Class Description:
This 2-hour on-demand workshop will teach you how to build a lightweight and durable headdress base completely from scratch. Designed for anyone looking to create statement pieces for costumes, festivals, bodypaint competitions, photo shoots, music videos, special events, and more! This class walks you through the process in real time as you follow along with step-by-step guidance. You'll receive a printable headdress pattern to cut out and use right away, along with guidance on how to design your own pattern if you’d like to customize it. You’ll also learn how to shape and glue EVA foam, and work with essential materials like floral foam to ensure a sturdy and comfortable fit. Anja shares her personal tips, tools, and professional techniques - including the types of glues she uses such as contact cement, water-based, and resin-based adhesives - along with important dos and don’ts in the headdress-making process. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills and confidence to create three unique headdress base styles and use them as a foundation to bring your own stunning designs to life.
