Children of kindergarten and primary school age are happy to participate in holiday mornings. And they love to dress up in costumes of princesses and princes. One of the main details of the outfit is the crown.
Royal Headgear Samples
What should be your paper crown? It all depends on personal imagination and skill. The easiest option is a classic, notched. It will be more interesting if the teeth are crowned with cones, circles. The paper crown in the form of a hoop and jewelry on the forehead looks different. It is worth recalling those hats that made up the national dress of a Russian girl in ancient times. Having chosen a style, you should think about the appearance. First of all, golden or silver paper will come to the rescue. In this case, a crown is made of paper of a cardboard sample and then glued. Stick on beads, fragments of Christmas tree rain and confetti on a shiny background, laying out the accessories with intricate patterns that imitate precious stones.
If you have taffeta, pieces of lurex or brocade, you can cover them with a cardboard blank. Especially successful will look the one on the fabric of which has its own patterns. In this case, you will only need to embroider them with beads, make pendants on the forehead and whiskey - and the ordinary crown of paper will turn into a chic decoration of the fairy princess. Depending on the nature and type of costume, a cape is attached to it or it is worn on a hat. And finally, such an offer. Find a flexible wire from which to make a suitable layout, then wrap it with a sparkling Christmas rain - thick, thick. Such a piece of clothing can be called universal, it is great for any costume.
Himself a master
And now from theory to practice. Let's make a crown stencil from ordinary, classic type paper. Take a piece of paper, a simple pencil, an eraser, scissors, a centimeter. Measure the diameter of the head. Divide by 2. On the Whatman paper, set aside 2 pieces, equal in size to half the size. Add a few more centimeters to the ends - for gluing.
Measure the width of the base of the crown and make another measurement - for height. Using triangles or a ruler, draw the teeth. Try to make them the same size. When one piece is ready, carefully cut. Attach the stencil to the second part of the princess paper crown blank. Circle and cut. Connect the halves with tailor pins and try on the person for whom the dress is intended. Correct if something is wrong. When you are convinced that the stencil is good, take cardboard, apply the halves of the crown and create “full”. Finished parts can either be glued or connected with a stapler. But first, cover them with elegant wrapping paper. To prevent the finished crown from pressing on the forehead, glue a strip of batting or other soft tissue folded in several layers from the inside. Then go in for jewelry. The use of pieces
of faux fur will be original as a design
. They surround the base of the exterior. Thanks to this finish, the crown will take on a truly regal look.
It’s so easy to do the most important part of the costume with your own hands.
