Steps (8 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find a new or used tin bucket and measure out crown points evenly with the circumference of the bucket. Draw out points with a sharpie.

  2. 2

    Using tin snips, carefully cut along your crown point sharpie lines.

  3. 3

    Stick styrofoam balls on the tips of the crown, then spray paint completely silver. Take your two other colors and lightly spray gold and copper giving a gradient look.

  4. 4

    Hot glue round wax crayon to the center of each points of the crown. Spray them with paint.

  5. 5

    Hot glue rhinestones to the crayon rounds.

  6. 6

    Optional, use rhinestone strips and write out monogrammed style lettering to the center of the crown.

  7. 7

    Cut 1.5 wood board to an appropriate width for the crown and bend back sides of crown and bolt to wood board. (You will have to drill a hole in the tin with a metal drill bit.)

  8. 8

    Mount to wall studs using long wood screws through the wood board. Add curtain rod and drapes and walla! Royal!
