Dixie, start at the Ombudsman post at the top of the discussions. You need to sign up as a Small Batch Manufacturer at Saferproducts.gov. Do this 2nd as you want to expend to other things for children. You limit yourself if you don't as you will need to send products off for testing . You will also need CPSIA labels for all of your products. Hats, and earwarmers and headbands that are large enough will all need the CPSIA labels sewn in to them. Small headbands and clips can have the information on cards attached to the items. Any metal supplies will need to have testing certificates of compliance either by the manufacturer of the supply if you are registered as a SBM or you will need to have then tested for lead. Same goes for buttons, pearls, other bling. You will need a record keeping system where you will log all of your supplies and cross reference them to the finished products
