Making a Paper Tiara

Decorated Paper Tiara

A simple-to-make paper tiara decorated with cut out heart, gemstones, and punched holes, but all sorts of other decorations would look equally good, especially glitter.

Approximate Time: 25 minutes

Supplies:

• light and dark pink medium-weight cardstock
• 1/16 inch hole punch
• gemstones
• scissors
• glue pen
• glue stick
• pencil

Instructions:

Draw your tiara on medium to heavy-weight cardstock.

1. Cut out with scissors.
2. Use a hole punch to make holes around the curves and along the center of the tiara band.
3. Cut a heart shape from dark pink card. Attach to the top of the crown with a glue stick.
4. Using glue pen, adhere gemstones on the central panel of the tiara.
5. Place the tiara around the child's head and mark where the ends overlap. Glue or tape the ends of the tiara together.
