Following are samples of various hatbands we have created and all of them are beauties. All were designed and crafted by Siksamisi. If we don't currently have one you like in stock, it can be created in 10 days to two weeks. If you have a tribal design or colors in mind, please let me know and we will be glad to create a hatband for you.
We use size 14 beads resulting in approximately 200 beads per square inch. For example, it is not unusual for a hatband to contain 5,000 beads or more with each bead being selected by hand. All the hatbands (or headbands) shown here have been loom beaded and then sewn to deerhide. They can be designed in any color of your choice.
NOTE: The variations in price are dictated by the length of the hatband and size of beads used. Click on the pictures below to get a closer look at the beadwork.
