Princess Crowns

We wanted to make something princessy (they are kinda obssessed) and packable for the girls' visit. They love playing dress-up, so we made crowns fit for princesses.
Dylan used the crown from a fast food place as a template. Then sewed, stuffed, and quilted.
I painted them light gray then stained them with purple (instead of my usual brown).
Added some buttons and a pretty initial in the middle. . .
Voila!
They were a big hit with the nieces. The most fun was had by putting them on Uncle Dylan, magically causing him to run screaming through the house.

  2. You just gave them a wonderful childhood memory, Jo. They will treasure that and the crowns forever. That is the best gift.

  5. What a wonderful pair you are, to have such an aunt and uncle as yourselves must be wonderful, especially if you can do magic...

    Have a lovely time together.
