Procure the base

Take the yellow chart paper. This paper will be a sturdy and vibrant base for the crown.

Draw the Crown Shape

Draw the shape of the crown onto the yellow chart paper. Ensure the base is wide enough to fit around the wearer's head.

Cut and Decorate the Top

Cut out the crown shape. Focus on the top point(s): take the pink stones and sequences and stick them neatly to decorate the top pointed part like a flower or a crest using Fevicol MR.

Embellish the Main Crown

Continue decorating the main band and arches of the crown. Take Rangeela Tempera Metallic Colours to paint the borders. Stick the assorted stones and sequences with Fevicol MR.

Add Tie for Wearing

Prick a hole at both ends. Insert the decorative thread inside the holes and tie a knot on each side. The thread is used to tie the crown securely around the head.
