Don't Buy, DIY: Jennifer Behr Spiked Turban
Jennifer Behr's pieces have been featured on Gossip Girl and are coveted Hollywood items.
But this spiked turban retails for $498! So I made my own.

Step 9
Then use an awl to pierce the holes for the cone spikes, which have a thick screw that needs to pass through the fabric. (The easiest way to do this is to poke the hole thru from the right side - then thread the spike screw in from the wrong side, following the awl as you pull it out.) Then attach the cone spike tops, and use a screwdriver to secure from the underside. (not pictured)

Step 10
You're done! I didn't add quite as many spikes n studs as the Jennifer Behr version - simply because I got tired of it. I actually made a second layer to the piece so the center twist wouldn't be so narrow and I could stud and spike through the upper layer only. This ensured no scratchy stud prongs would be directly against my forehead, but it turned out that the inner layer was a no-go since the spikes wouldn't sit properly when there was fabric sitting underneath them. If you do choose to add another piece of fabric inside the headwrap (making it shorter than the headwrap and stitching its edges to the headwrap edges so it's like a little stitched-down flap inside); I'd recommend studding the cone studs in the upper layer of fabric, but setting the spikes through both layers so they sit right. I know that sounds confusing!
As you can see below, it turned out kind of like a wide headband - the less turban-like, the better, IMO.
