...and the other!

Note to those participating in the "Neighborhood Sale..."

Just a disclaimer....the available colors last only as long as my supplies do. Meaning? I do not have an indefinite number of headbands in each color so I cannot guarantee that the color you want will be available at the time of your request. The good news is that my "color palate" is ever-changing so there will always be some exciting "fashion flavors" to chose from. I keep current colors updated here so stay tooned!

I'm Open

It is official! My Etsy shop is open! Take a look at it by clicking on the orange button on the right margin! I truly value the opinion and advice of my buyers' view so let me know your thought and suggestions!

Sizing--Finding Your Fit!

I offer 3 different sizes: Large, Regular, and Petite. Below are the ranges of each headband to assist you in finding your “fit”. “Unstretched” refers to the headband sitting on a flat surface (meaning it’t NOT on anyones’ head). “Stretched” refers to the comfortable maximum stretch the headband can expand to a persons’ head. These basically aid you in ruling out what is NOT your size.

~*~ Large:
-unstretched: 22 ¾ inches
- stretched: 24 ½ inches


~*~ Regular
Unstretched:22 inches
Stretched: 23 3/4 inches


~*~ Petite:
Unstretched: approx. 21 ½
Stretched: 23 ¼ in.


Measuring your head…
wrap a tape- measure around your head, just behind your ears. I am well aware that not everyone wears their headband exactly in this spot; however, is at least offers a fairly consistent place for both you and me to measure.


Finding your fit…
Once you find your head measurement, you will find yourself “ between sizes” and wondering, “should I get a Large or a Regular?” Your final choice depends on what type of fit you like. The best rule of thumb is go with the band that is the the closest your measurement.

For example, my head measures 22 1/8 inches. This puts me into the Regular size (22- 23 ¾ in). I can fit the Large size, however it is almost too loose.

It is sort of a tricky business figuring it all out; however, is it worth it!

Welcome!

Welcome to Little 5 Foot Designs! This is my little "craft board" where I let all of you know what new items are available!

Suggestions and input via comments are certainly accepted and welcomed; however, for safety purposes I moderate each comment before it is publicly visible. You may also email me at little5footdesigns@gmail.com.

My Name...
The inspiration for my craft boutique's name came directly from my height or rather, the lack thereof! If you looked at the records at my Dr.s office they'd tell you I am less then 5 feet. I, on the other hand, believe that there is such a thing as "close enough" (especially when discussing several 16ths of an inch)! My products aren't big or ordnate. Rather they are much like myself--small in size, but big in personality.

My Beginnings...
Headbands are what got me started in the craft business. I am not a brilliant seamstress, but I certainly take pride in my choice of colors, patterns, and workmanship.

My Products...
You have your option of both wide and narrow--whatever suits your fancy and meets your taste. The colors I choose are fun and bright, the perfect way to brighten your wardrobe. I also offer petite, regular, and large sizes. Unfortunately, due to the creative process, I cannot guarantee that the size will be your "exact" fit. However, if you do discover that one size is obviously and extremely over or under-sized for you, then I would be more than happy to work out an exchange. Details of exchanges including any shipping cost can be disscussed with me via email.

Enjoy!

Small and simple. That's my style.
