  • Cheap and easy way to make a crown :D
    Length of strips: 21.5 cm
    Width of strips: 2.5 cm
    The shape was certainly inspired by the Queen of Hearts in the game Alice: Madness Returns (one of my favorite games as many people know)
    I have been dying to make one for myself and and so happy to finally do it. Hopefully this can help some of you out in future cosplays, costumes or just wearing around for fun!
    And hopefully the techniques can be transferable in accomplishing other projects ^.^
    I am beyond happy I was able to upload this
    My editing software was having major issues due to the amount of footage that went into this. I was terrified I was going to lose all my editing
    Luckily editing is pieces worked out, so all is well ^_^
    Hope you enjoy!
    Products I Used:
    ~ Craft Foam
    ~ Hot glue gun
    ~ Dollar store scissors
    ~ Ruler
    ~ Modge Podge: Gloss Finish
    ~ Tremclad Black Spraypaint
    ~ Dazzling Metallics: Shimmering Silver
    ~ Windsor and Newton Artist's Acrylic: Alizarin Crimson
    ~ Crafter's Acrylic: Gold
    ~ Crystal Clear Top Coat
    Song: Sunrays
    Artist: DJ Erhain

    Fantastic! This is the best DIY rendition of this crown I've seen. Thank you ❤

    I just made this last night. It was pretty quick and easy. I didn't want to paint it, so I used black, gold, and red glitter foam for each piece accordingly. I am excited to wear it with my costume.

    This is a great tutorial! I'm making a queen of hearts costume and my friends are being the mad hatter, the with rabbit, and Alice so this helps a lot. I just have one question, how do you get the middle of the crown to stay down? I'm making mine right now and the foam keeps popping back up

    • @Michellelynn003
      @Michellelynn003 9 лет назад

      Did you ever figure out an easy way? I'm on my third attempt right now and hoping to get it right this time. I used way too much hot glue on my last one trying to get it to stay in that shape
