DIY BLACK SWAN CROWN

[@puppykitten1]

I used a plain white dinner plate to make this crown with the hot glue and then just let the glue set in the fridge. Let me tell you, it was SO easy and turned out SO nice. Thanks for the idea! Now my costume looks soooo good, thanks to you!

[@TheSorryGirls]

yeah deffs could try! you'd be ending up wearing it as a headband instead of a crown it in the end it should all look the same from far away.

[@TheSorryGirls]

wow that is SUCH a great idea! everyone having trouble should try it this way :)

[@wiffanyt]

Great video. I'm not usually a DIY'er, but was excited to give this a try after coming across it. My crown turned out great! Only constructive feedback for future videos would be to include in the video or as written text in the video all aspects of the project. This video glossed over the part where you glue the crown to the tiara/base. That was probably the most difficult part for me too. But otherwise, really great job. Thanks!

[@ChlupataVidea]

you are a genius! thank yo so much for this idea, sweetie, awesome!

[@TheSorryGirls]

Try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes! It should be much easier to peel off afterwords :)

[@TheSorryGirls]

@riggett1 Hey there! Try doing a layer, and then tracing it again a couple more times. I don't know if we mentioned in the video but there are probably three layersish...

[@Beautyisntmakeupitsu]

i like the way u do these tutorial videos you tell us exactly what to do without taking an hour :)

[@TheSorryGirls]

@princesshyrule Thanks for the feedback and good to know that we have the approval from a theater pro!

[@emilypotter6742]

That crown is beautiful

[@StephanieLoves2sk8]

YOU GUYS ARE GENIUESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL YOUR COSTUME IDEAS!!!!!! Thanks so much!!! I subscribed cause you guys are AWESOME!!!!!

[@alicekez7604]

I forgot that it was a "black swan crown" so when she said "what time is it?" ...I yelled "ADVENTURE TIME!!" and got disappointed when she did not say that >_

[@AaliyahHunter]

I would have liked to see how it was applied as well as links to where i could have gotten the picture and crown . Could u make another step by step visual one ?

[@raindropst]

I kinda did this in art class, we took a bowl of water and put the hot glue in the water. It did pretty much the same thing. We just made a waterfall looking effect!

[@LilyCoification]

I didn't make the black swan crown but i did make a different tiara and it look really cool. thanks for the idea.

[@jainabhuva9451]

i hope it works out.after peeling it off how do you stick it to the crown??

[@TheSorryGirls]

@misscarlos326 we got it from a party supply store in toronto! Like I said it used to be a crown, but I broke off the top part because it was too pretty... then we made our own top part :) goodluck!

[@whitney8246]

Thanks! That probably would have worked if I hadn't forgot about it, it kind of broke off in pieces when I peeled it off frozen. I re-did the crown on wax paper and poked holes out, it was very easy! Thanks so much!

[@ixeybitsey]

DO NOT use a Pyrex Container, I didn't have plastic and it was a mess to take it out. In the poster it looks kinda shiny so I spray painted it black and added just a cloud dust of silver I had lying around and it looks just like real metal! Thank you so so much this was actually closer to the movie look and way more cheaper than buying another crown.

[@GinaMarrugat]

Thaaaanks a lot for the tutorial!!! I've made the crown and it really looks like in the movie! I didn't painted with acrylic paint... I used Stazon Ink and it really worked so well. Now I just have to attach some "diamonds" and it will be perfect! Thanks again!! You look so fun in the costume video! LOL

[@seacoastal]

Just made this - great idea, easy to do - and it looks awesome!

[@sdiegostcNo2]

Wow, you are a creative person, love this idea! Thank you :)

[@AHPCproperty]

Genius. Absolute genius! My crown is fantastic :) thankyou!

[@genericphangirl7527]

Omg this was my first vid I watched when it came out I can't 😂😂😂

[@ngafoo2240]

Totally gonna be a black swan for Halloween !!

[@princesshyrule]

It might be worth mentioning that you should use LOW temp hot glue. I work in the theater and I have to make things like this on a quick basis. This is actually a good idea!

[@BerthaJokins]

For a more metal-like look you could use nailpolish to paint it or metallic black spray paint...

[@lauraplenzik9393]

I did this and it was super easy, I used glass instead of the plastic container.

[@albjcp]

I actually used a foam black crown from Michaels and cut pieces out and added glitter!

[@julyjade24]

this is an amazing tutorial! i already own a high-temperature hot glue gun so i traced my template on parchment paper instead. it turned out perfectly. thank you kelsey and becky :]

[@magentaluv]

That looks exactly like it!

