Can't figure it out...

you can buy just one clip... of course they are outrageuosly priced at $4.00 each but then you could get it home and disect it... LOL

Perhaps she is using spray adhesive? I don't know if that would work as it would be pretty delicate to do...I know that she would have to adhere the ribbon within 15 seconds to make it a permanent bond (according to my spray adhesive can).

I saw her clips at a craft show that I was involved in yesterday and while I couldn't see what she was using on her clips (it was packaged), her headbands just use a toggle.

I couldn't find on her website where it says they are machine washable. I did see that someone else said that they were on another site, but I would think she would have that info under the product info. Was this info on her site?

It's under product info for barrettes. It says, "And remember, we are glueless too - our clips can withstand the wash and dryer and never look bumpy or clumpy from glue."

I wouldn't worry about the patent pending.

#1 Anything can be patent pending for YEARS. All you have to do is apply for the patent. She may not get the patent.

#2 It's a Canadian based company, so I would assume even if she does get a patent, it would only apply to Canadians. Am I correct? Canadians - do you know the answer to this?

How did I miss that? I have been spending too much time studying...I must be overly tired. I see it now. Interesting.

Sounds like spray adhesive to me. I would think the scrapbooking thingys would still leave a bump.

[njzmom]

anyone have an idea on where you can find the toggles?

thanks!!!

I swear some of you ladies are mind readers! lol I was just coming on to post about the headbands and wondering where she got the toggles. The store I supply at has a few of her clips and her headbands. Honestly I can't believe the clips are selling for as much as they are, they don't look like anything super special. The headbands are super cute though, they look pretty simple to make. I'm not sure how her clips could be machine washable though.

I don't see how spray adhesive would make it any different from glue in terms of being washable. you could probably throw one of my clips in the washer on cold water in the gentle cycle and it would come out fine. It's the eventual rusting that I would be worried about. I don't personally have a little girl, but do their clips really get that dirty that you would want to put them in the wash??

Oh and a little p.s. - if you work carefully your glue won't look bumpy or clumpy SHHHHHHH....it's our little secret
