Zipper Headbands

I created my version of zipper headbands back in April after some deep though about what other items besides tape measures were ribbon-like and could be formed into rosettes. I see now that many other people also make zipper rosettes but I believe I was the first person on Etsy to put them on a headband. Could be wrong, but there is only one other person currently who does this and our styles are different. Imagine my dismay when I checked out Forever 21's website and saw this:
Looks quite familiar. Oh well, I'm not the first person they've knocked off (and who knows - maybe they came up with it themselves) and I can't be the last.

Hello!

This is my crafting blog! I decided that my crafting was getting too mixed up with my shopping and that I needed to create a new blog.

This blog will explore the various facets of design, marketing, selling, and show pretty pictures of products.
