Accessories Halo Crown

Jul 3, 2022

    1. So I am intending to make a nice floral ornate halo crown for my Heliot, I was just wondering what people out there had done for the actual headband itself. I’ve been looking at guides for human sized ones and they all build on a simple plastic headband.

      My current go to idea would be to wind together some wire and then wrap it in ribbon or hair matching the colour of the wig, but I was curious if anyone else out there had made one and what they did for the ‘base’ of it so to speak.
       
    2. I've made... fiiiiive?... bonnets/katushya/fancy doll headbands and I scavenge the flat steel out of the thinnest child-sized human headbands I can find. It has good "memory" to maintain its shape once bent to the correct curve for the doll's head, the only downside is that it's annoying to cut if you don't have the right tools (metal shears, or a Dremel with a cutting bit, or a hacksaw).

    3. oooh I hadn’t even considered that! Thank you for the insight, I will definitely have to have a search and see if I can find some.
       
    4. I think your idea with ribbon or maybe floral tape/washi tape could work? Maybe even masking tape... I have a floral crown that came with my Myou Bettina's full set, I'll have to see what it's made with!
       
    5. oh washi or masking tape, that’s a good idea, and the latter would match the colour of the wig lol. Might use that for the practise run, thank you
