Make your own Fairy Flower Crowns

Making fairy flower crowns for kids is easier than you’d think. Have a look at what we’ve done!

With my girl in a “fairy phase” and some freshly made paper flowers, what were we to do? Some fairy flower crowns of course! We actually did only one fairy flower crown for now but the idea is to do more on Victoria’s 6th birthday – as a craft session with her friends.

So, we took our paper flowers out and got to business. If you’re not sure how to make paper flowers, check out this tutorial.

This is what you need to make fairy flower crowns:

• A sheet of colored paper
• A stapler
• Optional a foam sheet and elastic – if you’re aiming for long lasting flower crowns

How to make fairy flower crowns
Cut two stripes, about 2-3 cm wide, from your colored paper and glue the paper flowers on one of them. You can have your kid cut the stripes and glue the flowers. The more flowers, the nicer the flower crown will be. Just make sure you leave some space at the beginning and the end of the paper stripe as you’ll need it later to finish the fairy flower crowns.

Now that this masterpiece is done, you should have one long piece of paper with many colorful flowers glued on it. The next step is to connect it to the other stripe of paper and make a circle big enough to fit on your kid’s head …just like a crown would. And that’s it! Your own fairy flower crown is ready!

If you want to go the extra mile …
Now if you want to go a small step further and you have some foam sheets available, you can make the fairy flower crowns a bit more robust.  I went for that and decided to use a foam sheet and a small elastic.

After gluing the paper flowers to the stripe of colored paper, I made a crown from a long and narrow piece of foam sheet and a small piece of elastic (the piece of foam sheet should be at least as big as the paper stripe with flowers). I then stapled the stripe of paper with flowers to the foam sheet. And that’s it, the flower crown is ready!

A you can see, Victoria was not the only one who was excited with her paper flower crown. Elena was also happy to try it out 🙂

This is a super easy crafts activity and looks so pretty! On top, flower crowns like these fit really well with these cardboard fairy wings we did a while ago!
