Children of kindergarten and primary school age are happy to participate in festive matinees. And they love to dress up in costumes of princesses and princes. One of the main details of the dress is the crown.

Samples of the royal headdress

What should your paper crown look like? It all depends on personal imagination and skill. The simplest option is the classic, jagged. It will be more interesting if the teeth are crowned with bumps, circles. A crown made of paper in the form of a hoop and jewelry on the forehead looks different. It is worth remembering those headdresses that made up the national outfit of a Russian girl in ancient times. Having chosen a style, it is worth thinking about the external design. First of all, golden or silver paper will come to the rescue. In this case, a crown is made from paper of a cardboard sample and then pasted over. Glue beads, fragments of Christmas tree rain and confetti on a shiny background, laying out the accessories with intricate patterns that imitate precious stones.

If you have taffeta, pieces of lurex or brocade, youyou can wrap them around a cardboard blank. The one on the fabric of which has its own patterns will look especially successful. In this case, all you have to do is embroider them with beads, make pendants for your forehead and temples - and an ordinary paper crown will turn into a chic decoration for a fairy-tale princess. Depending on the nature and type of costume, a cape is attached to it or it is put on a cap. And finally, such a proposal. Find a flexible wire from which to make a suitable layout, then wrap it with a sparkling Christmas tree rain - thick, wide. Such a headdress can be called universal, it will perfectly suit any costume.

Your own master

And now from theory to practice. Let's make a crown stencil out of regular, classic paper. Take a piece of drawing paper, a simple pencil, an eraser, scissors, a centimeter. Measure the diameter of the head. Divide by 2. On whatman paper, set aside 2 segments equal in size to halves of the size. Add a few more centimeters to the ends - for gluing.

Measure the width of the base of the crown and take another measurement for the height. Using triangles or a ruler, draw teeth. Try to make them the same size. When one blank is ready, carefully cut it out. Attach the stencil to the second piece of the princess paper crown. Circle and cut out. Connect the halves with tailor's pins and let the person for whom the dress is intended to try it on. Please correct if something is wrong. When make surethe stencil is good, take the cardboard, apply the halves of the crown and do it “clean”. You can either glue the finished parts or connect them with a stapler. But first, cover them with fancy wrapping paper. To prevent the finished crown from pressing on the forehead, glue a strip of batting or other soft fabric folded in several layers from the inside. Then get on with the decorations. As a design, the use of pieces of faux fur will be original. They edge the base of the dress from the outside. With this finish, the crown will take on a truly regal look.

It's quite easy to make the most important part of the costume with your own hands.
