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!
May I ask what is the brand of glitter that you used on your crowns?
Love this, particularly liked having girls & boys in there :-) ! Thanks.
Love your style and your blog, Em. :) Such a cute idea with the flower.
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!
Birthday Party planning is so much FUN! What an adorable little touch for a special Birthday Girl :)
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!
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.
