- Cheap and easy way to make a crown :D
Length of strips: 21.5 cm
Width of strips: 2.5 cm
The shape was certainly inspired by the Queen of Hearts in the game Alice: Madness Returns (one of my favorite games as many people know)
I have been dying to make one for myself and and so happy to finally do it. Hopefully this can help some of you out in future cosplays, costumes or just wearing around for fun!
And hopefully the techniques can be transferable in accomplishing other projects ^.^
I am beyond happy I was able to upload this
My editing software was having major issues due to the amount of footage that went into this. I was terrified I was going to lose all my editing
Luckily editing is pieces worked out, so all is well ^_^
Hope you enjoy!

I remember watching this video ages ago and I came back to it now since I'll need to make a crown with a similar structure for my next cosplay, but watching it again I realized that all the techniques you taught in this video, like using scrap foam to pick up excess glue and gluing the strips to the edge of the circle to make it bevel, I took those all to heart and use them whenever necessary. So, thank you for teaching your various tricks in this video. It may seem small but it's helped in nearly every single one of my projects.
I never would have guessed that this GORGEOUS creation was made with craft foam! I have a new appreciation for it now. NsomniaksDream, You ROCK!
Countess Rouge Haha I know, I've come to find a certain love for craft foam over the years! :D Ty!!
Fantastic! This is the best DIY rendition of this crown I've seen. Thank you ❤
This looks waaaayy better than the 1 Dollar Crown I wanted to buy and it is individual. I think I'm going to try this instead of buying the cheap plastic crown. Thanks😊 the crown is gorgeous😍
I'm not making a crown, but your techniques are going to help me make a couple other pieces for a costume. Thanks for sharing!! This turned out adorable!!
Thank you so much! I always love being able to learn and pass on new techniques, so it's awesome you can find more than one use from this
Good luck in your costume building! :D
I will make sure to share when I'm done; I'm excited!!
NsomniaksDream lpllll
This is really cool I never would have guessed it was foam
You must have teflon fingertips. I would have never thought this was made from foam board. Very cute.
I am in absolute shock at how brilliant this is it seems so easy now I have over complicated this process in my head and frustrated myself many many times trying to make one of these and I didn't even think of the craft foam. Thank you so much for this video.
I'm totally doing this. We are doing the Alice in wonderland experience in September. I'm excited.
I just made this last night. It was pretty quick and easy. I didn't want to paint it, so I used black, gold, and red glitter foam for each piece accordingly. I am excited to wear it with my costume.
OMG you're literally a genius I have everything at home already and it is so so simple ! Keep doing diy you're crazy talented and creative

This looks awesome. I don't have craft foam but I'm going to see if I can get cardboard to work for me. This will look great with my Wonderland art tin that I made.
Awesome! Thank you for this, I needed a crown for a tea party outfit for an upcoming anime con and this is perfect!
Great tutorial! This was perfect for a last minute costume I'm making. I switched a few things up (used gold spray paint instead of black etc.) and it turned out amazing!
After seeing the initial pictures, you totally had me at craft foam. WHOA amazing. Thank you for this tutorial!
Haha thank you! The magic of craft foam ^_^
LOVE THIS!!! When I saw the picture on fb I wasn't sure what you used to make it but would have NEVER though it was made of craft foam. Amazing job! Would love to see more videos like this!
Haha always amazing what a coat of paint can accomplish :D
This is phenomenal! Great tutorial!

This was fantastic. Thank you so much for this video. I found it quite easy and fun. I would love to send you a photo of my own interpretation of it.
I would love to see it! I can usually see photos posted on my fb page or pm me :D
This is a great tutorial! I'm making a queen of hearts costume and my friends are being the mad hatter, the with rabbit, and Alice so this helps a lot. I just have one question, how do you get the middle of the crown to stay down? I'm making mine right now and the foam keeps popping back up
Did you ever figure out an easy way? I'm on my third attempt right now and hoping to get it right this time. I used way too much hot glue on my last one trying to get it to stay in that shape
This is amazing! How long did you let each layer of Mod Podge dry before the next coat?
That is SO cool!!
How much time did it take for you?
this is amazing! so creative
This is so awesome!!!!
do you think you can have a template for this? this is amazing ! I love how you made these.
Very cool.
amazing!!!!
love this I'm going do be the queen of hearts for halloweeen
What a great idea! I have begun to create this! Hopefully in time for Halloween! I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to how to attach it to your head? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This helped me make my last minute Queen of Hearts costume for Halloween
Ah! I'm so happy it could be of use to you!
I am being an Queen of Hearts/King of hearts inspired costume,and more I think about it this can work for him ^u^ and thanks for the magnet thing C:
This is incredible! Me and my friends are doing an "Alice in Wonderland" group thing for Halloween (Mad Hatter, March Hare, Alice, Cheshire Cat...) and this is perfect for my Queen of Hearts costume! I'm going to start making it today :) Thank you so much!
You're welcome - I'm so happy it can help! :)
wow Meg, sooo impressive! I wish I could do stuff like that!!
Thank you so much Isabelle
I bet you could - you're crazy talented girl!
I absolutely loved this tutorial! Do you think you could do a tutorial for a 'swan princess' tiara/crown? Thanks for sharing!
wow its amazing!
Girl u r damn good. That was super fab.
Can I also do this with Eva foam? It's about as thick as what you made with the craft foam so I won't have to layer right?
