Can't figure it out...

I bet she uses the washable mod podge!I just got some and I will try it out and see if it works.

i've had customers wash my bows accidentally in the laundry with hot glue on them and they've been fine so far.

I have washed the woven headbands before- they turn out all nice and pretty clean. I think you can wash just about any of the bows I make- but yea- I think the rusting is the largest issue.

ditto

ive seen her clips and picked at them, no idea whats on them. a few stores around here took her clips over mine, i was a bit bummed out considering how expensive hers are.

yeah it amazes me stores are willing to carry them....they are cute - don't get me wrong, but nothing *special* - the sets she uses are just the american crafts sets from michael's. Exactly the same as the sets I do...only TRIPLE the price hmm, washable mod podge - that doesn't somehow fit into the glu category though the glue I use isn't washable though so I always tell my customers not to get them wet...I tried the aleene's ok to wash it and it was HORRIBLE!!! sooo runny and soo sticky - I was covered in glue. I like thicker stuff...definitely not glue gun for me though - I'm hopeless

I am looking for the toggles myself - now at least I can look for the word *toggle* and hopefully come up with something there. I *might* be inclined to share if i find a supplier

she has made quite a name for herself though which is impressive...although I'm still baffled considering there is nothing to the clips but ribbon...she doesn't do anything other than that...just lining them....curious...

as for the patent thing - well I am in canada (only a city away in fact from her ) so if that's true I guess it would apply to me...but I agree - patents take years to go through and cost an arm and a leg...I'd be *kinda* surprised if she tried to patent them to be honest...but maybe she wants to spend the $$ on it

thanks for the thoughts ladies!

LOL -NO!!!!

But I will tell you that I know because I took apart a clip from noslippyclippy.com - or something like that. I have used the same product and it is brilliant. It may very well have been mentioned in this thread....lol

I don't even care. My clips turn out looking just as nice as hers. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
