Step by step, we continue our journey to the finished crown.

This is the second stage in the creation of the crown. And here we will fix the frame and add decorations to the back of the crown.

At this stage, we will need:

  • Carnations for creating jewelry

  • Small sequins

  • Cap for beads

  • Large sequins

  • Cylindrical beads

  • Large beads No. 7/0

  • Crystal shape Beads

  • Beads with facets

  • Large rhinestones (sewn on)

  • Transparent Beads

  • Glitter

  • Fishing line for beads

  • Needles for beads

  • Acrylic

  • Brush

  • Glue

  • Scissors

  • Lace

We start with the most central element. I want it to be bigger than the others. The idea is this: create a composition of beads around a large rhinestone. There are two rows of beads around it, and then the "rays" of beads diverge.

We collect beads on the fishing line and hug a large rhinestone. To fix this ring of beads on a large rhinestone, I connected the beads with large stitches on the back side.

We fix the ring of beads to a large rhinestone with glue, which we smear the same stitches on the back side.
The second ring of beads is sewn to the first. But I don't have a photo of this process.

After the rings of beads, we make rays. I first make a strip in the center, and from it at a small distance the other two (four in the most central).

In the central beam, I inserted a nail for jewelry. So that it stands vertically and does not tilt. The element is ready, and we glue it to the crown frame.

This is what the reverse side looks like. The next stage is the suspension of sequins.

I came up with this rhythm of beads and sequins.

I fixed the fishing line under the main element, and create threads with beads and sequins from the base to the base.

The next step is to attach the lace to the hoop. I wanted the lace to be more textured, so I cut off the excess in my opinion.

We glue the lace in the hoop. Now we can attach the hoop and the frame to the back of the crown. I just sewed the line of contact of the frame with the hoop.

When I put the two pieces together, I saw how much space was left. I sewed the loose part of the lace to the crown frame. And I decided to add a large bead in a large cap.

IMG_2883[1].jpg

I sewed the cap to the lace and crown frame.

IMG_2884[1].jpg

And just stuck a big bead inside it.

IMG_2885[1].jpg

We paint the wire winding with black acrylic.

IMG_2886[1].jpg

The back of the crown should also be as decent as possible. We paint the back side of the composition with a large rhinestone black acrylic.

IMG_2887[1].jpg

While the paint is raw, I poured glitter.

IMG_2888[1].jpg

And I glued a composition of sequins and beads on top.

The back of the crown is ready.
