How to make a wire crown for the Snow Maiden

I had a chance to play the role of the Snow Maiden for this New Year. Scenario, contests, prizes... and even make a costume. As it turned out, the outfit for the Snow Maiden is not an easy task. You can, of course, rent it, but this is if one can be rented in your city, and if not all the costumes have been taken apart yet + if there is a financial opportunity.

So we decided to make our own costume. Today we will talk on the site knigorez.ru about the headdress of the Snow Maiden and offer you our own version of making a crown from wire. By the way, such a crown is suitable for both the Snowflake and the Snow Queen.

You will need:

- wire with a length of at least 1 - 1.5 meters, preferably aluminum, it is lighter in weight and bends easier. However, we did not have one at hand, so we took out the copper wire from the wire for electrical wiring and twisted it,

- tinsel of silver or any other color to match your dress with a length of at least 2 meters. Under my blue suit, royal blue tinsel came in handy.

So, the first step is to make the base. To do this, we involve dad and ask him to bend the wire into something like this composition. By the way, in our case, the back of the crown turned out to be scalable, it can be adjusted to fit any head. And after that - wrap with tinsel.

Next is creativity. You need to wrap the tinsel and you need to do it so that all the elements are covered with tinsel. I started wrapping from above, inserted one end of the tinsel into the place indicated by the red dot, wrapped the “spire” and then went to the first side, then the back, then the second side, and finally the front. There I wound the tinsel so as to close the gap and fixed the second end in the same place. I did not have to use any improvised means for fastening (no adhesive tape, no glue, no stapler).

This is how the crown turned out. In the last photo, I tried to schematically depict the tinsel winding scheme.
