DIY Mini Crowns

DIY Mini Crowns


I first stumbled upon toilet paper roll crowns on Lilla as blog and immediately became smitten. So easy, so clever, so tiny, so cute. I thought Id put my own spin on them and dress them up a bit with things I had laying around my house.


These are so fun and quick to make. They make cute photography props, party favors, decorations, and little crowns for dolls. 


What youll need:
Toilet paper rolls
Scrap felt, fabric, or paper (surprise, surprise - I used felt for mine)
Scissors
Elastic cord
Glue (if youre using fabric or felt, make sure your glue adheres accordingly)
Scraps of trim (ribbon, pom poms, ric rac, etc)


Getting Started:

Cut our your felt (or fabric or paper) to 4" x 6" pieces - one piece for each crown you plan to make.


Glue over the entire piece of felt (fabric or paper) getting pretty close to the edges.


Roll your felt (fabric or paper) around the toilet paper roll. Wait for it to dry completely.


When the covered rolls are dry, cut your crown points from the top. I just free handed these. They are uneven and totally imperfect - I pretend it adds that whimsical touch.


Glue on your trim however you like and wait for it to dry.


Poke little holes in either side of the crown towards the bottom and thread your cord through. I used the pointy end of my small scissors to poke my holes. 


Thats it. Super easy.  Im so taken by these I think Ill create a whole little collection. Maybe I can convince the fam to wear them at our next Tuesday dinner or holiday party?
