Before the onset of all kinds of matinees in schools and kindergartens, many parents are puzzled by the manufacture of suitable costumes and accessories for children. Of course, now there are many such things on sale, but not everyone wants to buy them for two reasons. The first is the high purchase price, and the second is the desire to have an original outfit, which should be unique and in a single copy. Therefore, most mothers and grandmothers have to independently invent and sew the necessary clothes.
Royal greatness
Sometimes many parents have problems with the manufacture of additional accessories for New Year's costumes for children. More often than not, they don’t know how to make a crown for a princess with their own hands. And this attribute, by the way, is of great importance for the full-fledged image of a fairy-tale heroine. Therefore, poor-quality crafts, having a clumsy appearance, can spoil the whole look, even despite the beauty and chic of the dress.
You can achieve the desired result and give such an article a beautiful look and royal grandeur by selecting high-quality materials for its manufacture. But the selected material does not have to be expensive, since you can make a crown for the princess from improvised items.
Little beauty
Starting to make crafts with their own hands and not knowing how to make the crown for the princess correctly, some people make the same mistake when they try to make it very big. In fact, such a thing should be small, but at the same time very bright and visible.
The princess’s crown should not be confused with crafts for the king and queen, therefore, all her lines and form must be refined and curved. To achieve this result, most often use various tools to bend the teeth of the product so that they look like the petals of a lily. A finished exquisite crown for the princess, made with her own hands, needs additional fasteners to the child’s head, since she will not be able to stand on her own. Therefore, it can be attached with a thin transparent elastic band or invisible.
Second life of old things
Speaking about the material from which the crown should be made for the princess with her own hands, it can be argued that for these purposes most of the things that every house has are suitable. Plastic bottles, cardboard, copper wire, fabric and other products can be an excellent blank for future crafts.
When choosing the right materials, in order for the crown made for the princess to be safe for the child, some nuances should be taken into account. This means that in no case can sharp, sharp or glass objects be used to create blanks and decorate crafts. The use of toxic paints or varnishes is also unacceptable.
Easy solution
The easiest and fastest way to make a craft for a child, a fairy crown, is considered her invention from cardboard. But it is only better to take not plain cardboard, but a special, metallized one, which will not need to be additionally painted. Moreover, with such a material, all colors are very saturated and shiny, and it is not always possible to achieve a similar result by coloring other similar blanks.
Consider how the princess’s crown is made of cardboard of a similar pattern, in stages:
- On a sheet of cardboard of golden color on the inside, draw a crown in expanded form. The number of teeth should be no more than 5-7 pcs. They should be as sharp as possible and not exceed 10 cm in height. The length of the unfolded crown can range from 10 to 15 cm.
- Cut the image of the craft and collapse, connect the joints with glue or pieces of adhesive tape, but only do this so that there are no gaps between the edges.
- For homemade decor, you need to prepare stickers with stones of various shapes, as well as sparkles and pieces of chopped multi-colored rain.
- Before decorating the product, it is necessary to slightly bend the teeth of the crown. To do this, it is best to use a pencil, which, pressing with your fingers, you need to attach to the edge of each clove and, having wound it, gently pull it.
- All edges of the finished product should be smeared with glue with a brush, and then covered with sparkles and chopped rain.
- Stick stickers with pebbles in a chaotic manner.
Plastic miracle
Do-it-yourself crown for a princess can be made from a simple plastic bottle. The size of future crafts can be adjusted by using bottles of various volumes. An example of the manufacture of one of the types of such an accessory will be considered below.
- Take a straight plastic bottle of a suitable size and depict the crown in a circle in its center. Draw the number of teeth and the distance between them so that the product looks harmonious.
- Cut the pattern very carefully so as not to damage the material. Thus, we got a workpiece that does not need to be glued.
- Next, you need to paint homemade gold paint on both sides.
- After the paint has dried, proceed to the decor of the product, for which use stickers with pebbles and small pearl beads.
To do such a thing, you don’t even need a crown template for a princess, which often has to be done in similar cases. Also, its complete production requires very little time and effort, so each child can independently make such a miracle and go to the ball in it.
