Making Gourd Headpieces, by C. Angela Mohr, is divided into five main chapters. Chapter One, Preparation (two pages), covers 'Gourds to Use', and 'Equipment'. Chapter Two, Tiaras (fourteen pages), covers 'Full Wrap', and 'Comb'. Chapter Three, Harvest Heads (nineteen pages), covers 'Headband', 'Hatband', 'Caplet, and 'Hatpin'. Chapter Four, Barrettes (eleven pages), covers 'A Gourd Barrette', 'A Gourd-decorated Barrette', and 'A Leafy Idea'. Chapter Five, Thinking Cap (nine pages), covers 'Full Cap', and 'Light Bulb'. Making Gourd Headpieces ends with 'Concluding Words', and a five page Gallery.
Making Gourd Headpieces utilizes fifty-six pictures to illustrate the Tiaras project section, seventy-three pictures to illustrate the Harvest Heads project section, forty-nine pictures to illustrate the Barrettes project section, and thirty-eight pictures to illustrate the Thinking Cap project section. The presentation of each section is visually based, relying heavily upon using pictures to show the reader what is happening. Almost every picture is captioned with a description of the work being done. The majority of the book's text is devoted to picture captioning and descriptions. The images guide the process. This is a common approach taken with Schiffer publications.
