DIY Toilet Paper Roll Washi Crown

A few months ago, I asked if I could be evicted from blogging.  One of my many offenses that I worried might cause my eviction, never having used washi tape to make a craft.

Thanks to Craft and Creativity, I can now say I have (finally) created a fun and easy craft using washi tape.

You can find the detailed tutorial at Craft and Creativity, just grab the following supplies and head on over there.

This crown was so easy, Grace was able to do most of it herself.

Of course, when it came time to getting a picture of her wearing her new crown, she was uninterested.  So, I sought out the other princess in our house.

Suddenly, the having her picture taken in the crown became important to Grace.

And, then I spent all weekend trying to get her to take it off!

Toilet paper roll tiaras, the newest must have accessory.

Wildflower Crown

Amid days of endless rain and even a few snowflakes, spring has made a brief appearance.  One of our favorite spring past times is making wildflower crowns.

The best part of making this crown is gathering the supplies.  

Take the weeping willow branches and begin to wind them into a crown shape.  Twist and wind each additional weeping willow branch to help maintain and secure the shape.

When your crown is complete, adorn it with wildflowers.

Then crown a wildflower princess.

I hope spring sticks around a little while longer, I think I want to make a wildflower crown for myself, too!

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?
