Hi Irina, I'm in Canada and I'm new to hat blocking. I have a few questions with regards to shipping. If I'm looking to order a few different items, is there anyway to package it together under one shipping charge?

Hello, Joe, Yes, all different items will be packed and shipped in one box. Thank you. Irina

Hi Irina! I purchased your darling headbands/hats yesterday. I did fast shipping on them. I just want to make sure I get these by May 4. We have a Kentucky derby party on the 5th. I will send you pics after the party! :) Thanks again and I love your site! You are talented! -Drue

Hi Drue, I will try to ship your order on May 1, for your confidence. And would wait for your party's pictures. Thank you and have a great day! Irina

Within how many days should I return the hat if it doesn't fit me?

Customers must ship the item back to the seller within 14 days of receipt. If the item is shipped outside of this 14-day return window, we charge an extra restocking fee of 10% of the item's value.

Thank you, good quality,I asked for 2 different values color combination packages 2/6 but l received 2 the same mix!?

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. The listing description specifies the available color combinations. If you’d like a different mix, please leave a note during checkout, and I’ll make sure to accommodate your request. If there’s anything I can do to resolve this for you, please let me know—I’d be happy to help! Best regards, Irina

Good evening, Irina, I bought this from you yesterday and I forgot to let you know that I have blonde hair so I was hoping that you have a lighter headband for my fascinator?

Yes, of course! We can attach either a light beige or white headband — just let us know your preference. If your order hasn’t shipped yet, we can also match the headband to your hair color (for example, blonde, brown, or black) to make it as invisible as possible. Feel free to send us a message after placing your order!

Sturdy Firm and Rigid Stiffener for One Hat Dewaxed Shellac Flakes
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Guide to Using Dewaxed Shellac Flakes for Hat Stiffening ✨
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Shellac Solution
* Combine 99% Isopropyl Alcohol with shellac flakes to make the solution.
* For a firm finish, mix 1 bag (18 g (0,64 oz)) of flakes with 150 ml (around ¾ cup) of alcohol.
* Stir the mixture occasionally in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. Within
approximately 2 hours, the shellac will completely dissolve. If you don’t plan to use
a large amount, prepare smaller batches using the same ratio of shellac to alcohol.
Note: Before adding alcohol, the shellac flakes are completely non-toxic.

2. How to Apply
* Transfer the prepared solution into a spray bottle for easy application.
* Spray the mixture evenly over the hat body, brushing it in to ensure proper
absorption. Allow it to dry.
* If additional stiffness is desired, repeat the process.

Note for Light-Colored Felts: This shellac adds a slight yellow tint.
Not recommended for white hat bodies. For the light-colored hat, test on a small area first.

3. Safety Measures
* Ensure good ventilation in your workspace.
* If you are sensitive to fumes, wearing a protective mask is recommended.

4. Application Sequence
* Whether you apply the shellac before or after blocking your hat body is entirely up
to you. Experiment with both methods to see what works best for you and your
workflow. Over time, you’ll develop a system that suits your preferences and
experience.

Helpful Tips:
Use high-quality dewaxed shellac flakes for a consistent and polished finish.
Always test the solution on a small section of the hat body to ensure the stiffness level meets your needs.
Store the shellac mixture in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place to prevent it from evaporating.

What is Dewaxed Shellac?
Dewaxed shellac is a purified version of shellac, with wax content removed during processing.
Shellac is a natural resin produced by the female lac bug on trees in India and Thailand. It is available as dry flakes, which are dissolved in alcohol to create a liquid form used for stiffening hats. This versatile material offers a durable and customizable stiffness for various hat-making needs.
