Snow queens, princesses and snowflakes have always been popular. But after the release of the animated film Frozen, the beautiful ice ladies are simply in trend. Both small and large girls like to be mistresses of frost and blizzards. Of course, demand creates supply, and buying a crown for such a costume is not difficult. But such crowns are either very primitively made, or will cost a lot. But the crown of the snow queen with her own hands is not at all difficult, you can save a lot and get your own unique jewelry.
Simple and budget
The simplest crown for the snow queen with their own hands is made from a minimal set of materials.
You will need:
- Ready-made plastic snowflakes, abundantly covered with sparkles (there are many of them in stores before the New Year , and after the holiday they can be bought for a penny at sales).
- A strip of white fabric measuring approximately 60 x 8 cm.
- Elastic band 2 cm wide, about 60 cm long.
- Scissors.
- White threads.
- Sewing machine (can be sewn by hand).
- Glue gun or transparent glue for needlework.
The work must be neat, so you may need a three- or two-liter jar (depending on which crown is large or small). It will be convenient to put on a piece of jewelry and work calmly with a needle or glue.
To begin, attach an elastic band to the head so that it fits tightly, but does not cause discomfort. Cut the required amount. Then measure the circumference of the head and make a strip of fabric of the desired length. Sew it into a tube so large that the elastic fits exactly inside it. Do not make a common mistake and do not cut the fabric as much, as much as elastic, because it will stretch. Glue the snowflakes around the circumference, taking into account the future tension of the fabric.
Based on the "Frozen"
For little girls, a cardboard craft in the style of a cartoon sorceress Elsa is suitable. To do it, use this master class. Do-it-yourself snow queen's crown is made from inexpensive materials that are easy to find without even leaving your home.
You will need:
- Plastic comb from hair clips.
- A sheet of thick cardboard about 20 x 20 cm in size (even a dense box of cereals will do).
- Scissors.
- Pencil.
- Golden acrylic paint.
- The pebble is turquoise with one flat side.
This crown for the costume of the snow queen is done like this: we fold the cardboard in half and draw the outline of the crown.
Look at the pictures from the cartoon, note that the base of the crown is the central sharp ledge, and three curls depart from it. Repeating the form is not difficult, but if it does not work out at all, print out the picture of the crown and draw it. Add 1 cm to the bottom for attachment to the scallop and cut carefully.
In the center of Elsa's crown is a notch and turquoise pebble. Make this cutout, but remember to leave cardboard to stick the bead. Paint with golden paint, glue the pebbles. Slightly take the crown so that it takes a rounded shape and glue the scallop.

By a similar principle, the crown of the snow queen with their own hands can be made of cardboard, glue and sequin for manicure.
In order for it to acquire functionality, you need to glue a strip of cardboard inside, buy a white or shiny hair band and stick this crown to it.
Well, and another more complex variation of cardboard, sequin, bezel and brooch.
Crown of sparkling icicles
An older girl will need a more elegant crown of the snow queen. With your own hands, it is also easy to make it.
For manufacturing you will need:
- 70 cm stiff wire.
- 5 m very thin wire.
- Oval beads.
- Teardrop beads.
- Sandpaper.
- Colorless varnish.
- Nippers
- Elastic band 20 cm.
A large crown for the snow queen with her own hands takes longer than children's cardboard counterparts, but she will calmly survive more than one carnival or photo shoot.
First you need to prepare the base of the crown. To do this, cut the required amount of wire around the circumference of your head, leaving 2 cm of reserve on each side. Bend the ends in a loop and treat with sandpaper and colorless varnish so that they do not scratch the skin and do not cling to the hair. The crown can be left in this form and fixed in the hairstyle with hairpins, or you can thread the elastic into loops and securely fix it on your head.
Then, a couple of turns, we fix a thin wire on the base and begin to make an imitation of icicles. To do this, string 10 beads, a drop-shaped and another oval. Pass the wire back through 11 beads, except for the topmost one. It turns out a small bead icicle. Similarly, we do the rest, but of different lengths. To keep the icicles even, you will need to twist them horizontally with each other. It turns out sparkling, like ice, the crown of the snow queen. With your own hands, you can make earrings or a bracelet suitable for the costume from the remains of materials.
