Text To Crown with envelope distort
I am trying to make a crown out of words. I have been through different video's and posts and my image still gets warped inside my object in a weird way.
This is my starting image

I filled it in with the shape builder tool to create a solid object.

This is the text that I want to go inside the crown.

however I get this instead

I don't know what I am doing wrong, or is there an easier way of doing what I want to do?
Thank you
