliques Now Sold in Single Colors

Sequin Clips Covers for round snap clips
We have been receiving emails the past couple years from some people who wish to purchase only a single color from our appliques instead of purchasing the variety pack. In order to better meet the demand of our master crafters, we have started to move our appliques into single colors. We have also lowered the quantity in which we sell them so that multiple colors can be purchased. We have begun this process by making all of our new appliques sold in single colors.
Double Padded Sequin Butterflies
Be sure that when you purchase your appliques, look at the title to see if they are sold in single colors. If they are, please go into the listing to pick the color. Once an applique has been changed into single colors, we will be unable to send variety packs.
We are busy little bees and are working on these listings. Please be on the look out for when the appliques transition into single colors. We appreciate your patience when it comes to such a drastic change, especially with the number of appliques that we sell.
Sequin Skulls and Cross Bones
Occasionally, an order will come through without a color chosen. If this happens, you will be notified to choose a color. If we do not receive a response within two days, we will refund the appliques and send the rest of the order. We understand how busy crafters can get and may not have time to check their email so we want to make sure that we do not hold up the rest of the items.

Plastic Headbands & GIVEAWAY

Our plastic headbands are great for lining with ribbon and adding embellishments. We sell a wide variety of plastic headbands. It is like shopping in a candy store, there is so much to choose from!

We have three styles of headbands. We have regular plastic headbands, plastic headbands with teeth, and non-tapered headbands. Our plastic headbands with teeth are great for those active children and adults. The teeth provide a grip so that they stay put throughout the day.

Most of our plastic headbands come in both black and white. The white headbands are not bleach white but more if like an ivory. Our headbands can be worn as is but most choose to line them with ribbon and decorate them.

The non-tapered headbands are the same width from end to end. This makes it easy for those who want to line the top of the headband with either a headband liner or ribbon. We offer non-tapered in both 5mm and 14mm. We currently do not have ribbon small enough to line the 5mm but you can easily wrap ribbon around these. In order to line the 14mm non-tapered headbands, 5/8" Ribbon works best to cover the entire width of the headband. You can use 1/2" ribbon but since the headband is exactly 1/2" in width, it can be a little hard.

The plastic headbands come in a wide variety of sizes. Below is a list of all of the plastic headbands that you can find in our shop.

 - 5mm white non-tapered                            - 20mm white