[@kamarc7]

thanks ladies! waiting for my paint to dry to glue it all together! i'm assuming you use the flat side of the melted glue as the front of the crown (like the bottom side after peeling it off plastic container)?

[@banana2510]

that's such a great idea!

[@6kate101]

Just curious but can you use something else to substitute the plastic container? Thank you!

[@mariasingh3424]

i think your creation looks great

[@AlyssaJernigan]

Where is the print out for this template? I love your idea and would like to use it! Thanks!

[@misscarlos326]

thanks, will look in my daughters closet and see if I'm lucky.

[@Marbar1557]

You girls have the best ideas.!

[@AsHleyIsMusiC3]

i did this today but the glue wouldnt come off of the plastic bowl...so i redid it on foil! then i had to pop out the foil holes for like an hourr. but the crown seems super delicate...i also painted it black..anyways, thank u so much for sharing this! im being this for halloween(:

[@keshawooah]

ahhh can i make this in time for halloween the whole costume?

[@acmulhern]

Glue it with your glue gun. If its too stiff to bend, put it in warm water for a few minutes , then take it out, dry it and bend it to your desired shape. It's better to paint it after you glued it onto the crown :)

[@secretgirl47]

you so so smart you save my LIFE

[@cobugi]

can't wait to do this next year! thanks!

[@Jessashfair]

wow! amazing thank you! im gonna be the black swan for halloween this year :)

[@peachelet]

Im making one now ;) Thank so so soooo much! Amzing eh? Lol canadian here~ Im 1 hour away from toronto! Don't wanna give out too much infoo :P

[@laikamoon1988]

very cool and creative

[@memea7499]

What a great idea, thanks!

[@JessicaRussianSifontes]

I would recommend using a glass container instead of a plastic one. Also, why does she intonate every phrase as if it is a question?

[@salmandron]

Jessica Russian Sifontes plastic is more flexible so it may be easier to release. Some people talk differently making us all unique.

[@julieban9]

AWSOME!

[@whitney8246]

I am having trouble peeling the dried hot glue crown off of the container, any ideas of how to do so?

[@jamiea2983]

im gonna be the black swan for halloween

[@Carolina-yc7hy]

thanks , i did it and was really great, everybody told me that was amazing :)

[@superdupereeka]

great I was looking for a way to make a Gothic mermaid crown.

[@samam5637]

It looks good, I think you may have better luck with wax paper though. Keep making more designs!

[@misscarlos326]

great idea, thanks! where did you buy the metal thing?

[@Claire18Hi]

is there any way you can do this without a glue gun???????????

[@3bdura7man]

i want ravenna's crown sooooo badly can u make it? even if it need wood cutting or something pro

[@JassieLovesU]

wont the hot glue melt the plastic box

[@Odreeei]

How did you make to have the image of the crown? Can you send me please ?

[@reelcaroline]

you also can use black glue sticks!

[@Tormentilla88]

great idea!!!

[@joy397]

cool!!!!!!!! but i think i'll just play it safe and spray paint a cheap plastic tiara...great idea tho!!!!

[@RavenVonKnight]

Genius!!!

[@Nikole_Raven]

I would have never thought to make this crown from glue gun glue. Glue Gun Glue? what?

[@chiaraleoni9074]

the best way to do it is with parchment paper! ;)

[@Jeni718]

Im doing that, just clipping the headband on my head so it doesnt pull back into a headband

[@JassieLovesU]

Thank you..

[@kidfuzz]

[@presleysimmons8352]

[@HauteLively]

[@anoukpeeters3208]

[@TheCharlieJasz]

very creative, but every other sentance sounded like a question :PP

[@maceltuazon8955]

Genius

[@6DoctorWho]

i used aluminum foil as my headband

[@FallenRosee16]

@JassieLovesU Then cut it out and paint it black. People can't tell.

[@amberatomic321]

The beginning was so dumb but good idea

[@norafountain375]

Who came here right after 100 layers of hot glue :P

[@trishavasoya1611]

[@6DoctorWho]

I COULDNT FIND A HHHHUGGGGGEEEEEE CONTAINER or PLASTIC CROWN

[@romerok9999]

Can I dance in this?!❤️❤️

[@wiffanyt]

I salsa danced in my crown. It was challenging because salsa moves require a lot of fast over the head movements, so guys kept bumping my crown. But if you're just going to a regular club and dancing, should be fine if you dig the combs into your hair!
