  Step 2

  1. & 2. Cut 6 arches in cardboard and newspaper
  3. Cut a 22" x 1" wide strip of cardboard for the band
  4. Glide all the pieces along a table edge to create a slight curve on each piece
  5. Glue the 22" long piece together to create a band
  6. Glue the arches evenly around the band and clamp in place with clothespins while they dry
  7. Hot glue the tops of the arches around a foam ball
  8. Decoupage newspaper over all of the pieces of the crown
  9. Mist the entire crown with water and set a small weight (I used the water bottle) on the foam ball and let it dry
  10. Hot glue bead trim down the center of each arch
  11. Hot blue rhinestone trim around the band
  12. Add a decorative edge with hot glue around the edges of the arches
  13. & 14. Base coat the crown in Vintage Brass and then dry brush the color of your choice over the gold
  15. Paint another crown in gray and sponge DecoArt Metallic Lustres on top
  16. Embellish with rhinestone cup chain or trim to finish
