Hello everyone!
This is one of the last projects the big children make in kindergarten. It’s a very special one not only because they choose the colour and the way to decorate it but because they use it for their end-of-kinde ceremony.
For this craft you’ll need:
- a piece of felt long enough to wrap round the child’s head.
- a few pieces of felt in different colours from the main piece.
- a pair of scissors suitable for cutting fabric.
- a needle.
- thread that has the same/similar colour to the main piece of felt.
Method:
- Measure the length of the felt according to your child’s head size. Cut one side of the main felt into a serrated edge (roughly 1/3 of the width).
- Fold the side with straight edge to the low point of the serration. Now we will see a folding line. At the top part of the folding line, arrange several pieces of felt in different colours as the jewels of the crown. Sew the “jewels” onto the crown.
- Fold the bottom 1/3 to the back of the crown and sew the edge with a running stitch to cover the thread from sewing the jewels.
- Sew the edges together to form a circle. (If your felt is too short, you can consider joining the edges together with an elastic band.) The crown is done!
