paper crowns {tutorial}
A party hat is always a festive touch for a child’s birthday party. For Audrey’s fancy/crown/girly party, I made these paper crowns for the guests to wear. They were so simple to make and very cute on the little ones.
Here’s what you’ll need:
:: crown template {download below} printed on metallic gold paper
:: scissors
:: thin elastic {found by the yard in the fabric store}
:: hot glue gun
:: glue dots, glitter, silk flower to embellish
STEP ONE: cut crown from template
STEP TWO: if you’d like to embellish with glitter dots, randomly place glue dots on the front of the crown
STEP THREE: sprinkle fine glitter over dots
STEP FOUR: shake off excess glitter
STEP FIVE: cut elastic to size {approximately 13 inches} and hot glue to back of crown
STEP SIX: add a silk flower with hot glue {if desired}
Just a few simple steps and you get a darling paper crown.
Fun for birthday girls …
… and brothers, alike.
Please feel free to download the crown template below.
If you make these for a party, be sure to send me photos!

You can usually find the elastic either in a package {with other sewing notions} or by the yard. Ask at your local fabric store and they probably have it.

I love those! They are so cute, and perfect for the little people. I do wonder how they work on a bigger size head? Like if wanted to prance around pretending to be a princess…but thats just a completely hypothetical situation.

Ha! I think you could enlarge the template and then just make the elastic a bit longer. Go for it!
