You'd think with that much cloth on it, the turban would be bigger than a dwarf.

A group of dwarves shove the elf into the throne room.
Diplomat: "What is this? I was meant to be led to the mayor!"
Urist: "Aye, 's right there, you tree-hugg-..."
Diplomat: "Oh here come the insults again. And let me guess, I should just stand still next to that pile of cloth while you pull some lever, right? I've heard of you dwarves, I-"
Urist: "How dare ye! 'Tis a turban, not a pile!"
"SILENCE!" said the turban sitting on the throne, "I am the mayor of these grand halls."
Diplomat: "You... the turban is this fortress' mayor?!"
"NO YOU FOOL, I AM WEARING IT!"

Excellent. Just excellent. I can imagine only a pair of shoes sticking out from underneath.

You can do it with burrows too, for non-cloth artifacts. Make a burrow that includes all the things the dwarf wants, but not the centre tile of the workshop that it claimed. The dwarf will carry stuff into the workshop, drop it, then decide that stuff is unusable and go for another without unmarking it from the mood job. To finish the artifact, just remove the dwarf from the burrow.
Warning: military alerts will also finish the mood.
