We made Jeweled Crowns for our South Korea craft this week. The Koreans were known for their metal-craft skills. They created these elaborately decorated metal crowns for their royalty’s attire. Each crown contained countless jewels and precious stones! This fun craft is from our Global Art book.
Supplies:
- Construction paper or Foam crowns (I got mine at Michael’s Hobby Store)
- Glue
- Decorations such as glitter, jewels, markers, & anything else you like!
Directions:
Step 1: Cut out crown shape, or use pre-cut ones like we did.
STEP 2: Decorate as desired:
STEP 3: Wear them to dinner!

The daisies at the top are really cute and the tabs look good too.

Korean knotting is also very popular. There's a number of books on Amazon.com about it including this one:http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Knotted-Jewelry-Techniques-Projects/dp/0896898180/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s;=books&qid;=1285948602&sr;=1-2Pretty neat stuff! Wish I could have taken a class on it, I really wanted to learn how to do some of this since it looks so neat.
