Each girl wants to feel like a real princess, often the boys do not mind playing representatives of royal blood. So why should parents not please their children? A do-it-yourself paper crown can be made in minutes. We bring to your attention the instructions for the manufacture of this accessory and some useful tips.
What is the “correct” shape of the crown?
Start by taking measurements. You need to find out the exact volume of the head of a little princess or prince. Cut a sufficiently wide strip of paper, the length of which is equal to the value obtained during the measurement. Making a crown is quite simple - you only need to give the paper ribbon the right shape from the top edge. The easiest option is to cut the same cloves. But a
paper crown pattern may look more interesting. Try to make the protruding elements semicircular or even curly. It is also possible to cut out a crown consisting of several large teeth in the central part in front. The workpiece must be fastened into a ring, use a stapler for this, or simply glue the ends together.
DIY miniature crown made of paper
Small and royal hats look interesting and gentle. A small decorative crown can simply be cut out of paper or cardboard and attached to a hairpin, rim or paper tape fixed around the head. To make this craft, draw or print a template and cut it from the selected material. A do-it-yourself paper crown can also be made using the application technique. Glue several paper layers of different colors and / or textures and cut out the desired shape.
Kokoshnik - the headdress of Russian beauties
In addition to Russian folk costumes, the image of the princess or the Snow Maiden, it would be appropriate to make not an ordinary crown, but a kokoshnik. The shape of such an accessory can be a regular semicircular or with a protruding center and symmetrical rounded edges. An interesting idea is to make a triangular kokoshnik. We cut such a hat out of paper or cardboard, attach a tie or elastic to its edges, and then decorate it to your liking. Useful advice: since the kokoshnik is quite large, it is best to cut it out of thick paper or cardboard.
Royal Accessories Decor
Now you know how to make a paper crown in several different techniques. But, most likely, your blank will not look festive and luxurious enough. The finished crown must be decorated. The easiest option is to paste over with colored paper, foil or a shiny fabric. Do not be too lazy to glue individual decorative elements: rhinestones, beads, you can also use braid and lace. If you make the crown for the New Year's party, it will not be out of place to decorate it with tinsel. Another design option is to paint the paper blank with paints to your liking. You can conduct an interesting developmental lesson with children by inviting them to create and arrange crowns to their liking. It is very good if, in addition to the usual colors, you will have at hand gels with sparkles, golden and silver. A crown made of paper with your own hands can be made using some original techniques. Unusual “precious” pebbles will turn out if you cut a compact disk with a mirror surface into small elements. Try also finely chopping the rain and sticking it to the base. Do not be afraid to experiment. The best part is that the cost of this craft is such that, if desired, new crowns can be made at least every day.
