I'm going to steer clear of those from now on, too. On a brighter note I just purchased these beauties: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/230715743 https://www.etsy.com/transaction/230715744
I'll be sure to report back with some action pics when I get them. I've never purchased from this vendor before, but so far the communication has been excellent.

Oh, and beautiful clip, Esperada! I just received a lovely jeweled claw from OleanderTime in the mail today. I'll try to get a picture posted soon.

I love using the small octopus looking clips for cinna bunning my hair. It helps to keep the layers from falling out if I use about 4 all around the bun! I need to find some pretty printed ones now! It's funny cause I have a set of sticks, a fork, a flexi...but what doin turn to most? Yep claw clips and spin pins!

I bought a bundle of claw clips from this seller: http://www.ebay.com/usr/globalsource...p2047675.l2559 (who we discussed back in August) and I still haven't received the clips.

For the ones who bought from the same seller, how long did it take before they arrived to you? Mine got sent September 3rd.

Wosie, I think it has usually taken 3-4 weeks to ship to Norway, but it has been a while since my last order so I can't say for sure. Normally it takes so long that I completely forget about my order until it dumps into my mailbox.

It took a bit longer than normal but I think it was 3-4 weeks.. can't remember though, it was so long ago :/

Behold, my new claw clip from ATouchofThai on Etsy. I'm quite smitten with it.

ETA: Sorry...trying to figure out why it didn't rotate using photobucket.
ETA2: Trying again with picture.

I got my claw clips exactly one month after I had ordered them, and they're all really pretty and look just like they did in the pictures at ebay, so I'm very pleased. :') Many of them were covered in 'threads' of glue, though, which was a lil' odd but it was easy to remove it so there was never a problem. I haven't tried using the bigger ones I bought for buns yet, though, I'm worried I'll fail miserably... I can't really grip how claw clips could hold up my bun as it sproings out of itself pretty easily as it is. Oh well, I will give it a try and tell you how it goes.

Do you have any suggestions for buns that ought to work swell with claw clips, or should any bun work?

I bought two packs of the small claw clips, so that I could get the front of my hair off my face (i.e. clipping up the bangs... if you can call it bangs when they're nearly as long as the rest of my hair), but they might be a little too big to go outdoors with.

I find a disc bun holds well with small claws
