Wash Cloths

Does your babe have sensitive skin like mine do? In my experience, even the little baby wash cloths from the store tend to grow coarse and rough after a few washings.

These handmade cloths are made of two complimenting fabrics. One side is extrememly soft and absorbant while the other is a cotton blend to add style and character.

Wash Cloths are 8" x 8"

Set of 4 cloths: $12

I apologize for the limited fabric options displayed. New fabrics will be added shortly.

You are welcome to give me specifics on colors and/or patterns for your wash cloths and I will match them as closely possible.

The Breanna Style

The Breanna is a classic style that features an adorable double layered flower. This accent is permanently attached to the hat and can worn centered or off to the side. While the hat is created with a single solid color, the flower adds a punch of fun with the addition of one or two more colors.

Add even more girly flair to your hat by choosing the Ella style. The airy design was created to visibly show the hair underneath.

About Me

2009-08-08T19:11:00.009-05:00

My name is April and I created April Accents to express my hobbies, hand crafting jewelry, crocheting, photography and blogging. I am a hair stylist by trade and passion, however that has taken a back seat while I have started a family. I have a beautiful baby boy who is almost a toddler. You can visit my personal blog Desires of the Heart, where I write about what it means for me to be a christian, wife and mother.

My original interest began a few years back with knitting. I bought myself two needles and the infamous "Knitting For Dummies", but apparently it just wasn't for me. Then my mother in law introduced me to crocheting. She taught me a few simple stitches and with that I started to explore a whole world of possibilites.

I have given away many of my creations and have recently been encouraged to open a little boutique. I love the idea of sharing my hobbies with all of you and I do hope you enjoy these products as much as I love to create them. I put a great deal of time, thought and care into my trades.

2009-08-08T16:49:00.009-05:00

How do I clean my product?

Wash cloths, Burp Cloths:
Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low

Head bands and Mitten Clips:
Handwash and lay flat to dry

Crochet Hats:
All of crochet products featured at April Accents, are made with 100% acrylic no dye lot yarn. This is a more durable yarn content but should still be treated in a delicate manner. Although many sources will say that machine washing on the gentle cycle is fine for acrylic materials, I do not recommend this. To insure the craftsmanship of these products, I suggest hand washing in luke warm water with a mild soap detergent. While pushing the material into a sink full of water, please avoid twisting to ring out excess water. Press out the excess water by rolling up the item in a clean towel and pressing down firmly. Reshape and lay flat to dry.

What if my hat does not fit?
Like many handcrafted items, everyday use may cause slight stretching to the product. However if you receive the hat and it is too small for your child's head, I will be happy to exchange it for a larger size. That being said, I do recommend you inform me if your child's head size is in the higher percentile so that I can adjust the hat if necessary. Your exchange will take precedence over all orders to insure customer satisfaction. Please know that I can not accept an exchange order if it has been longer than two weeks after sale was completed. Please let me know as soon as possible.

What if I receive the hat and I don't like the color combination?All hats are custom ordered. There is a color menu with a variety of color options to choose from. After the product is completed, I will email you a photo of the finished hat to obtain your approval for the sale. After shipment has been made, there are no returns as all sales are final.

Head Bands

All head bands are designed with two complimenting fabrics. One made of cotton, the other of flannel to give the user an option of texture. It is my experience that flannel is more slip resistant on the hair.

The elastic nape portion allows for an adjustable size of 19 inch - 23 inch head circumference.

Smaller sizes available for youth.

Currently, I am limited on photos to display. All headbands are made to order so I will be happy to take your color / fabric designs suggestions to create one just for you!
