Although we do not live in the tsarist era, sometimes we want to plunge into this historical atmosphere. And the appropriate outfits and attributes will help us with this. And of course a suitable event. For example, it could be just a game or a children's party. You can also arrange a themed photo shoot or party. In general, I think you will find a purpose. Therefore, choose the master class with the crown you like below and proceed to the most interesting thing - the creative process!

Craft template

The finished crown can be of absolutely any shape, size and made from any suitable material. Before printing and using the template, you need to adjust it to the desired size.

How to find out the size of the finished crown? Measure the circumference of the child's head - this will be the size of the product. When preparing the template, leave 1-1.5 cm for gluing the crown. You can edit the template to size in any photo editor.

Accessory made of wire and beads

You should take care of the frame. To do this, you will need a wire from which to form a circle according to the size of the child’s head. 5 elements no larger than 12 cm in size are prepared from the same material. Each piece must be folded in half and then secured to a hoop made of wire. Coat all elements with a glue gun.

The beads will be attached to this base. They are selected so that the tones match. A bead or stone is threaded onto the wire and then carefully twisted. The luxurious decoration is completed with beads through which a wire is threaded. Then the resulting elements are wrapped around the workpiece.

A crown made of soft wire can be complemented with various elements:

• pom-poms;
• snowflakes;
• asterisks;
• beads;
• other decor.

It all depends on what event and what dress it is created for. Products are decorated with flowers and other plant elements. There are no limits to the imagination of masters.

Paper crown for princess

A paper crown decorated with sequins looks very interesting. To bring your idea to life, you will need yellow or gold paper, scissors, glue and large sequins. This is the simplest version of the crown and is quite easy to make:

The first step is to prepare a template. You can either find the blank on the Internet or draw it yourself.

The resulting template must be attached to a sheet of colored paper, circled and cut out. Having adjusted it to the circumference of the child’s head, the product must be glued and wait for the glue to dry completely.

Why use a crown template?

Even the most primitive option, which does not involve additional decoration, will be an excellent way to spend leisure time. To adults, homemade decoration seems ridiculous, but in the eyes of a child, everything looks different. Crowns made of foamiran or any other paper material are used during games and holidays. Sometimes such decorations are made in order to highlight a particular child (for example, a birthday boy) or, conversely, to emphasize the uniqueness of each member of the group.

Children are taught to work with special scissors (not sharp) from the age of 3; older children already know how to follow a contour, wrap paper, use a pencil and ruler. Even when using a crown stencil, this activity has a positive effect on the child's development:

• If a sketch is created in advance, fine motor skills, speech (when discussed with a parent), accuracy, and coordination improve.
• During such a lesson, they simultaneously study geometric shapes and primary colors, reciting these points.
• Imagination and imaginative thinking develop as the child creates a unique craft.
• Experience with glue, scissors, paper and brushes has a positive effect on the further development of these skills; they will definitely be needed at school.
• Children always enjoy the opportunity to create something with their own hands, so their mood improves.

Typically, for such crafts, not only a crown template is used, but also felt-tip pens, pencils, scissors, glue, elements for decoration, as well as paper or cardboard as the main material.

"Fur" crown

A real royal crown with fur trim can be made from cardboard and cotton wool.

Prepare for work: thick cardboard, cotton wool, paint, glue, scissors, decorative elements. So, first, let's cut out a template from plain paper and transfer it to cardboard.

Next, you need to cut out the blank and glue it. We will make a fur trim along the bottom of the product. To do this, draw a straight line around the circumference, spread with glue and cover with cotton wool.

Cotton wool can be painted with any color. Instead of cotton wool, you can use a strip of faux fur. To decorate the product, you can use any material - beads, colored rhinestones, sequins, cotton balls, and so on.

Antique model

A crown of vertical sharp triangles on a common hoop first appeared in Ancient Rome and was called radiant. The emperors who wore it identified themselves with the sun god Helios, being considered his direct heirs on earth. The radiant crowns seemed to confirm these claims. During the era of the late Roman Empire, in 274, the ruler Aurelian introduced the cult of a new, more militant deity Sol Invictus - the Invincible Sun. In honor of him, he wore a crown with long teeth that diverged to the sides, even more reminiscent of the rays of the daylight.

