If you are searching for a template for a princess crown, look for templates with softer shapes and curves. The more delicate, the better. If you are looking for a template for a royal crown, look for templates with jagged shapes.
If you are doing this project with kids, assist and supervise with this step.
If you want to use thinner paper, such as scrapbook paper or wrapping paper, glue it down onto a stiffer paper (such as cardstock) first. If you want your crown to be a special color (such as silver or gold), paint it first using spray paint or acrylic paint. Let the paint dry, then trace it, then cut it out.
To create a princess crown, use silver or gold glitter glue, and pink or purple gem stones. To create a royal crown, use gold glitter glue, and blue, red, green, or purple gem stones. To make a crown fit for an ice queen, use lots of silver or iridescent glitter glue. Use lots of blue and silver gem stones. If you want to make a creepy crown, consider using black glitter glue, and glueing on some plastic spiders and black or purple gem stones.
Consider wrapping floral tape around the twisted part to hide it and keep it from catching onto your hair.
The mini arrangements don’t all have to look alike. Put together unique combinations!
In order to make the floral tape sticky, you have to stretch it a bit.
Consider going with a seasonal theme. For example, for a Fall-themed crown, use lots of reds, oranges, and yellows. Try to include some maple leaves, sunflowers, and marigolds. Consider going with a holiday theme. For example, if you want to create a Halloween themed crown, consider using dark purple and black flowers. Roses, mums, and dahlias.
Consider wrapping a piece of floral tape around the seam to hide it, and to prevent it from catching your hair.
Consider saving the leaves off of some of the larger flowers. These can make great fillers. Do not use scissors to cut the silk flower stems. Many silk flowers have wires inside the stems, which can ruin a good pair of scissors.
Place the largest flowers in the front, and use smaller flowers towards the end. Alternate large and small flowers. Consider looping long pieces of ribbon at the back of the crown.
