Yield: 1 crown
Cost: $5
Materials
- Cotton lace
- Mod Podge Hard Coat
- Parchment paper
- Gold acrylic paint or gilding
- Flat-back pearls
- Plastic cup
- Headband or ribbon
Instructions
- To measure the lace, you'll use a plastic cup (a jar also works). Wrap the lace around the widest part of the cup before cutting.
- Apply Mod Podge to the cut lace on a non-stick surface, such as parchment paper. Apply a good amount of medium on both sides of the lace, and make sure to sop up the excess Mod Podge to avoid it pooling into the holes in the lace. Let the first coat dry.
- While the first coat is drying, wrap the plastic cup with parchment paper. Apply a second coat of Mod Podge to the lace (following step 2’s instructions), and then wrap the lace onto the plastic cup and let it dry. This will create and hold the crown shape for your lace.
- Once it is dry, you can leave it as-is or paint with a color. I used a gold leaf color for mine. Paint several coats inside and out and let dry.
- To further embellish the crown, glue down some half-back pearls onto the lace crown and let it dry. If you want to brush Mod Podge mixed with glitter onto the crown for a little sparkle, you can do that at this time as well.
- Finally, attach the crown onto a headband or ribbon and you are done! Tie the ribbon under your chin or a child’s chin to secure.
