What girl, having heard plenty of beautiful fairy tales at night, did not dream at least once to feel like a real princess? Put on an exquisite puffy dress, shiny heeled shoes and decorate your wonderful head with a golden crown. It is unlikely that such a child will be found.

Therefore, the parents, whom God has rewarded with a beautiful daughter, must fulfill such a simple, but significant desire. This can be done both for her birthday and for the New Year, so that she can show off her new outfit at the festive matinee.

Preparation

Dress and shoes, of course, you can buy in any store, but to make the costume truly magical, you need to supplement it with a creative idea. For example, a crown made with your own hands, especially with your daughter, will not only strengthen the family bond, but will also become an interesting activity for a couple of evenings. For the base, you can take paper, plastic or wire, but for decoration, everything can be used: artificial flowers, beads and beads, shiny paint, felt-tip pens and much more.

Variant frompaper

So, the easiest option is a do-it-yourself paper crown. To make it, we measure the circumference of the child's head, add another 1.5-2 cm and set aside the resulting value on the larger side of the drawing paper. Then, if desired, draw the upper edge of the crown.

It can be even, and with alternating high and smaller peaks. We cut out this blank, glue or even sew the free ends to each other and proceed to the decoration. Such a crown, created with your own hands, will turn out best if you use scrapbooking paper and different sizes of rhinestones. For example, we first wrap the entire product with shiny silver or gold paper with a pattern, cutting off the excess in the shape of the workpiece. Then we cut out from another, contrasting, wide strip, which we paste along the bottom edge. On its sides we fasten white, pearl-like rhinestones in a wave-like manner, and between the bends - red ones, of a larger size. Now, so that our do-it-yourself crown does not look empty, in the middle of each of the vertices we glue two-layer hearts with a large rhinestone in the center. If desired, this shape can be replaced with stars, clouds or rhombuses - everything will be up to your imagination. Trying on.

Wire option

A more durable, but more complicated option is a crown, made of wire with your own hands. We will decorate it with beads and beads, preferably shiny and matching in color. To make it, first measure the girththe head of the child and, according to this size, we bend a circle from an ordinary copper wire. We first twist the long free ends together, and then make several turns with an interval of 0.7-1 cm around the axis, cut so that there are still 4-6 cm left, and arbitrarily bend the tip up. Then we take another segment of 15 cm and repeat the same steps with it, stepping back from the last “tail” 1 cm. It is on them that we will hang the beads. And so we do everything anew, until our entire crown, made with our own hands, is filled with these “tails”. It remains only to decorate it, optionally adding ribbons.
