Joyfolie: DIY Wednesday - Lace Crowns

A few notes before I begin the tutorial: this was not my original idea. Most of my tutorials are, but I found this idea via Bitter Betty Blog. You can view her tutorial here. I modified it a bit, which I will explain.

Lifestyle Design Experiments
This is the place where you find all the lifestyle design experiments I'm sharing online. A lifestyle design experiment is where we take a simple idea or radical lifestyle concept and give it a test run in our lives. We're only obligated to it for 30 days, enough time to form it into a habit. After the 30 days are up, we can choose to let go of the idea if it's not serving us, or keep it. Ideally, we want to try things out which we believe will have a massive positive impact on our lives and bring ourselves to a whole new level of existence.
