Problem: Article: Place a measuring tape or a piece of string over the top of the headband. Measure it from end to end. This will be your guideline for your crown. Your crown design must fit between the two lines you made. If the design extends past those lines, your crown will be too big. Be sure to include a thin line along the base, so that your crown will stick together. Try not to make the crown too tall, or the hot glue will flop over even after it set. You can use regular clear hot glue, or you can use glitter hot glue. Go over the design two to three times to make it thick and sturdy. Be sure to draw a line across the bottom of your design. This will help hold your crown together. You will also be using this to attach the crown to the headband. You can fill it in with solid glue, or with squiggles, loops, and swirls. Whatever design you choose, make sure that it touches the outline of your crown, or it won't hold together. Most hot glue sets pretty quickly, depending on how cold it is in the room. Some glues will turn opaque once they harden, while others will remain clear. Place the crown back on the parchment paper and decorate it. You can paint it, cover it with glitter, or even glue some rhinestones on. To go with the ice theme, chose colors such as blue, turquoise, white, and silver. Here are some decorating ideas: To give your crown a translucent color, use colored permanent markers to color it in. Avoid using paint pens, as those are not translucent. To give your crown a solid color, use acrylic paints and a paintbrush. You can use regular acrylic paint, metallic acrylic paint, or even glitter paint. Give your crown some sparkle with glitter. Paint your crown with Mod Podge or white glue, then shake some glitter onto it. Tap the excess glitter off. The best glitter for an ice crown would be super fine iridescent glitter. Glue tiny rhinestones or pearls along the base of the crown. You can use hot glue or superglue. Decorate the crown with rhinestones or tiny snowflake confetti/sequins. You can put a large rhinestone in the center, and use smaller ones towards the edges. You can also put some rhinestones on the points. Use hot glue or superglue for this. This will give the hot glue something to grip on to. Place a drop of hot glue on one end of the headband, and press the end of a ribbon into it. Wrap the ribbon around the headband, like a candy cane, overlapping the edges by a little. When you get to the other side, trim off the excess ribbon, and secure the end with more hot glue. Choose a ribbon that is to inch (0.64 to 1/27 centimeters) thick. Try to choose a color that matches your crown. Flip your crown over so that the back is facing you. Draw a thin line of glue along the bottom of the crown. Press the crown to the top of the headband. Make sure that the crown is centered. When you lay the headband flat on the table, the crown should be sticking straight up. Even though you made the crown on a headband, you won't be wearing it like a headband. Instead, put the crown on top of your head, like a halo or tiara.
Summary: Get a thin, plastic or metal headband and measure it across it. Place the string or measuring tape on a sheet of parchment paper and mark off where the headband begins and ends. Draw your design on the parchment paper. Use a hot glue gun to trace your design. Fill your design in. Let the glue harden, then peel it off the parchment paper. Decorate the crown and let it dry. Consider wrapping the headband with some ribbon. Hot glue the crown to the headband. Wear the crown.

Problem: Article: If you have been folding your sheets individually, you won't need to separate your papers, but if you have been folding six at a time, you'll need to separate these to move forward. Stack your finished, folded papers into like piles, one with the colored side out and the other with the white side out. Be sure your colors correspond between piles. If the first color of your colored pile is red, the first color of your white pile should also be red (on the inside). You should fold the top triangular part of your paper along its base so that the triangles face outward to form wings. These will be inserted into your colored papers. To find the pocket on your colored paper, slightly open the outer flaps of paper on the "legs." This is the pocket into which you will insert the white flap of your other paper. You will also need to: Using your right hand, hold together the outer flaps on the legs of one side of your white paper. Then fold down the top triangle part so that it forms a flap that you can insert into the pocket of the colored paper. Once you have successfully inserted your white flap into the colored pocket, open the "legs" that you've been holding together with your right hand on the other side to expose the other flap. Now you can fit the second flap into your next piece of colored paper. Lock your white and colored papers together until all 12 pieces are connected. The bottoms of your linked pieces of paper should be even. Now you can fold the right two flaps of your outermost white paper to reveal the next paper in the series, which should be colored. Then fold the top of your paper down so that the flat top edge is even with the base of the now inverted triangular shape. This should form the same left and right outward pointing triangles that you folded when you creased your lock folds. Fold all of your lock creases for each paper, starting from one end and skipping the end white paper. You should spread out your now connected and locked together papers to make connecting the ends easier. Put the end white papers final flap into the pocket of the colored paper at the other end of your paper chain. Close the two outer locks by rotating the paper so that the inside is facing outward. Once you have locked all the individual parts of your firework together and have rotated the inside out, your firework should be complete.
Summary:
Separate your papers, if necessary. Fold out the flaps of your white papers. Insert the flap into the pocket. Free the other white flap. Invert the paper so the top triangle faces downward. Connect your ends together.
