I'm looking to make a kokoshnik and have no idea where to begin. I've tried looking online but cannot find a decent tutorial. I've found half decant ones translated from Russian but made of paperboard, candy wrappers and paper. I'm looking for something a little higher brow.

How is this post not appropriate?
>>8871207
This falls under sewing and prop-making, craftsmanship tools/materials tools and tutorials and discussing accessories.
I'm not picky about the type of kokoshnik, any will do.
use the help thread you attention whore namefag
>>8871256
No this is the most appropriate.
>>8871267
No it's not, you fucking faggot. Use the help thread. You don't need to create an entire thread just for yourself.
Anyone know any good sites where traditional Russian crafting techniques can be found?
>>8871201
What makes you think that if you don't get a reply in the fucking help thread that making a board will do?
>>8872767
Well it's gotten more attention than the help board so it's working much better.
okay so I have never made a kokoshnik, but paper/board can be used as an insert for the headpiece, to make it stand up, and then use any fabric you would like for the outside. I would trace the shape you want on paper board. Then trace that onto your fabric, with a .5 inch seam allowance. You'll want layers of another filler fabric between the outside, decorative fabric and the paperboard. You can use a fuse-able interfacing to attach the filler/support fabric to the decorative one. Put the two outside fabrics together so the "right" side is sewing, and sew around the top contour part of the nimbus, leaving the seams closest to the head open. Slide the paper board in, stitch the rest closed, and attach it to a very wide kind of headband (I don't know how you'd make that. Perhaps can buy), with the ribbon closure. I'm slightly drunk while writing this so I'm sorry if it's incomprehensible.
Fan plus Friend also makes a kokoshnik headpiece, but from your reference image it looks like you're going for a very traditional nimbus shape. F+F's is somewhat toned down.
I'm interested in making a kokoshnik myself, even though I own the F+F one. So I can pass along any findings to you. Best of luck, kokoshnik chan.

Thank you, I've been looking for this stuff for two days and the only thing I got from it was things starting to auto translate into Russian.

You should check out Voodooodolly's headdresses, a lot are inspired by Russian headdresses. I think she uses buckram as a base.
if you write 'senpai' on this site does it automatically get corrected as 'senpai'?
>>8873070
i tried to write the word spelled f-a-m and it came out 'senpai' i forgot that was a thing
