This crown/halo is made from a vintage Easter bonnet discovered at a second hand store. It was then embellished with more flowers and the satin ribbon was added. The lapel flower is made from all new materials. The crown sits on the head loosely. You can see the wired pipe cleaners in the picture on the inside which are flexible. I attached it to my hair with bobby pins. It is not meant for a child's head. It would be too big for a child. It has been kept in a pet-free, smoke-free home.
