please help


does anyone know where i can find a band like the one dave (dean stockwell) wore around his head in psych out???

reply

Search ebay or try some vintage clothing stores in your area. OR if you know someone, try and make your own!

That was a piece of loomed seed-beadwork. You might try a Native American store or trading post.

Examples:

You could also look for "Indian beaded headband" or "Native American beaded headband" (or hatband) on ebay.

Loomed beadwork is fairly easy. Craft shops sell simple looms very cheaply and you can get all kinds of seed beads from many different companies. You can sew the finished piece to an elastic band or to ribbons of silk or (usually) leather and tie it around your head.

You could have someone make you one to order, but that might be a bit pricier.

It always bothers me when someone goes through the trouble of providing a very descriptive, helpful answer to a question on these boards without receiving any acknowledgment. So even though I'm not looking for an Indian headband at the present time, thank you, Molly-31!

If it helps at all, that particular bit of loomed beadwork looked Navajo in pattern to me.
