Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size headband should I use?
A: A standard 1/2 inch plastic headband works best as it provides enough surface area for the glue or stitching to hold the flowers securely.

Q: Can I use acrylic yarn instead of cotton?
A: Yes, you can! However, cotton yarn is recommended for hair accessories because it is less likely to pill and holds the shape of the petals more firmly.

Q: How do I clean the headband?
A: Since it is attached to a plastic base, I recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the entire headband to prevent the glue from weakening.
