Snow Queen Headdress

Pieces are stiff interfacing, silver cotton for backing, and Japanese silver brocade from fabric swap on the front. I made the headband from electrical wiring scrap that I stabilized with painters tape and covered the top with silver brocade and the inside with cotton flannel from a nightgown. The painters tape seemed like a good idea at the time (it was fast and easy), but when I was sewing things onto and through the headband, the needle would pick up some of the adhesive sometimes and get a bit tacky. Manageable but kind of annoying.
