I'm planning on a lot of new, funny bits and pieces to enhance my closet with a little bit of cute AND dead... So basically the same thing I always do. xD

Get that headband! The plastic ones, you know? ( Make sure it's really plastic. Something satin lined looks nice but just doesn't work! ) Mine was horribly cheap, it comes with the not so anatomically correct shape, but so what... Flip over to the inside, take something like e.g. a silver gel rollerpen ( something that you could see on black ) and mark the spots where the spikes will be. Make sure to make the distances between them even. Mucho importante.
Gather those screwy spikes / studs. I used nine. Remember that the more spikes you use, the heavier the whole thing will get! Nine spikes are already pretty heavy. You can not only use killer spikes ( the ones I used ), but the extremely long and pointy ones or the little short cute ones... Or use short ones on the sides and male them get longer to the middle ^^
Put holes in the plastic! You've got to find your best way to do these, drill, melt, whatever. I put a fat needle over a flame and melt it through the plastic ( open the window!!! ), after that I widened the holes with a pedicure rotary file thingy... xD They have to be wide enough to slide the screwy screw part through.
Put the spike tips on, put headband on, position in front of a mirror, make hillariously stupid pictures. xD I love the way it looks like a grungy princess crown. ^^ Can't wait to wear it out tomorrow night ( promised, untill then, my bangs will have a showable colour again... ), just gotta remember not to headbang with this thing on. xD Gonna wear it with a shirt that I'm hopefully gonna finish tomorrow. White with a free handed ribcase painting on it. xD
