Easy kid’s crown

dog lick

While this dog is no respecter of persons when it comes to licking a face, she knows where she will find the best tasting face. There may have been Oreo cookie crumbs, chicken noodle soup juice or even a hint of bacon fat on that face, a dog’s bounty.

christmas crafts crown

We decided to make the kids in our family their very own personal crown. To do this you’ll need felt and elastic, some sparkly things (or not, sparkle is completely optional). First design your crown on paper then, using your pattern, cut two pieces of felt in the shape of your crown.

Sew these together (two for added stability). At the back you’ll add a piece of elastic and if you want to get fancy, you can cover the elastic with pretty fabric.

Glue on some sparkle, an initial or even add some felt flowers or designs. Milo informed me he wanted a shark on his crown. The shark king. Whatever floats your boat.

I’ll be the Carmex queen.

What are you the queen of?

    I am the queen of the kitchen. my minivan. coffee.

    not a very exciting or lavish kingdom, eh?

    nope. still digging around. i found a place in disqus that said you could
    add this code to the css and have numbered comments, but either i don’t know
    what i’m doing or it isn’t going to work.

    You are way too clever. :-)

    I’m the queen of my domain? or maybe Moe’s (it’s Wednesday kids-eat-free day, so I’m already thinking ahead…)
