Paper princess tiaras

 

Preschoolers love to decorate things! We have made these pretty tiaras for my daughters’ dress-up games. They love them even more because they made them themselves.

You will need:

• Heavy paper or card
• Glue
• Items to decorate eg: jewel stickers, normal stickers, pom poms & glue, textas, anything!
• Scissors, or a pen knife and cutting mat (obviously only adults should use the pen knife and cutting mat)

How to:

1) Print or trace the tiara and jewel shapes onto paper & then cut them out

2) Cut out and glue the jewel shapes in the right places (where the dotted lines are)

3) Decorate it

4) Cut out the extra band length and staple to the tiara in the right places so it fits the child’s head. If it’s too short, cut extra length of the same width & staple on to fit.Variation: An adult can cut the jewel shapes out from the tiara itself with a cutting mat & knife to make holes .

Clay roses

Here is how to make a cool clay rose in minutes!

Step 1: Get Your Materials

You will need clay of any kind.

Step 2: Petals

Now take little balls of clay and smush them down to create petals. Make at least five.

Step 3: Middle

Now make a slightly larger smush of a ball and roll it up.

Step 4: Cut Bottom

The piece you just created needs to be trimmed , so just take scissors and trim the bottom so that it may stand straight up.

Step 5: Petals

Now wrap the petals around the base.

Step 6: Finally

Now let the rose dry and your all done. Some clays may require being painted.
