Need help with Tiplar purist custom

[Safwanus]

Hello, everyone. 

Recently, I've been trying to make use of all my spare minifigure pieces, especially older ones, to make Star Wars customs. I'm really proud of how some of them turned out. Of course, I found a bunch of yellow heads from back in the day, and put together a Jedi Master Tiplar minifigure. Everything was going well until I reached the Lekku-like part. I realized I had no yellow hairpiece, not a single one. 

Does anyone know what else I can do to complete the figure? It can be a brick-built design, a specific "common" piece, or in case of last resort, some kind of paper-made design. Thank you in advance!

(Due to where I live, I'm unable to order anything online. So that won't be a working solution.)

I googled the custom figure which is pretty nice but sold out...sorry to hear that DHL is not delivering to Mos Eisley yet ...

What about 4 times "Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Grille with Bottom Groove / Lip" - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2412b#T=C mounted on a "Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Studs on 4 Sides" - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4733#T=C ?

Even mounted on a "Bar 1L with Angled Hollow Stud" https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=65578#T=C ? So you can get an angle for the "hair"?

Or Footgear flipper https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2599a#T=C or a crown? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=39262#T=C

Very good ideas right here! Especially that foot flipper one. I would like to use a regular minifigure head, and I have yet to find a way to attach the foot flipper to the head somehow

You can attach the flipper to the head with the LotR Ring piece (11010). That has the advantage that it would vaguely look like the tiara thing Tiplar wears--the ring piece is gold rather than silver, but close enough. That requires turning the flipper upside down, though, so I'm not sure how it'll end up looking.

I know this doesn't help you since you can't order anything, but this is the best option I can think of for a purist headpiece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=38305#T=C. It's not perfect, but it's yellow, the shape is pretty good, and it costs less than a dollar, so if you ever get the opportunity to snag one that's what I would go with.
