Are you ready for New Year's Eve? Here is a quickie tutorial for a simple crown if you need party favors for guests and don't want to spend much time or money on the project.
But, I have to warn you, they fit people better than dogs….
The ones I made are for kiddos, so I've used a little, vintage tea party plate as the centerpiece of each, but you could embellish your own in what ever you have handy.
To start, I folded a piece of pink card stock in half and laid a "French curve" over it to trace a pattern.
I cut it out, opened it up, and covered it in gold and silver wrapping paper. Then topped it in festive fringe.
It got flipped over, and a couple of ribbons were glued across the back. Make sure you cut them to a length that is good for tying around the head of the person to wear the crown. I left plenty to dangle down too.
To the front of mine, I added a glittery star from the Christmas tree. Since there was a hole meant to hang it from, I slipped a ribbon through that hole, and tied a cake topper ballerina to the star, securing it with glue.
(I use Ultimate)
Of course, you can decorate yours any way you want. Feathers, foof, spangles, sparkles, anything goes for New Year's Eve! I edged mine in silver Stickles glitter to top it off.
While I am away with Sugarwings on our grand adventure, I won't be able to keep up with emails and comments. But I will enjoy reading them…. thanks for visiting!
