Pipecleaner Crown


Princesses are a very big deal in our house, at the moment. Grace lives in her very own fairy tale where her daddy is the Prince and Riley is the witch {poor Riley}. Grace, of course, has cast herself as a princess.

So what does every princess need besides for a fairy Godmother or two...


A crown, of course.


Using these tinsel pipe cleaners from Hobby Lobby, Grace and I crafted our {her} own crown.


I started by twisting 2 of the pipe cleaners together, making a halo shape, for the base of the crown.


Then, by twisting and bending the pipe cleaners, the crown started to take shape. I used 8 pipe cleaners, cutting some of them to fill in and give structure to the sides and middle of the crown.


The finishing touch...jewels.


Grace happily glued some pink and blue 'sapphires' to her crown.


I think it's a crown truly fit for a princess.


The fairy tale continues. Do you think by default I get cast as the evil queen?

    That is so cute, Amy! Too bad we couldn't get our girls together right now. We are knee deep in princess and related figures right now. I think I just stepped on the same Merryweather fairy yesterday that you have in this post. :) Megan

    PS the only figure I'm allowed to play with is the Stepmother from Cinderella. I am wondering if there is any correlation there. :)

    Oh that's gorgeous! Indeed a crown fit for a princess!

    Evil queen? I doubt it! Maybe a lady in waiting.

    That is adorable. And maybe I'm in the minority here, but I'd love to be the evil queen. I'm nice to people all day long but if I'm the evil queen they'll have to do what I say... 'cause, you know, I'm evil. :)

    You are so creative! this is beautiful. Evil queens are normally beautiful too, and very interesting, so don't worry if it should happen :-)

    Riley always has to be the bad guy. But better to have the canine cast in that roll than the mom.
