DIY Princess Crowns

DIY Princess Glitter Crown
What you need
- 12" x 12" sheet of Glitter Paper
- Crepe Paper
- Ribbon
- Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Hole Punch
- Optional: Fancy craft store hole punch, glitter numbers or letters, pre-made glitter stars
Directions
- Download and print the free Princess Glitter Crown template on 8.5" x 11" paper. Trace the template onto the white back side of glitter paper, extending the sides as shown. You will get 2 crowns per sheet.
- Create the pinwheel: Take crepe paper and fold it into 1" wide folds back and forth like a fan until you have about 2" thick accordion. Cut off the excess paper.
- Bring the pinwheel ends together and glue them together.
- Hot glue the pinwheel to the middle of the crown. The middle should still be loose - this is normal.
- Optional: Add decorative elements like fancy hole punch designs, glitter stars, or glitter numbers/letters to the center of the crown.
- Hole punch both ends of the crown, making sure holes are not too close to the edges.
- String ribbon through the holes and hot glue the ribbon ends together instead of tying a knot for a more secure and polished look.
