Greetings community, this past Monday we commemorated the anniversary of October 12th, the Day of Indigenous Resistance. It was a holiday here, and my daughters didn't have school because of the celebration, so we rested at home.

For those who don't know about this anniversary, I'll tell you a little about it. It's meant to commemorate what happened on that date. There was violence, torture, and massacres against the indigenous people because the Spanish, along with Christopher Columbus, wanted to seize our territory and its riches.

Previously, the holiday was called Columbus Day, but in 2002, the current government changed it to Indigenous Resistance Day. Therefore, I will make an Indigenous crown in honor of all those Indigenous people who defended Venezuelan lands.

This craft is easy to make, let's get started. Join me to see the process...

• Red glitter foam sheet.
• Green glitter foam sheet.
• Scissors.
• Hot glue gun.
• Hot glue sticks.
• Ruler.
• Letter-size white paper.
• Pen.
• Elastic thread.

From the red glitter foam, I measured 27 centimeters long by 3.5 centimeters wide to make the strip that will be the base of the indigenous crown. I marked it with the pen and cut it out with the scissors.

To make the feathers, do it as follows: fold the letter-size sheet as shown in the figure and with scissors cut an oval shape from the bottom to the top and remove the template for the feather.

Keep in mind that the thickness of the feather will depend on how far it is from the fold when cutting. I placed the template on the foam and marked the three feathers I wanted, then cut them out.

The length of the feather is up to you; in this case, it measures 12.5 centimeters.

Next, cut diagonally along the edges of the foam sheet to create the feather shape. Repeat this process for the remaining feathers.

On a hot iron, place the feather so that the edges are shaped, fold it in half so that it looks like this.

The three feathers are glued together and holes are made with scissors at both ends of the strip of the indigenous crown to then place the elastic thread.

I made a triangle on the 3-centimeter sheet of paper, which will be the template, I cut it out and transferred it to the frosted green foam sheet. I made six of them and glued them onto the strip as shown in the image.

Take the crown strip and glue the three feathers to the back of the glittery craft foam, in the center. Thread the elastic through the holes in the indigenous crown so you can attach it to your head.

This is how it turned out, and my favorite model is wearing it so you can appreciate it.

Saludos comunidad, esté lunes que pasó se le rindió homenaje a la efeméride 12 de octubre día de la resistencia indígena. Acá fue feriado, mis hijas por la celebración, no tuvieron clases,así que se descansó en casa.

Para los que no saben de está efeméride, les voy hablar un poco, ella trata de hacer un recordatorio de lo ocurrido en esa fecha. Hubo violencia, tortura, masacre en contra de los indígenas,porque los españoles junto a Cristobal Colon quería apoderarse de nuestro territorio y sus riquezas.

Anteriormente la efeméride se le llamó día de la raza, pero en el año 2002, el actual gobierno de turno lo cambio a día de la resistencia indígena. Por lo antes mencionado, voy a realizar una corona indígena haciendo alusión a todos esos indígenas que defendieron las tierras venezolanas.

Está manualidad es fácil de hacer, comencemos. Acompáñame a ver proceso...
