queen for a day

I made this crown to celebrate my cat's "birthday". silly, I know, but fun nonetheless.


to make this crown, trace and cut out a crown pattern out of blue cardstock. lay the paper on top of a coppery colored cardstock and trace the crown pattern again, but leaving a 1/4 inchish border along the top and bottom. cut out a strip of white cardstock with scalloped craft scissors. cut a piece of maroon bazzill to fit inside the white paper. glue everything together as shown. after the glue dries, form the paper into a circle and attach the ends together. (if you have a really strong glue it might work, but I used staples.) cut out letters using a cricut or diecuts to spell the name. glue to the front of the crown. cut an elastic hair thing and staple ends to the inside of the crown so it will stay on your cat or doll's head.
