The sale of personalized bows maintains regular figures throughout the year thanks to the use of these products in the textile sector and in charitable causes, where they receive massive demand. Since the end of the 19th century, ties have been used as a sign of support for social movements, to claim certain causes, commemorate important dates or raise awareness about certain diseases.

 

The history of symbolic bows and crepes begins in the context of the 19th Civil War, when the United States was divided by a civil war and the wives of combatants began to wear a yellow bow in their hair, to show fidelity to their husbands. .

 

More universal is the black ribbon, popularized in 1997 after the death of Diana of Wales, which is still used as a sign of mourning for the death of loved ones. Although the origin of this symbol is considered pagan, it has been adopted by Christianity throughout the world.

 

For its part, light yellow ribbons are widely used to raise awareness or show support for people with Down syndrome or those affected by sarcoma cancer, a disease that affects the soft tissues of the human body, such as the blood vessels, cartilage, or muscles.

 

Another of the most used ties today is pink, used to show solidarity with those affected and survivors of breast cancer. The promoter of it was the American Charlotte Haley, who in 1991 began to make peach-colored bows and send them to different women in her town.

 

To reflect the ecological commitments of today’s society, more and more people decide to wear a green crepe. Through this symbol, its bearers remember the importance of combating global warming and adopting plans and measures to care for the environment.

Children take a while to learn to tie their shoelaces and this is a problem. Not only because they can step on the shoelaces and fall, but also because when starting school or nursery, many centers have a rule that children who do not know how to tie their shoes cannot wear this type of footwear since the staff waste a lot of time taking care of this.

 

Thanks to laces like the ones we are about to mention, young children will be able to put on their favorite shoes without having to tie laces or rely on someone else to do it for them.

 

Liaflex laces. It is one of the most fun options for children’s shoelaces. Contacting a store that has a distributor of spiral cords – LIAFLEX and acquiring them will be an excellent option for the little one. They are cord spirals that once placed, you just have to screw or unscrew without having to do it in a specific way. Kids love them because they can shape or twist them and they always look fun and good. As they come in all colours, they combine very well with clothes and shoes and always give that cheerful touch to the looks of the little ones in the house.

 

Elastic laces. Bungee laces are just individual rubber strips that go between two holes on your sneaker or boot. They have a fastening that remains on the inside, so it is not visible and at first glance they look like normal laces. They are in many colors. But the good thing is that the child will be able to put on and take off the shoes without having to manipulate the laces since the elasticity they have allows him to do so without any problem. In addition, the foot is very supported, especially if they are good quality laces, so the result is excellent.

 

Laces with closure. They have a system similar to that of some swimsuits or windbreakers. The lace passes through a piece of plastic that, once the adjustment occurs, is pressed and blocks the movement of the lace. When you want to unfasten the shoe, you just have to press again so that it is released and can be opened. The only thing to keep in mind is that the cord is not too long so that it cannot be stepped on and cause an accident.

Although we already have masks in all pharmacies, some continue to make them by hand because they are more ecological and provide them with greater comfort. But for them to be perfect and also very effective, they have to comply with a series of recommendations that are now very easy for us to follow since all these products are easy to find.

-The materials must be approved. If this is not possible, at least they must be of the same materials with which the masks that are approved are manufactured. Cotton is very soft and pleasant, but it does not filter sufficiently, so it is advisable to choose a water-repellent and antibacterial fabric. However, you should know that this is not a total guarantee, because Covid is not a bacteria, but a virus. But the approved waterproof and antibacterial fabrics, using a double layer, are equivalent in efficacy to hygienic or surgical ones.

-The fit must be perfect. If the choice of fabric is important, the pattern to follow is no less important. Now that we know more and more about Covid, we are discovering that it is spread mainly through aerosols. Therefore, for the mask to be one hundred percent effective, it has to fit very well on the face and not leave holes through which particles of saliva come out or through which it can enter. The better it fits the face on all sides, the more effective it will be. Keep in mind that approved fabrics will allow us to breathe without difficulty, so the fit does not have to be a problem.

-The elastic cords must be able to be regulated. Many people complain that masks are tight on their ears. But if the elastic cords that we use for their manufacture can be regulated, we would make things much easier. To regulate these cords, you only need a small piece of plastic that is bought in bags with several units and that allow the mask to be much more comfortable without having to resort to adapters and without having to bend the rubber bands to get the mask to adapt. better to the face.

With these tips, your homemade masks will be much safer and perfect for day to day as they will guarantee you the protection recommended by health to go out or to go to the supermarket.
