I was able to take the time to carefully plan where the majority of the embellishments went on. I carefully hot-glued them down in their selected spots. At first, I thought that the colors were a bit much for the gold that I had chosen, but as time went on I grew to really love how it turned out. Between the real crystal beads to the little plastic sticky pearls I placed, each added an element to the crown. Once the gems were glued down and safely secured, I began to attach the cap to the crown. At first, it seemed fine to use the hot glue, but it had issues holding onto the plastic and paint. So I turned to using Krazy glue. I ensured that there weren’t any spots soaked through the fabric and that it did not have an obnoxious odor. I then skulpticoated the plastic pearls and beads that I worried about falling off, I needed that extra bit of protection if it was to be worn by an Actor, hypothetically. By the time the crown was done my youngest sister had come in to check in on my progress. She was very willing to model the finished project.
