2. Trace the template onto the paper/cardboard and cut out the crown in a jagged shape.
3. Stick colorful rhinestones on the children's crown and decorate as desired.
4. To secure the princess crown, pin both ends of the paper with a clip.

Simple crown made from pipe cleaners
Are you looking for oneLast minute idea for carnival, then you can make a simple princess crown out of pipe cleaners. Since the pipe cleaners are made of wire, they can be shaped quickly and easily. And all without the use of glue or staples.
All you need for this princess crown are a few pipe cleaners of any color and a pair of scissors. First, twist 2-3 pipe cleaners together to create the headband for the tiara. If it is a real crown, you should bend the pipe cleaners into a circle so that it fits on the child's head. Once the shape is ready, you can now decorate the children's crown. For the classic jagged shape, bend all pipe cleaners into a triangle shape by making a small loop at the top and then attach the triangles to the already finished base. Instead of loops, you can decorate the tips of the crown with pompoms.
You can also make the crown for your princess a little smaller and then attach it to a headband. This way it stands firmly on its head and there is no risk of it falling during the fun birthday orCarnival gamesfalls down.
Made from felt: great ideas without sewing
You can also make a pretty princess crown out of craft felt. We have provided two wonderful ideas from this material for you. Neither requires a sewing machine or experience with a needle and thread. For the first one you need a headband in a matching color as additional material. In this case it is more of a princess tiara than a crown. For this you need felt in two different (but matching) colors, the headband, hot glue gun and some rhinestones for decoration.
First cut out the base for the crown/tiara from the darker felt. You can see what the cut piece should look like in the picture above. If you leave one side a little larger, you can cut out the excess felt later so that the crown ultimately looks the same from both sides. Finally, glue everything together and decorate the small piece of felt with a few sparkling stones. Complete!
Here you will find another great craft idea for the princess crown made of felt. It is made only from felt and elastic cord and is therefore perfect for toddlers and babies as it is very soft. First, draw a simple crown template like this one in the picture and cut out two identical pieces of felt using the template.
Now glue both pieces of felt together with the rubber strand in between. This creates an elastic hair band that is comfortable even for the little ones. You can decorate the handmade crown as you wish and adapt it to the costume.
We wish you lots of fun and good luck!
