This is probably the most fun part of the Crown Making Class. You will now decorate and style your crown using embellishments.

PAPER PLEAT: I am going to teach you how to make a paper pleat wheel. You need to cut a strip of paper {handmade paper is the best to use for this as it’s flexible} about 2’’1/2 and start forming an accordion {each fold is about a little more than a ¼”}. Form the wheel and to secure it together in the center, add a few glue drops with your glue gun.

TIP: You can also “cheat” and make two half wheels and then glue them together.

To give them more dimension “dust” the edges with glitter. And add using stampings or flowers.

*Tomorrow you will learn how to assemble and glue a mini flower bouquet like the one on my “Vintage Garden Crown”.
