NOT ALL SIMILAR PRODUCTS ARE CREATED EQUAL…
I have been talking about parts & their
difference for ions now. So I decided it is time to explain the parts that I
use & why. Yes, some parts are more expensive than what other toy maker’s
will use that are similar. But I have requirements for quality…
GFBToys uses 2 sizes of handWOVEN straw hats in my
toy designs: 2” & 3-4” diameter. These hats are handWOVEN (they are
expensive & unfortunately are not easily found anymore). But there is an
importance difference between these handWOVEN versus the easily available SEWN
hats. And the difference is why GFBToys uses the handWOVEN…they are plain &
simple, nothing added!!
The SEWN hats use a fine nylon filament thread that
does not brake easily. On a bird, especially a small one it could get wrapped
around toes, tongues, a wing, etc. Not advisable for any size critters either
since they could ingest the threads which could bind up inside. These SEWN hats
are designed for craft use, easier to produce & cost much less.
