Original Design buying "Snakeskin" Handloomed Beaded Hatband (Narrow) - Continuous Circle

BLACK 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 smoke colored Fireline nylon filament. It is made of tiny size 15/0 seed beads and measures 1" 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 buying 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. Due to the size of these beads, it take approximately twice as long to complete this headband.

Please state the hat size or measure the crown of the hat on the outside where the band will sit.
