Felt Princess Tiara

I had a request from a little princess. She wanted a tea party with her friends that included lots of tulle, glitter and of course tiaras!

I didn't want to buy the plastic store bought kind, so I made a felt version. They are super easy to make & in just a few minutes you can create your own.

What you'll need:
Glue gun
Felt squares
Headband
Scissors
Rhinestone crystals

Here we go...
First I made a template by freehand

Using the templates, cut out tiara pieces

Wrap your large felt piece around the headband. Run the glue along the center of the headband and press to hold the felt down. Next match up the two ends of the tiara and add glue to hold it in place. Glue down the rest of the tiara and cut off excess.

Glue down the smaller piece of your crown and add rhinestone crystals. You could leave them blank & let your guests decorate their own special tiara with rhinestones, sequins, ribbon, etc.

She couldn't wait to try on the first finished tiara!

I love how each guest will get her very own and original tiara!

DIY Party Hats

 Party hats are a birthday staple, but ever notice there are not a lot of store-bought options? Even solid colors are hide to find, so I decided to make my own to coordinate our party theme.

What you'll need:
Party hat template
Pen
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Glue (Elmers & hot glue)
Tissue paper
Pom-poms
Thin elastic 
Tape
Utility knife

1. Trace your party hat template on to scrapbook paper (you can search the web if you don't have a template) and cut along the borders.

2. Fold to shape your cone and glue the seam together.

3. Embellish with tissue paper fringe along the bottom edge with glue.

4. Glue a pom-pom to the top.

5. Cut a piece of elastic. Tape each end of the elastic to the inside left and right side of the hat.

Details from our Doc McStuffins party coming soon!

That's it! Your very own customized hats!
