1The basic materials include iron wire, copper sheets,pearls, and fabric.Surprisingly, almost all of them are“waste”as they come from disused clothes.Wang Ping, a photographer and stylist who is interested in crafting headdresses, said he had to throw away a lot of headwear and clothes that were out of fashion.“It's indeed a waste and a loss,”Wang said.“So I decided to make the most of these‘waste materials’.”Wang takes them apart and collects the usable materials.“I try my best to design and make the headdresses in an environmentally friendly way,”Wang added.

2Among all his work,crafting the headdress made from dried turnip has been relatively simple as it only uses several materials.But he is more passionate about making traditional Chinese phoenix coronets（鳳冠）.Making one often takes from one week to up toseveral months as it uses up to over 30 types of materials.Moreover, the process of assembling is complicated,as he needs to place every item into the right position.

3To present the beauty of Chinese headdresses, Wang has also learned how to make ancient clothes, so they can match each other.Now, Wang is making clothing featuring a dragon.“The dragon has thousands of scales in different sizes.Every single scale should be embroidered with patterns,”Wang said.“It is estimated to take one year to complete.”

4As people are beginning to accept the growing trend of guochao, it is no wonder that Wang's work has gained much popularity.Wang usually posts videos about how he makes headdresses on social media.Within one year,he has attracted over 150,000 followers.
