I purchased the headband I am looking for at a craft show. I need to buy some more but can't find anything that resembles mine. Here is a description: 18-24 inch of black velvet sewn length wise with a light weight wire inside. Both ends are sewn shut. I wrap it around my head then twist the two ends together at the front of my head and then make it look like a bow... or I just tuck the ends under the headband. Any idea where I might find something like that? |

Do you sew? If so, you could probably make something like that. It would require a piece of velvet from the scraps bin and two pieces of wire. You'd need a long strip of velvet to fold lengthwise, and then sew two "boning channels" for the wire. Kind of like wired ribbons for holidays Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

| Unfortunately, I don't sew. I don't have a sewing machine either not sure something like this would hold up if done by hand. Thanks for your respnse though! |

If you have any information on the person or company you bought it from, you may be able to contact them for more. If you got a receipt for your purchase, the information might be there, or if there's some sort of program for the fair that might list the vendors. . . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I may have come across something. I have ordered two potential headbands. One is a small embroidered sash/belt. I am hoping all I will need to do is insert some wire. here they are, and on sale! http://www.buckle.com/shopping/product/anotherView.jsp?iProductID=11852&iAlt=1 - http://www.buckle.com/shopping/product/anotherView.jsp?iProd uctID=11852&iAlt=1 and http://www.buckle.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=13266 - http://www.buckle.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemTy pe=PRODUCT&itemID=13266
