I cant seem to figure out and there's very minimal tutorials online. My issue is what to use inside so the crown sides rest/dries in that shape and have the fabric ruffle look in the middle. I have tried saran wrap scrunched up but all the sides dont look even. 

I plan on it being fully dummy, not sure if that makes it easier or harder.

Hey I was just in the kitchen and had a thought, if you have a mixing bowl, like the kitchen aid, you could use that to lay the strips on, instead of the making a mold like in the link. Of course it depends on the size of the crown you are making....I think it would give the shape of the crown.

This.....the link is broken so here's the pic...styrofoam
