a.) Funny Crown- create a jester-like crown with colorful buttons and pom-poms.

b.) Pretty in Pink- pretty up your crown with glitter glue, plastic gems, and rhinestones. Get more bejeweling ideas from our Bejeweled Crown craft.

c.) Princess Crown- go for an absolutely princess look by gluing a boa at the bottom edge of your crown, adding rhinestones, gem-style stickers, glitter glue, and a princess sticker (or look for a Princess clipart online, print it and cut it out).

d.) Frog Prince- cut out craft foam, felt, fabric, or paper into simple shapes and put them together to create an exciting design. This would be a great way to incorporate animal and cartoon characters to your crown. Add other materials like wiggle eyes, buttons, or brads to accent your crown. |
