If we are talking about a simple model of a corona made of velvety foamiran, then here you will need to measure its girth and height using a simple centimeter tape. Measurement should begin from the center point of the forehead. The resulting numbers should be transferred to a rectangular sheet of paper.

Let us examine a few useful recommendations for the manufacture of foamiran crowns.

• A stencil for making any crown or tiara can not only be downloaded from the Internet, but also generated independently. Especially cool options are obtained from more experienced craftsmen.
• Cut out all the details as accurately as possible. Use scissors only with sharp blades - do not use a blunt tool.
• For the manufacture of high-quality and beautiful crowns, it is better to use not the Chinese, but the Iranian type of foamiran. It costs more, but it looks more spectacular and is more practical, wear-resistant.
• When gluing the parts of the accessory, one should not overdo it with glue. If there is too much adhesive, the crown will be less attractive and neat.
