Newspaper Birthday Crown

I made a birthday crown for my kid's 3rd birthday & it looked so amazing on his head during his birthday party. I made it 'red' to match his Red Birthday Shirt.

I saved some ceiling decors from his 2nd birthday which I used for this birthday crown. Also, his birthday party theme was from PBS kids. So I used some stickers related to the theme.

What you'll Need

Newspaper - 1 sheet (4 pages)
Stapler
Cello-tape
Ribbon (I saved the one I got with a blanket )
Glue
Cut outs / Photos / Feathers / Stickers / Sequins - To decorate

How to make

  1. Open the newspaper and start rolling from one corner (diagonally)
  2. Adjust the height of the crown while rolling (let the crown be of smaller height for kids and more for adults)
  3. Place the crown around the head to know the size of the crown and staple the edges. If required, put some cello-tape over the staple to avoid hurting the head.
  4. Wind the ribbon all - around the crown overlapping, so that the newspaper is not visible anywhere. 
  5. Glue the edges of the ribbon to the newspaper at the back side of the crown.
  6. Decorate however you want.
  7. Newspaper birthday crown is ready for the party.



Note
  1. These crowns are so easy to make that they can be made for all the kids at the party with specific colors and designs for boys and girls to match the theme.
  2. These crowns can also be made for Christmas parties, New year parties or any family get-together (at-least for the kids)
