Crowns and tiaras are objects that can me made in endless ways using a myriad of different materials.  This example by Stephanie from Make and Tell requires only a spool of wire and a pair of pliers – and if you have super nimble fingers, even the pliers are optional!  You could also add other embellishments to this design by stringing beads onto the wire as you go, or gluing rhinestones into the centers of the hearts.  [how to make a wire heart crown]

Do you know a little prince or princess?  This super easy DIY from Vanessa at Cafe Craftea will show you how to make them an adorable mini crown out of wire!  This particular type of wire comes in several different colors at Dollar Tree, so you have multiple options.  You could even take this further and add beads or other embellishments to your crown, attaching them using glue or more wire.  And while it’s miniature-sized on a human head, it’s a full-size crown if you put it on a doll’s head!  [how to make a mini wire crown]

A friend of mine came to me with a Halloween crafting question.  Her daughter is dressing as Princess Peach from Super Mario Brothers this year, and she needed a way to mimic Peach’s yellow crown.   Taking the cheap and easy route, I made a simple crown headband that I shared at Dollar Store Mom.  (Alright, I know it has more points than Peach’s crown, but I like really spiky crowns.  Let’s just call it “artistic license,” okay?)  [how to make a princess crown headband]
