Royal Paper Crown

10-22-2015 -- This was an art project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 2: Letter of the Week) homeschool curriculum for the "k" sound as in "king", she is going to make a "king's crown".

I search for some king's crown craft for kids and found this "Royal Paper Crown" craft from firstpalette.com. These are King & Queen crowns and they have 3 kinds of crown template patterns: blank, color page and colored. I printed the blank templates so Lauren can work on decorating the crowns herself. She made 2 kinds of king's crown: the cross design and the simple and basic zig zag one (as you can see the finished crowns she has done in the picture above). Lauren cut the basic zig zag template and I cut the intricate cross design template myself. 


I can't find any gold poster color so I just mix yellow with small amounts of brown and white to make the color look somewhat golden.


Once the templates were dry, Lauren spread gold glitter glue on the painted crowns to make them appear shiny and sparkling. The  gold glitter glue didn't really do the job of an actual gold paint but it helps that they can add a bit of glitter and spark to the plain golden color of a crown.


This is definitely a fun crown craft for kids to make, it's also great to use for pretend plays or even as part of a royal costume for a costume party or dressing up as royalty on halloween.
