DIY PATRICIA'S ANTLERS CROWN

3 Steps to Recreate Patrica Antlers Headpiece in Widow's Bay Ep: 4 Beach Reads

To make the iconic Patricia Sunset Cocktails Antlers headpiece, simply find pre-made pieces online and assemble to recreate the visually stunning look. Start with a striking antler headband, glue on faux fur, which is surprisingly easily available,  and add some additional accents to give it a more personal and earthy and home-grown touch.

Step 1: Antlers

  • Pick a lightweight, comfortable headband base, with antlers turning inwards.
  • Search at online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Temu, AliExpress for “deer, antler, or reindeer headband”.

Step 2:
Faux Fur

  • Search for faux fur, particularly fox fur. 
  • Consider buying a cheap plush stuffed animal and using its head as a center for additional whimsy or a fox pelt (sorry it’s gross).
  • Glue faux fur onto inner anters.

Step 3:
Twigs

  • Bring in nature by going outside and grabbing some twigs to give it some lasting impact. 
  • Place on your head and bend over to make sure it stays attached so you can dance with wild abandon to Rhythm of the Night before you head to the beach.

What Does Patricia's Original Antlers Crown Look Like?

Patricia’s antler crown in Widow’s Bay Episode 4, “Beach Reads,” is a dramatic folk-horror headpiece made from oversized antlers and unsettling woodland details. The A.V. Club describes the costume-created crown as featuring antlers, twigs and a taxidermied fox head, while TheWrap reports that the final headpiece also incorporated teeth and animal fur. Kate O’Flynn told TheWrap that several versions were considered before the final, surprisingly heavy crown was created.
