You can first measure the child's head with a flexible measuring tape, and then transfer the size to cardboard. Cut with an allowance so you can join the edges and glue. But don't hold them together yet. Place a cardboard blank on your work surface, draw a pattern that will be inside and on top of the crown. Cut along these lines. If you want the work to be perfectly neat, then first apply the drawing to the template, then attach it to the cardboard, cut it out.
This same template will help you create the desired curls from golden wrapping paper. Lubricate it from the inside out with glue, attach it to the cardboard blank, connect it. Glue the 2 pieces of the crown together and at the back.
Now apply the melted silicone from the glue gun to the bottom edge of the crown, position the beaded necklace in this place. If you don't have one, then use separate beads, gluing them at the same distance.
A glue gun will also help attach large and small pebbles. When the work dries up, you can put it on the head of a girl or boy. After all, this product can be created not only for a young lady. The king's crown for the holiday is also made.

Mastic jewelry
The hostesses know that this sweet mass helps to decorate pastries so that they turn into works of culinary art.
At first glance, it seems that making such a cake is very difficult, but it is not. The cakes are baked from biscuit dough in a round shape. If you don't have one, a suitable sized oven pan will work. You can even bake it in a slow cooker, in a bowl.
Then the biscuit is cooled a little, removed from the mold, cut with a sharp long knife into 3-4 cakes. When they are completely cool, grease with butter cream, put in the refrigerator. You can buy mastic or make it yourself from marshmallow candies or powdered sugar. Food colors will help you achieve the desired shade.
Further, the mastic is rolled into a layer, sprinkling a rolling pin, the working surface with powdered sugar. After that, this piece is transferred to a chilled cake.
To keep the mastic better, grease the cakes with butter, not only to connect to each other, but also the top, sides of the cake. Cool it down. After you put the mastic on the baking, you need to roll it out with a silicone rolling pin so that it lies on the cake evenly and stretched out, and cut off the excess at the bottom. This confection has pink mastic decorations in the shape of rhombuses. Their seamy side is moistened with water and glued to the main layer, and then decorated with sugar pearls.
It is also not difficult to make a magic wand from mastic, as well as a crown. Such children's mastic cakes will become a bright and unforgettable moment of the holiday. Let's take a closer look at how to make a home cake decoration in the form of a crown. There are several ways to make it.

Now sprinkle the board or table with powdered sugar, roll thin "sausages" out of it and immediately place them on the bottle. Place the first one in the form of a tiara rim, the rest form and decorate it.
When the plan is completed, you need to leave the crown to dry for 1-2 days, then cover it with canurin and lay on the cake.
Mastic jewelry on this topic can be made a little differently. For the second, you'll need gold food paint. Roll out the mastic into a triangular layer. We cut it with a knife so that the workpiece turns out to be of this shape and is even.
Now, with a glass, cut out the same round holes along the top edge of the crown, and using a small stencil - small circles. We decorate the crown with sugar pearls and leave it to dry well on a plastic bottle or jug.
