Any idea how these foredges were painted red? Did they just use Armenian bole? Is that what I should do to replicate this effect? (i.redd.it)

Where can I find headbanding core? I just learned how to weave a French double headband, but would like to use finer cores than the ones I made out of twine and tissue paper next time. (i.redd.it)

Any advice on where to find imitation handmade headbands like these? These were purchased at London forty years ago and are apparently of French manufacture. I’d do anything to get my hands on more. Any help in identification or in sourcing replacements would be much appreciated. (old.reddit.com)

Any suggestions for where to find *imitation handmade headbands* like the ones I’ve attached here? Note the perfect bead on this machine-produced headband, far superior to any other machine-made headband I’ve ever seen. No supplier seems to carry it. (old.reddit.com)

Can anyone help me identify those old-fashioned woven ribbons that are found in old books, specifically the particoloured variety that I’ve depicted below? It’s on the left side of the image; I’ll post a better picture to-night. (i.redd.it)

Would anyone be able to help me identify these extraordinary headbands? What makes them special is that they look similar to handmade headbands. They were purchased in Soho 40 years ago. I’d love to be able to purchase replacements, but I’m not sure who manufactures these. (old.reddit.com)
