DIY Prince / Princess Party Crown

So your little Prince / Princess is having a birthday party, then isn't a lovely little Golden Crown a must have?

Don't fret over spending over plastic Crowns or Headbands... Do it Yourself! 

Here's how:

1) Gather the following supplies:

2) Cut a 20 inch x 2 inch strip of card stock paper (chart paper). Join the ends (a 1 cm overlap) using a stapler. Cut 3 triangular pieces measuring around 3 inch long. Stick crystal stickers in the front (as many as you like).

4) Now apply glue on the strip (evenly all along using a brush) & gently dust it with glitter. Similarly, cover the three triangles in golden dust. 

5) Now staple the three triangles gently on the back side of glitter covered front. Apply a very thin line of glue on the staple pins & cover them with dust too (so that they are not visible). Instead of stapling you can glue them, but it just takes long time to dry & can get messy at times....

And Viola!... Use it for Birthday Party, Fancy Dress, Games or just let her be your Princess, everyday! 

Kimono, Cherry Blossoms & Surprises!

So this was the little surprise! My daughter's Fancy Dress competition at school... for which (again surprisingly) I managed to design & make a perfect Kimono! Wow... I had earlier attempted making a dress for her... seemed more like a pull string bag! Yup, now it does serve the purpose too! lol... so Kimono was still a decent outcome...

I shared the Japanese Cherry blossoms last night... hmm, again a surprise for me because I made it - finally!

But the biggest surprise (read SHOCK!) I got was my daughter falling ill,just after I finished blogging about the surprise! The famous / infamous ear pain shockingly surprised us & of course, ruined the night/day! So all the preparations of dressing her up as a Japanese doll went straight to the bin - Kimono, Bun, Accessories, Fan & how to say 'Hello' in Japanese!

Thankfully I had taken a pic while trying out the stuff... 

And even though I was disheartened, her health was of utmost priority...and so had to be happy with the old saying, 'Its all for the best!'

Would be sharing the Kimono pattern soon! Its super easy & can be made in just an hour!

Love n Hugs!
