Consumers like new products. Especially when they are selecting a gift for loved ones who are suffering from Alzheimer’s or Autism. They want to send them something sweet and special. As a business owner, when we want to develop a new fidget pillow or fidget blanket, there are many details to consider. Such as color matching, the choice of fabric, the consideration of the function of accessories, etc.
Where should I start from?
Sometimes the most pragmatic approach is to start from the market, we can completely draw inspiration from the materials already on the market. So check the fabric market or just talk to your supplier or factory contact, tell them what kind of product style you are looking for. And ask them to source the fabrics and provide you photos for reference.
Firstly, select the main fabric.
Do you want it cotton, fleece, canvas? Do you want print on them?
Here are some pattern ideas for you. A low pile fleece fabric is a perfect material for the main cover of the fidget pillow or blanket. Or just canvas without any print. The key point is that the material should be kind of stiff for better sewing of other accessories on it. While the backside of it could be dimpled fleece which is quite popular recently.
Secondly, select accessories.
Laces, high pile fleeces, printed fabric patches, zippers are good choices.
Sometimes the soft fabric soothes anxieties. Some colorful patches make people feel happy.
Activities keep the busy hands engaged. Ribbons for braiding. Buckles, zippers, shoelaces to remind the regular life activity.
Tips: Try not to use buttons on these products to avoid swallow risks.
