When my cousin asked me to make her a crown, it started all kinds of design ideas racing through my head. It’s such a fun project and results in a fun item to wear too.
Recently, my son and I were at the beach, and we literally stumbled upon a big area of real rose petals someone left. They matched my crown perfectly, and I couldn’t believe we found this… made my whole day!
