In this hour long class learn how to make your own gorgeous crown to wear on fun Zoom occasions in this Virtual Zoom Crown Making Class workshop hosted via Zoom.
This is a beginner level workshop, no prior experience necessary.
Join Kentucky Derby fascinator professional Lisa Shaub for our one hour Virtual Zoom Crown Making Class where we create a crown from materials we have at home. You can make yours big or small, over-the-top unique, and
paparazzi flashbulb worthy.
We end the class with a virtual cocktail party, wearing our new crown while we have a drink together. Grab some friends online, and fire up your imagination!
In this online art craft class you will learn to:
- Create a headband in a shape using hand painted paper. Lisa will walk you through how to make the correct shape to suit your face.
- Create beautiful trims out of paper and found objects. Lisa will show you every step of how to make your flower centers, how to create depth with color and sculpting, and make other trims out of paper.
- How to assemble your crown. Together we will put together our elements and find the combination that works best.
- How to attach your trims, balance the design, and finish your piece.
Materials list:
- printer paper or
- unlined paper (if you don't have that use the paper you have on hand)
