Wherein I share some of my costuming projects and natter on at you about clay and hot glue…because I want to.
I wouldn’t say this is a how to…since that would imply that I know what I’m doing. But if for some reason you need to make a Thranduil crown, here’s how I did mine. I was super pleased with how it turned out. It was a quick and dirty project and while there are real tutorials out there by much more serious crafters, my few easy steps did what I wanted and needed them to do.
For those of you who don’t know who Thranduil is…Thranduil is the king of the Woodland realm in the Lord of the Rings saga. You know, that place where Bilbo had to rescue the dwarves and smuggle everybody out in wine kegs?
You know…this guy?

Possibly the creepiest depiction of an elf ever…scarring many of our 80’s childhoods forever.
Or…better yet…this guy…?

I ❤ Lee Pace SO HARD.
My friends and I do a Randy Thrandy parade group every year. And this year I decided to break down and make myself a crown.
