PRINT, CUT, AND CREATE

Choose the template you like best, print it at the size you need, and use it as a pattern.

Transfer the design to EVA foam, cut out the outline and its inner holes, and your crown structure will be ready.

From there, your creativity begins.

You can use the EVA foam directly or cover it with the same lycra or fabric from the leotard to achieve a completely coordinated design.

After that, you just need to choose the decoration: crystals, different colors, sizes, and combinations to create a unique headpiece.

A single template can turn into infinite different designs.

DESIGNED FOR RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

In this guide, the aesthetic result isn't all that matters.

A gymnast performs spins, leaps, inversions, and rolls, so the headpiece must be light, flexible, and comfortable, avoiding rigid structures or materials that could poke or bother her during the exercise.

That is why we explain how to build the base and different systems to properly secure it to the bun using loops for hairpins or elastic.
