Craft project #21: princess crowns


This project was a pretty simple one we did for Maggie's fourth birthday party, which was a princess party. Materials you'll need:
Posterboard
Rhinestone gems/sequins
School glue
Stapler/staples
Lengths of ribbon, ric rac, or sequin tape for embellishment
I used a simple crown template I found on-line. I was able to get posterboard downtown on our "paper street" in a variety of colors, but chose pink and yellow since we'd have boys and girls at the party. Sequins and gems were very cheap and easy to find in the sewing section of our market. I just divided sequins and gems into bowls, set them on tables, and let the kids pick what embellishments they'd like and glue them on their crowns. They had the choice of adding ric-rac or sequin tape to the bottom of their crowns. We then just stapled strips of left over cardboard to either side of the crown (maybe 8 in. by 1 in. strips) then custom fit them in the back, stapling the strips together to fit on the kids' heads.
