The bun should be pretty easy. Just take a piece of cloth with a decorated edge and wrap it around your bun, then tie it with a (blue, at least that's what it looks like from the picture) ribbon or string. That's pretty simple enough. I don't know what you could do for the wings. Those would take some time to make.

for the most part, it's round. you can make a bun and have someoe draw around the cloath to find the right size for you.

You could probably start with a circle that's 9 or 10 inches diameter. Fix the edge so that it doesn't fray either by hemming, binding (narrow bias tape), or sealing (Fray Check). Measure in from the edge about 1-1/2 inches and lightly mark another circle. (So you'll have your circle of cloth with a smaller circle drawn inside it.) This is where you'll want to make either a casing (bias tape again) or a series of small slits to thread your ribbon or string through. When you pull the string tight, the cover will close around your bun and the edge will ruffle similar to the picture of your character.

Hope that helps. ^_^
