Birthday Crown

Y'all, things have been cray around here.  We just wrapped up our fall consignment sale, which was super awesome, but I'm glad it's over. :)  I've got lots more stuff that I'm really excited to share with you!  More on that in a few days.

Today, I'm sharing the Birthday Crown I made for E's first birthday.

So fun!  I started out with a piece of hot pink glitter cardstock that I cut into a crown shape.  Then I trimmed it with shiny purple ric rac and rhinestones.  I added ribbon spikes with rhinestones, a crepe paper medallion, a purple polka dot paper medallion, a scalloped circle and chipboard "1".

If you don't know how to make your own medallions, they are super easy!  Here's how:

Cut a long piece of crepe paper streamer and accordion fold it.

Then glue the two ends together.

Set it on a flat surface with the front side down.

Now push the middle down flat so the tube fans out into a flat medallion.

Glue a circle of paper to the back to keep it all in place.

And your medallion is ready to go!

 I used one on her hat and also made a garland, which you can see with the rest of the party decorations here.
