For the moon you could try these bindis (body jewels), thjey are available in many shapes. For the odangos...I've read tutorials on how to do these out of fabric so it looks like the hair has been wrapped in them, but I guess that's not helpful... And I found a german tutorial on how to sew the cups...

Are you still in need of something for a kimono? I made one tonight and I have the easiest solution the world has ever seen. ^_^ I found it on a german page, but I could easily re-write it in english and do some illustrations. It's even the perfect project for someone who has never sewn anything bef...

I can't think of a way to get non-shiny stuff shiny, but what about using an extra layer of some half-transparent shiny fabric? Just use the dres...
