Looking back at my mock up version of the lid, I realised that making Queen Mary's head stand out more would be more effective. I cut another layer of the card out, which will look much better on my final prop.
I then cut small leaves from this card to put around the centre circle. I chose to use cardboard for the leaves because it is thicker than paper or a doily (which I was considering using) so will give better definition of the leaves when covered in tissue.
I covered the whole lid in a layer of PVA and tissue and left it to dry.
I only realised after I had made this layer that I didn't leave room on the lid for the M's either side of the centre circle. If I was to try and put them in now I think the lid would look overcrowded, so I have decided to leave the lid as it is. I am pleased with how it is looking, also this prop is for theatre therefore not as much detail is needed as if this was a hero prop for film.