Much later, already in the 19th century in France, a similar dress became a symbol of the Goddess of Liberty, copied from the Roman Juno. She was depicted in particular on the Great State Seal and represented a young woman in a Greek chiton with a radiant crown on her head. The image inspired the sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi to create a giant statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World,” which was installed in New York Harbor and became the “hallmark” and the most recognizable landmark of the United States.

Even in the early Middle Ages, when heraldic shields began to be used, the radiant crown was called antique, indicating that its owner belonged to the Roman family. Knowing the glorious history of royal jewelry, making it will be even more interesting. The crown consists of triangular modules, which are made up of squares 30x30 (or 21x21) cm. Their number depends on the size of the child’s head and usually varies from 6 to 8.

It is better to take paper with a print; there are two types. An origami crown made from it will look more impressive than from simple metallized sheets.

You will also need:

• rhinestones of different shapes, colors and sizes;
• ruler;
• scissors, heat gun.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Place the first square face down on the table. We bend it in half widthwise and then open it.
2. Fold in the same way in the other direction, making a notch.
3. We bring the upper corners to the center line.

1. Add the remaining squares in the same way.

1. We bend the lower part of each module to the horizontal axis.

1. Let's make a second turn.

1. We bend each module so that the right and left parts are at right angles.

1. You can make 2 parts with different patterns.

1. We take 2 modules.

1. We place it with the front side facing us.

1. We open one down, wind the second to the middle and close it back.

1. Gluing the modules together.

1. We continue until we get the required amount and close the circle.

All that remains is to decorate the origami paper crown with rhinestones, sequins, cord or other decorative elements. Children will be happy to assemble it with their own hands, the main thing is to help them work with hot glue.

Elsa's Crown

Many girls are fans of the cartoon “Frozen” and each would like to be like one of the heroines. Please your daughter and make an Elsa crown with her, especially since it is not at all difficult to make.

What can a crown be made from? Prepare silver cardboard, glass beads of a similar shade, thin gray satin ribbon, scissors, glue, and blue pebbles for decoration.

Prepare a strip of cardboard 3-4 centimeters wide and a length equal to the circumference of your head. Tie pieces of satin ribbon to the ends of the strip.

Using the template, cut out the front of the product and glue it to the strip. Next you need to decorate the product. Use glass beads and blue stones or rhinestones for this. This is the simplest option for making a crown for the heroine of an animated film.

3. Fill the gaps that were created when gluing the circles together with diamonds. This is the second row of the crown. Repeat alternating until you achieve the required height and width of the product. (Step 2)
4. A snowflake completes the look of the crown. To do this, we glue together multi-colored circles and diamonds. We fix the snowflake in the center of the product.

• We assemble three rows in this way, each of which consists of 30 modules. We close in a circle.
• We put on the fourth and fifth row modules in the same way.

We take the workpiece, gently press the center with our thumbs, turning the product inside out.

We bend the edges up.

• We put on the sixth row, arranging the modules in a checkerboard pattern.
• In the seventh layer we make wings: put on 12 modules, skip two corners, attach 12 more. On the missing narrow section there will be a neck, and on the remaining wide section there will be a tail.

• In the next row we reduce the wing by one module.
• Similarly, reduce each row until one triangle remains.

• We make the tail according to the principle of decreasing by one module in each new layer.
• We make the neck and head 10 white and 1 red module, on which you need to glue the corners so that the beak is not forked. The neck is assembled like this: we insert the corners of one into the pockets of the other module.

• So we collect the rest, arching our necks.

Paper selection criteria

Not every sheet of paper is suitable for assembly

You need to pay attention to strength and density so as not to tear the figure with a careless movement. You should also not use thick paper - it is not so convenient to fold, this can be a problem for beginners

The selected sheet should hold the folds made and remember them. Therefore, beginners are not recommended to work with napkins - they do not hold their shape well, crumble, and lines are hard to see.

What you can use:

• white office;
• color office;
• sticky notes;
• special sheets for origami;
• wrapping paper for gifts.

Professionals use special paper - kami. It can be found in the creativity departments.

During training, if you feel sorry for wasting good sheets, you can arm yourself with newspapers, pages from magazines or pages from old books.
