MAKING GOURD HEADPIECES

Angela Mohr uses scraps and misshapen runts of gourds to make fun things to wear on your head.

With simple tools and supplies already in the house or from a local craft shop, you can make tiaras, barrettes, seasonal headbands, and hatpins and also use gourds to decorate your hats and bonnets.

In fact, with a gourd thinking cap, like the one shown in this book, you can create your own projects! Mohr provides easy step-by-step demonstration of how to make and decorate a variety of headpieces.
