Flower Crown
You’ll need:
- Boning (such as this by Dritz–the stiff but flexible stuff one would sew into a corset)
- Floral tape (this is a bit stretchy and sticky, which works perfectly)
- Assorted cloth ribbons–a variety of satin and sheer is best–between 1/4″ and 1/2″ wide
- Fabric glue or other adhesive
- For the flower versions: a variety of silk flowers and needle and thread
1 – Cut a slit through the center of the paper plate, leaving about an inch at the edges of the plate. Cut three more slits.
2 – Bend the triangles formed by the cuts upwards, forming leaf-like shapes. Paint the crown light green (or use markers or crayons to color it). Let the paint dry.
3 – Cut out some construction paper or tissue paper flowers for your hat. Any shapes will do – let your imagination run wild and invent your own flowers.
4 – Glue flowers to the crown. Optional: Decorate it with glitter and/or staple two long ribbons of crepe paper to your beautiful hat.
