There are differences between "magpies".Consider the most famous types of this headgear.
Kargopolskaya
Immediately stands out, since it has a unique shape of an ocheloon: it hangs over the forehead in the form of an acute projection. In order to create it, the bottom is sharpened.
Important! Usually bindings made soft, so they needed to put on an extra hard hat, thanks to which the shape of the ochelion kept.
The Kargopol "magpie" was worn with a kind of a cap called a siege. She performs the role of an acolyte, which gathers and contracts hair. A solid "hoof" must have a forehead as the basis for a smart bead embroidered with beads. 
Wedding
This headpiece includes three parts:
- Kitschka with small pointed horns;
- Cuffing;
- "Soroka", which has a heel shape.
It was made of velvet, which was embroidered with gold threads. It was fixed on the birch bark for stiffening. This part was intended to cover the back of the head. Its upper and lateral parts are sewn with stripes of silk fabric, on the edges of which there are ties. Then they need to be crossed on the forehead, and tied around the horns several times. Due to this, the kitch and the podzatyleni are tightly fastened.
Important! A golden little "magpie" is put on top of the horns. The main motif of the embroidery, which is decorated with the slack and top of the headdress, is the "tree".The same ornament is used to decorate the sleeves of a wedding shirt.
