How to Make a Wonder Woman Crown

Wonder Woman's gold crown is an essential piece of her uniform.

Wonder Woman is a character created by DC Comics in 1941. She has a curvaceous figure and long, dark hair. She wears a red and gold bustier and knee-high red boots. She carries a lasso that she uses to capture enemies. Wonder Woman also wears two gold bands around her wrists as well as a gold crown. You can easily make your own Wonder Woman crown from flexible plastic.

Things You'll Need

• Flexible measuring tape
• Paper
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Flexible gold PVC plastic
• Scissors
• Glue
• Flexible red plastic

Instructions

1. Measure the circumference of your head where you want the crown to rest. Wonder Woman's crown crosses her forehead, but you can wear yours however you want.

2. Make a template. Start by drawing a straight line on paper equaling your measurement of your head, plus one inch. Sketch an outline of the crown around the line. Wonder Woman's crown is a narrow band in the back that gradually widens toward the front, ending at a point in the center. Sketch a slightly smaller second version of same shape on paper.

3. Cut out the larger paper template and trace it onto gold PVC plastic. Do the same with the smaller template. Cut the patterns out of the plastic.

4. Bend the larger piece of plastic into a crown and glue ends to form circle. Glue the smaller crown on top of the larger. Keep the crown in a circular shape as it dries to hold its rounded shape.

5. Cut out a five pointed star from red plastic. Glue the star to the front, center of crown. Once all glue is dry, wear your crown.
