DIY Patriotic Princess Crowns

My little princesses love dressing up so for the 4th of July this year we did a Patriotic Princess photo shoot and made our own crowns to wear. 

These DIY princess crowns are made in minutes with garland and ribbon and are a fun craft to make this summer!

What you need:

• curling ribbon in red, white, and blue
• star garland, printed or multiple colors like blue, silver, and red
• wire cutters
• scissors

Directions:

1. Start by wrapping garland around your princess’ head to make it the correct size.
2. Twist the end of the garland to form a circle crown.
3. I continue to wrap garland 3 more times to make it thicker and sturdier.
4. Cut the garland with wire cutters, being sure to tightly wrap the end pieces so they do not poke out.
5. Since I used multiple colors of garland, I then wrapped a circle of blue and a circle of red into the crown.
6. Next, knot 6-9 strands of multiple colors of ribbon to the back and use scissors to curl the ends.
7. Optional: Ava added a clip on princess bow to the back of hers. 

All you need for these pretty crowns are wire star garland and ribbon! Anyone can make them!
