Felt Princess {Birthday} Crown Tutorial

Photobucket


...Supplies...
1 Pattern {see below}
Felt {2 Colors for the crown + additional colors for embellishments}
Fabric Pen
Pinking Shears
Hot Glue
Gems

Print Pattern. Match pieces A + B. Use extra band piece if you need to make the pattern for larger head. The pattern fits a 3/4 year old. Measure you child's head or just wrap the pattern around the head. There should be a few inches overlapping.

Trace your pattern onto the inner piece of felt. Preferably use fabric pen...but if you are like me and don't have one and impatient you can just use a sharpie!!

With 2 pieces of felt pinned together sew around the entire crown inside the line. If you used a sharpie give yourself about 1/4 inch inside the line. Then take your pinking shears and cut around the crown outside where you sewed.
