Crown Her, Crown Him













It seems that the newest rage in children's toys/playwear are felt crowns. They've been featured everywhere, from magazines to blogs. Your little one can pop it on, don an accompanying fabric cape, and with a wand, rule the world--at least in their imagination. 

Inspired by all the craftiness around me, I set out to make my own. What does it take? Some pieces of felt, elastic, fabric scraps, the ability to embroider, and a little imagination. I must say I was pleased by how my crowns turned out, but I wouldn't want to make them en masse. Some special niece will get a very royal gift in the mail sometime soon!
