Use a sewing tape measure to measure your head - you can always
make it smaller later. (Not your head - the crown!) This one
started at 23".
Cut 1/2" strips of dark coloured cardstock and glue or
tape them together to make a long strip which is the length
of your head measurement.
Die cut and emboss three strips of Fleur De Lis border using
the darker cardstock. At the same time, you can cut and emboss
a set of the little insert flags from Banner Basics 2 of the
same dark colour.
Die cut and emboss 5 strips from Banner Basics 2 using lighter
coloured cardstock.
Cut and emboss more of the little insert flags using the darker
cardstock until you have enough for all the banner strips.
|
Where the gold is showing through the die is where you will
be applying the Jones Tones Plexi - remove the cardstock from
the die before you add the gold foil.
|
Place the Fleur De Lis border back on its die. Use a small
utility brush to appy Jones Tones Plexi glue on the cut out
portions of die. This glue is not runny so will not easily
seep under the die. Carefully remove the cardstock from the
die and set aside to dry. Repeat with the other two pieces.
When the Jones Tones Plexi glue is dry, it will be translucent,
but still tacky. Place the transfer foil shiny side
up onto the glue and rub with your finger to transfer the
foil to the glue. Repeat with all your Fleur De Lis borders

Use glue or double sided tape to attach the contrasting flag
inserts onto the Banner Basics 2 strip. Repeat for all flags.
Place your double-sided tape along the bottom edge of your
headband. Position the Banner Basics 2 strip so that none
of the headband appears in the gap between the flags. Attach
the rest of the Banner pieces along the length of the headband
making sure that when you add a new Banner, the gap between
the flags is consistant. You may want to trim or overlap the
ends of the Banner pieces.
|
Trim the excess from the headband so that it is no longer
visible from the front.
|
Backside of the headband.
|
Mark the center of your band with a soapstone pencil - tweak
the "center" so it is in the middle of a flag.
Make marks 1" on either side of the center mark.
|
Apply double-sided tape to the back of the Fleur De Lis Border
|
Tape the Fleur De Lis border to the top of the headband working
from the marks as shown above (Leave a gap!), slightly covering
the tops of the Banner flags.

Stamp Queen of and Everything
on a piece of natural coloured cardstock using Night Sky VersaMagic
Dewdrop.
Allow to dry.
Position appropriately sized Classic Oval Small Die and die
cut and emboss with Grand Calibur or other die cutting machine.
Die cut and emboss blue cardstock with next size larger Classic
Oval Large Die. Glue or tape quote-stamped oval to the larger
blue oval. There will be a 1/8" blue border around the
quote.
Die cut and emboss two Fleur De Lis medallions from gold cardstock.
Cut one apart and glue or tape the gold pieces to the back of
the blue oval to create your Queen Medallion. Don't you think
this would make a pretty cool lapel pin? :-)
|
Center the Queen Medallion and use double-sided tape to attach
it to the headband as shown. Curl headband until it is the
correct diameter for the head in question, trim so there is
a slight overlap and use glue or double-sided tape to secure.
