(PROCEDIMIENTO)

Paso 01

Step 01

I start by marking a 25 x 25 cm square on the cardboard. He helped me with the ruler and pencil and with the cutter to cut. It is important that the cardboard we are going to use is thick and resistant, I am going to cover this one on both sides with blue metallic cardboard. I am also going to cut the circular base in cardboard taking into account the measurement of the girl's head. I will make some small cuts on the edges to give greater resistance to the cap and I will put white foam inside. Then I proceed to glue them right in the center of the square piece making sure it sticks very well.

Paso 02

Step 02

The main decoration will be the marabou, which will be glued along the entire edge of the square base with hot silicone. After this, I will put lace inside and under the marabou. I placed the crown in the front corner of the cap and added gold butterflies and litmus stones on the sides. I already had the butterflies on hand so the process was a little easier.

Paso 03

Step 03

I also decorate the entire edges of the circular piece with gold lace, shingles and pearl lace, covering the junction with the square piece. Now I proceed to cut my client's name out of gold metallic cardboard and place it on a white base and then glue it to the front part that fits the crown. In the rest I will decorate with the same litmus stones that I glued on the top part.

Paso 04

Step 04

We assemble a butterfly-shaped bow with the ribbons and secure the center with gold lace, letting the rest of the ribbon fall. On these I will put the promotion year in pretty gold letters.

Resultado!
