Get a wire pants hanger(the kind with the paper bar on the bottom) remove the paper bar. unwrap the hanger(the part it hangs from) and shape it around your head. tuck the ends over and under(they should stay)Paint it to the wrapped part with the chrome blue polish(or whatever color you choose of course)

take some lace and cut them into the shape of your leaves. mod podge(i used regular glue though)the "leaves" to a piece of paper. cut the paper out and glue it to the same sheet over and over until it is four layers thick. throw it in the oven for about 5 mins on 350. you want them to be stiff and have some texture and what not.They look kinda crappy right?? hahahahahaha they aren't done!!!

now you glue your leaves into the position you want them(you may add more or less of course) and you paint your bauble(to do this paint the BACK with the glitter polish and let it dry. paint the middle with a dark blue polish and let it dry. Then go over it with the chrome and let it dry.
once everything is dry and ready you assemble it onto your crown. the bauble on the part that goes down towards your forehead and the leaves on the sides with hot glue
