    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.

    1. 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. :)

    2. hands down….. i love everything about your taste!!! it’s so completely classic and cozy combined. you do an amazing job with your home and family :) quick question… where did you find the skinny elastic? i can’t seem to find that size skinny elastic anywhere. thanks for the help!! and sharing your lovely home and fam!
