This beginner-friendly, on-demand workshop teaches you how to build a lightweight, durable headdress base from scratch - the same versatile foundation Anja uses for her runway pieces, award-winning bodypaint looks, editorial shoots, and more. You’ll follow along in real time as Anja walks you step-by-step through every stage of the process, making it easy to understand, repeat, and customize.

Skills You'll Learn:

• Cut, shape, and glue EVA foam for a secure, lightweight structure
• Work with floral foam, for comfort, balance, and height
• Use contact cement, and other adhesives effectively
• Modify, adjust, and customize your base to match your creative vision
• Build three unique headdress base styles that can be decorated in countless ways

You’ll also get Anja’s personal tips, tools, and essential do’s & don’ts to help you avoid common mistakes and create a base that feels stable, comfortable, and wearable.
