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.
This is the front of my crown
Hot glue some strips of velcro to the ends
Time to embellish!!
Cut out circles of various sizes and colors
Make flowers of varying shapes and sizes
Hot glue flowers to crown. Done!! If you are like me...repeat 9 more times to get ready for a Pinkalicious party!! :)
