Headdress

[@theresabajorek]

Rewatching this after years because I need to step up my headdress making game. Still loving your videos after all these years, Sharon!

[@dianabuck7310]

That last one was genius! I love the ability to change the feathers out, and it must make it easier to pack up without damaging the feathers.

[@marilynsmenagerie11]

Wow! I just found your site! I love feathers and this video gives me so many ideas to create my doll headpieces. I work with recycled items to design clothing and accessories for My Size Barbie Doll (36"/38" tall) and Frozen My Size Elsa/Frozen My Size Anna dolls (38" tall). You have opened up a whole new world for my dolly designs.

[@SharonShareAlike]

That sounds like fun! You could make them some HUGE headdresses!

[@kathleenbeecher6336]

OMG! So many great ideas and fabulous examples of your work. I am making a headdress for a costume that I wear into the ocean at something called the Lobster Dip here in Maine on New Years Day, so I need it to be lightweight but over the top. The foam core is a great idea and I'm heading to Michael's now for more glittery sticks (feathers won't work). Thank you so much!

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you. That sounds cold! Have fun!!!

[@ColleenTheDancer]

My jaw literaly dropped when you flipped that face up. So creative!

[@angel.food.cakedd]

Hi Sharon! Thank you for this awesome and GENIUS video. This is exactly the video I needed to get started on headdresses for my costuming of Priscilla. I really want to represent the drag community well through the costumes and somehow stay with the budget and your videos are so straightforward, beautiful, and money saving thank you so so much!!!

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you Madeline. I am so glad to help!

[@laurabravo8006]

@@SharonShareAlike Thank youu! 🙏

[@shaunnadeal6172]

Thank you for sharing dynamic insight. impressive work and you have a creative your mind.

[@Chilcutte]

I love your tutorials I did something similar for a headdress only instead of making a duct tape cap I used to felt one and what that consisted of was going to party supply store I think I got it the dollar store last time a felted party hat they're normally kind of a fuzzy thin hat I got a bowler Style that fits me I have a big head 4 someone a little more dainty than me you can cut out a little wedge and then Stitch it tighter or even tape it on someone bigger you can just cut a line to open it up. Bit in back and add a Little Tape on the inside and out. Nice part is the fet does Change to fit you a Bit Just trim off the Brim to make my own again out of felt I have a pattern for a fitted hat that's like three pieces and super easy to make And if i want it Stiff i have Heads like yours to shape over. I also got a Glass lady head for 899 at ross and a Male Skull one thats a Larger size I use these a lot to Put head dresses on when i work. I also got a Mannequin with a Smooth head shape So i can work on Shoulders and Neck lines at same time In the PAST i used a Childs dollor store Knight helmet or the Army one its plastic but if you dont have a Head to work on and just need something A childs Helmet taped onto a large can of spaghetti sause can do... Ive also done when the Head dress was a sheer organza Taken a clear plastic ziplock container and made a base from a Ring of that (think Glenda the good witch) My point is That whatever you have You can make work! If you watch the Film lost in space they cut open an actors costume underneath Shrink wrap and Ducttape.

[@SharonShareAlike]

Great idea!!!!

[@susanjohnson4087]

[@MelanieOregon]

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity AND HOW to make your props using your simple & brilliant ideas!! I'm not familiar with "foam core" though. Is that different than foam boards (like they sell in Michaels/ JoAnn Fabrics/Walmart etc) that are used in school art/science display projects?

[@SharonShareAlike]

Yes, you are correct. It is the foam boards you are talking about.

[@melissatolisz]

Do you havea Tutorial for the arms and legs? From start?

[@karmadangelo9819]

Hello Sharon, I absolutely love watching your videos. I am attempting to make a headdress for an upcoming pageant this month. I was wanting to know what kind of board you used for the blue headdress you made. Thank You and I look forward to seeing more videos of your amazing artwork. Thanks, Karma D'Angelo

[@SharonShareAlike]

Hi Karma. Thank you and thanks for watching. The blue headdress with the big face was 1/4 inch foam core. You can get big sheets of it at the hobby store or any place that does framing. Good luck at your pageant!

[@engsfitnessnaturalhaircare7829]

Hi Sharon. This was a great video. 👍👍👍

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you Matthew.

[@thevictoriousone359]

I know it's been a while since you've uploaded this tutorial but can you please show me how you made your backpiece for this beautiful costume!!!!

[@thevictoriousone359]

Like the backpack? I don't know if you understand what I mean? But yeah the thing on your back lol

[@SharonShareAlike]

Hi Victorious. I made the back piece the same way I made the head piece. It was one piece of the foam core that I painted, decorated and sewed the elastic through for the feathers. The only difference was I threaded some elastic though the foam core to make loops that I could put my arms through. This held the foam piece on my shoulders just like a backpack. You can put some feather boa on the elastic to hide it. I hope this helps.

[@thevictoriousone359]

Sharon ShareAlike ok doll thanks!

[@Cat39391]

your a genius!!!!!! love love your work more videos please awsome

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you Victorious!

[@MorguenMerlot]

Thank you. Fantastic tutorial! Do you have a tip for keeping the headdress secure on the head... just to be sure it's not falling off during a performance?

[@SharonShareAlike]

If you make the cap part surround a lot of your head as opposed to sitting on top of your head, it stays on well. Sometimes I also take duct taped rolled with the sticky side out, and put them on the inside of the cap to help it stick to my head.

[@MorguenMerlot]

Thanks for the tip! I'm trying this Headdress technique for one of my looks at the World Body Painting Festival....so glad I found your tutorial. :)

[@SharonShareAlike]

Good luck and have fun!!!

[@kingraye]

i love you...thank you...will do this on my daughter's search for ms. united nation...do you know some of that wire... the headress made of wire?

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you. I have seen the wire ones but I have not made one. I watched tutorials where they were wrapping the wire with ribbon. It looked so time consuming. I might pull my hair out...or my wig off...lol.

[@vbigby02]

O my you are stunning!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your skills May I ask where did you get the feathers?

Well thank you. I ordered the feathers from aliexpress.com.

thats awesome you gave me some idea's for my grand babies like a batman hat lol

[@lilmissfab96]

You are incredible ! I’m an androgynous drag king looking for easy ways to make costumes. For the face headdress what kind of paper did you use? And how were you able to create the “hinge” to swing up & expose your face?

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you. The Face was made from 1/4 inch foam core. I glued stretchy fabric on both sides. The fabric becomes the hinge if you know what I mean.

Hey Sharon! Great video! Have you considered using E-6000 instead of hot glue? Doesn't got glue come apart after a while? Thanks for sharing your skills with us!!!

[@SharonShareAlike]

I love E6000. I use them both depending on what I am doing. Sometimes I need that fast grip that I can only get from hot glue.

[@ariannecyrus341]

can u please do a tutorial for the face headdress would love to do it for my daughter carnival project

[@SharonShareAlike]

Hi Arianne. I made the face headdress the same as the one in this video. The cap is the same and I also used the same foam core for the entire thing. It just has a fold in the center. I glued fabric on the fold to act as a hinge. It is a bit more complex but it is not too hard to make. Go to 13:40 and I explain the face in more detail. Sharon

[@MSshannonrose1]

Hi sharon my name is shannon rose. i love your videos they are so informative. i have a question in the video of your headdress you have a back panel on how do you make those. ty

[@SharonShareAlike]

Thank you Shannon. I made the back panel out of the same foam core as the headdress. I put some elastic through it so I could strap it to my shoulders.
