Flapper Head bands. . .

During the daytime flappers wore a cloche hat but in the evening there was an amazing variety of exotic head dresses to chose from including beaded and feathered headbands and close-fitting caps. As a show of wealth, many of the more expensive headpieces were full of beads, feathers and more elaborate materials to show that they could afford the best.
If I could, I would totally make a headpiece like this but I wouldn't have a clue where to start. And I think as well, something like this might be a bit too much!
If anything I want to create something like these pieces. Simple yet with full effect, including the main aspects in traditional 1920s headbands. With either a fabric or peal band for the base, to then add feathers and maybe some form of large diamonte or if I can find one, a unique vintage looking broach for the main focus piece.
