Princess Crown

'Princess' Genevieve Fey wearing her crown for the first time!

With Princess parties being so popular right now, this little craft can make it a little more personalized and special for your little 'Princess'!

This original idea came from a Pinterest pin which used a fabric doilie, cut in half, and stiffened in a circular shape, followed by spray paint and embellishments.

This simple crown is a take on that, and I can take no credit for any of it! My daughter-in-law, Brenda, was throwing my two granddaughters a combined princess party, (They have birthdays on the 10th & 13th of the same month!) and she needed a crown for her 3 year old. She designed and made the complete crown.

Genevieve Fey loves Anna from Frozen, and to complete her outfit she needed a crown but all the crowns available are usually silver, so Brenda made her this adorable crown using inexpensive and readily available supplies.

Supplies:

3" wide lacy-looking stiff ribbon (We found ours at Joann Craft & it feels like wire)
gold spray paint
embellishments (Buttons, antique jewelry, pearls, etc)

We had many choices, but ended up using what's on the roll...

Here Brenda is trimming off what she doesn't want... shaping it into a 'crown'...  

Since Brenda used the stiff 'lace' there was no need to stiffen it when she was done trimming. After she trimmed it to the shape she wanted, she spray painted it gold.

When dry, she added the embellishments that she felt matched Genevieve's dress. The hot pink and blue 'jewels' were star-shaped sequins that Brenda cut to a 'gem' shape! (Cheap & easy!!)

DONE!!! She just used regular bobby pins to attach it to Genevieve's head.
