HANDLOOMED BEADED HATBAND - Continuous Circle - Movie ReplicaThis is a hand loomed beaded Native American hatband in a pattern reproduced from the cult movie classic "Billy Jack". The BJ 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" 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.
I have included a photo of the design completed in alternate colors, this being the Four Sacred Directions, red/yellow/black/white. Since these are custom made, I can make these in any variation you choose.
Please state the measurement of the crown of the hat on the outside where the band will sit within 1/16".
Production time for this hatband is approximately 10 days.
ALL PURCHASES MADE AT THIS TIME WILL BE REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 14 WEEKS DUE TO THE BACKLOG OF ORDERS.
THE ROUND DOME HAT SHOWN ABOVE IS FOR SALE IN ANOTHER LISTING. IT IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE HATBAND HERE. PLEASE CHECK MY STORE.
