Without proper tools, what I would do is take a piece of wood or maybe a 2ft ruler and two pieces of wood maybe 5 inches long. Put ruler on top of head on edge, clamp the two short pieces front and back and clamp when they're touching the head. Do one measurement for front to back and another side to side. Measure the circumference of the head with a soft tape measure and draw it on paper making sure the circumference touches the measured front/back and side to side. Add a seam allowance for stitching.
