Description

SNAKESKIN DESIGN HANDLOOMED BEADED HATBAND - Continuous Circle
This is a hand loomed beaded Native American hatband.  This is my own original design.  The hatband is made in a continuous circle with a base of upholstery thread.  It is made of size 11/0 seed beads and measures 1 1/2" across.  It does NOT have leather/cloth ties to get dirty or come unfastened.  It is also NOT made with a stretchy thread which will wear out over time and lose the integrity of the design by being pulled open.  The band is specifically made to fit YOUR hat.  It slips over the crown of the hat and fits snuggly at the base.
My hatbands are produced of a mix of traditional and advanced beading methods.  The beads are a reproduction of the type used back in the 1700's to 1800's with slight irregularities.  My beading method incorporates an updated vertical edge which hides the raw edges of the thread and gives the piece a "finished" look.  It also protects the threads from wear.  I use a traditional Ojibwa loom.  No two hatbands will be exactly the same color, as shown in the photos.  You may request any color you would like, including brown (light brown is shown above), dark brown/rust (shown above), black/silver/gray, golden shades, olive shades, green shades, or any others.
Please state the measurement of the crown of the hat on the outside where the band will sit within 1/16".
This design is very intricate and will require 10 days to 2 weeks for completion.
