🪄 Finishing & Care Tips
- Wire safety: Always double-wrap wire ends with electrical or floral tape before inserting them. If gifting this to a child, skip the wire and make a fully soft version for safety.
- Cleaning: Spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as moisture can loosen embroidery and wire support.
- Reshape after cleaning: If the wire shifts, simply bend the headband back into place.
- Storage: Keep flat or gently hung to preserve the rounded ear pad shape.
- Personalization: You can swap smiley faces for stars, hearts, or initials — or even embroider tiny music notes!
