Abstract: A collage system and method enables creative predesign and arrangement of at least one item to form a collage. A plurality of predesign media enables digital predesign through dimensional and positional manipulation of at least one design boundary. The design boundary is the place holder for the at least one item. One of the predesign media is selected as the desired collage arrangement. The selected predesign medium is converted into a template surface that is printed with design boundaries that match the arrangement of design boundaries manipulated in the predesign medium. The template surface comprises horizontal and vertical lines that enable aligned positioning of at least one item inside an interior region of the design boundary. The template surface is mounted on a mounting surface. The mounting surface comprises a leveling line for appropriate alignment and mounting of the template surface. A frame encloses the item for visual enhancement.

Abstract: An adjustable ornamental hair restraining apparatus and method adjustably restrains portions of the hair while displaying an interchangeable ornamental member. The apparatus and method utilizes a toggle fastener, having a toggle closure and a bar to releasably couple the ends of the elastic strap around at least a portion of hair. The toggle fastener provides a simple mechanism that can be easily secured around the hair to enable quick styling and adjustments of the hair while also offering customizable looks. Additionally, style disruption, discomfort, hair loss, and damage are minimized. An interchangeable ornamental member displays from the apparatus to enhance the appearance of the head. The bar passes through an opening in the toggle closure and rotates to extend generally in a plane perpendicular to the opening for forming a locked position. A base joins with the bar or toggle closure. The ornamental member attaches to the base.
