Ah yes! I actually use those hard plastic headbands (like the one right here
[link]) as "base" of sorts for the headbands I make. I actually tell my client friends that repairs are free but since you live faraway, I'll try to find something sturdier to be very sure that they won't break.
Oh, would you like to email me your requests on the headbands? My email is alceri89[at]yahoo[dot]com
I see that you live in California? My aunt is returning there on October and I MIGHT be able to ask her to ship it to you *crosses fingers* Thank you!
