DIY cardboard crown
Even a child can make a cardboard crown without the help of adults. To do this, you need to take A4 cardboard. The head circumference is measured with an elastic meter. If necessary, several sheets of cardboard are glued together in a long rectangular shape.
With a pencil on this cardboard, a crown shape is drawn, which can even be of the most unusual shape: with sharp teeth, with turrets, with patterns. After the workpiece is ready, it is cut with scissors. The craft is bent into a circle. Both edges are secured together with a stationery stapler. In order for the crown to hold steadily on the baby's head, you can pierce holes in two places, stretch an elastic band through them. It will be pulled under the chin.
The resulting cardboard crown is decorated with your own hands. Simple beads, sequins, ribbons and rhinestones will also be used. All this is attached with glue. After the glue base dries, the product is safely put on the baby head. It is recommended to sew a royal dress for the little princess. This will undoubtedly bring great joy to the child.
DIY crown made of wire and beads
It will take several hours to create such an elegant crown. But it is not so easy to break or crumple it. With one return movement, the crown shape will return to its original state.
To make a crown with your own hands you will need: beads-cutting of a beautiful golden shade (40 grams), beads of a simple golden shade (5 grams), glass beads of a golden shade (5 grams), a wire with a diameter of 0.3 ml, special for bead weaving, a wire with a diameter of 1 ml, pliers and nippers.
The work begins with a set of beads on a wire. The wire is taken the one that is thicker. The picture shows a crown with a rim slightly larger than the neck of a three-liter glass jar. The diameter of the bezel can be increased if desired.
When the required amount of beads is drawn onto the wire, its ends are twisted.
The next step is to weave the crown petals with your own hands. Used by French technique weaving. On it, a bead-cutter of 15 pieces is strung on a wire segment 70 cm long. A loop is formed on one side of the future petal (as shown in the photo).
After that, beads are strung again and an even larger loop is made. The beads are woven in an arc until the moment comes to twist the wire at the base of the resulting leaf.
At the very top of the petal, the loop unfolds. Beads and bugles are strung on it. The tip of the wire does not need to be cut. It is enough to make a few turns and carefully hide it in the bugles.
According to the described scheme, you need to make five leaves.
After they are made, they are attached to the rim at an equidistant distance. The leaves are fastened together with beads.
So we got a little masterpiece - a crown made of beads and wire with our own hands.

To make a lace crown, you need lace, rhinestones for decoration, foil and glue.

Both ends of the lace are glued together. You should get a bright and charming crown for a girl. Such a craft can be different thickness and width. A crown made of wider lace of the finest weaving looks magical.
DIY felt crown
Making a crown with your own hands from felt is not difficult. It's a pleasure to work with this material. Felt perfectly holds its shape due to its density. It is an environmentally friendly material. Felt does not crumble around the edges, so you don't have to process them.
You just need to cut the desired pattern out of paper and put it on the fabric. It is imperative to measure the circumference of the child's head in advance. Cut out two pieces to pass the elastic inside the garment.
To give beautiful shape along the edges, it is advisable to lay a line on sewing machine... Then you need to insert an elastic band of the required width. The elastic can be pushed in with a ruler. If the head circumference is correctly measured, then the elastic will not stick out from the crown on the child's head. Otherwise it will be ugly. If desired, the elastic can be replaced with satin ribbon, which will be tied behind the head with a bow every time you dress.
The resulting crown is decorated with artificial roses with its own hands. In the photo they are made of felt. It is important to choose a rose flower of pleasant pink and cream shades. To create a flower, oval and round shapes are cut out, which are then formed into a bud. They can be sewn with threads and attached to a felt crown.
