- Cover the polystyrene ring with the metal-look tissue.
- Paint the baubles in a variety of colours. Make a hole in each polystyrene bauble with the point of the scissors and push the matchstick into it. This lets you hold the bauble without messing up your fingers.
- Apply the fabric stiffener to each bauble. Stick pins into each bauble.
- Wrap the baubles up in coloured string, winding it around the pins you stuck in.
- Apply the fabric stiffener to the string and allow to dry.
- Now you can pull the pins out.
- Assemble the crown by putting glue on the cocktail sticks and using them to spear the baubles to each other and to the polystyrene ring.
