How to Make

1. Using tinsel: Cut the long pieces of floral wire so they fit an adult or a child. Bend the wire into shape, wrap the ends and glue them together. Now glue a layer of your favorite tinsel garland on top. Next, make some triangles of different sizes out of the smaller pieces and glue them into place.
2. Using plastic headbands: Prepare some V-shapes or stars out of pipe cleaners. To make the stars easier, you can use a template. When done, wrap the ends of the V-shaped pipe cleaners around the headband or use some extra matching pipe cleaner to secure the stars into place. Now, wrap the headband from prong to prong with your pipe cleaner.

You can decorate the crowns or leave as they are, since they are great even without extra décor. Glue the décor on or use pipe cleaner/tinsel to secure it, depending on what you want to use.

Make an abundance of crowns of different colors, shapes and decorations and display them properly to add both to the décor of your festive house and to give your guests a great variaty to choose from. That way, they can choose a crown that matches their personality and festive clothing if they like to!
