the thing we ar going to to by our selfs is a wonderful teen witch inspired crown. those who are regualr readers of STYLE ROOKIE our ROOKIE MAG may already know about the crowns i am going to show you how to make. i think they are inspired by the traditional mexican day of the dead headband which FRIDA KAHLO had worn ver often. and befor i show you how to do it on SD i have a wonderfull viedo you should watch if you are interested and brave enought o make and wear those crowns outside of SD.





ok i really like this video tavi and petra a the coolest really! but back to our little world, yesterday night after i finished my accessoires post i went to SD and thought about a rad outfit for my medoll and than i thought of the video above and how easy it should be to create such crowns for A_Horror so i went to the starplaza and bought tons of flower:



step 1 the hairstyle


 
i would recommend this hairstyle because it's simple and long hair so the crown will be the center of attention and not your hair. the haircolor is not very important just choose a color you like but keep it natural don't use pink, green, blue or any other pop color if you do your medoll will look like take out from an anime and put into SD.


step 2 the crown material 


 crown 1

 i used many flowers from the splendid shop, some stars i already had in my beauty parlor (don't ask me why) and a plastic skull i made with stardesign jewelry all in all i payed 35 $, i know this is much but only because SD wants 40$c for a simple fake flower ... nevermind you don't have to buy exactly the same things i did just buy some flowers you like and i would recommend to you not only buy every flower only once. i used the black braid as headband. you will need a headband as a basic-underground for your crown otherwise you may won't get the right shape. 

 crown 2

for the second crown i used the stardesign jewelry because you have all these childish little pendants you can use. i had to pay 7$ for this crown.


step 3 get the things together



start with the braid and put the flower all over it. it's up to you how you arrange the flowers which one should be in the middel as a center and so on.

you do the same with the stardesign corwn. build you crown around the headband till it's full of those little plastic things and you can't see the headband anymore. 


step 4 look at the complete crown 


crown 1


crown 2


that's simply it, there aren't many rules you have to follow:

  1. use a headband as a basic underground
  2. gether all the useless junk you can find in your beauty parlor
  3. being as crazy and creative as possible

here ar the templates i build my crowns after:
