How to Create a Fabric Birthday Crown

 Materials:

- 2 different types of material (I had 1/3 of a yard cut, but I am making more than one)

-  8.5" x 11" Felt (x2)

- Thread 

- Any other matching accessories (ribbon, feathers, flowers etc.)

Step 1

Make a crown template by taping two pieces of computer paper together and cut your crown out.  My crown measured 18" across with tallest point measuring 6.5" and the smaller points measuring 4".

Step 2

Sew two pieces of felt together on one end. Then pin the crown template to the felt and cut out.  Next pin the crown template to the fabric and cut out.

Step 3

Pin the fabric (right side showing) to the felt.  Sew along the outer edge of the entire crown

Step 4

Complete the crown with elastic sewn onto the back of each end of material.  The length will depend on the size of head wearing the crown.

Accents:

I cut a long thin piece of the pink material and gathered it and sewed it on the bottom of the crown.  I then hot glued some silver ribbon on top of the pink.  I also cut a 7 out of felt and sewed it on the middle of the crown.  I added rhinestones with hot glue.  I also added a felt flower and a white feather for a little extra flare :)

Finished Birthday Crown

This finished crown was for one of my dance students that was having a dance birthday party here at my studio. This will complete her ballerina princess outfit for a day full of dancing with her friends!
