Cut eight evenly spaced slits into the plate, then fold the cut sections upward to form the crown points.

Attach felt balls to the tips of the crown points—using glue is recommended.

Once you’ve added the felt balls, it’s complete.

Adding sparkly stickers can make it even cuter.

If you plan to draw or color on the plate, it’s best to do that before cutting; it will make the process smoother.

Here’s how to make a cute ribbon crown.

Cut three pieces of wire, align them together, and form loops at both ends.

Since wire tips can be sharp, be sure to cover them securely with masking tape.

Shape the wire into a circle and tie on the pre-cut fabric strips.

When tying, make sure there are no gaps between adjacent strips.

Once you’ve tied them on, thread fabric through the looped parts of the wire you made at the beginning.

Thread a ribbon through the loop on the other side as well.

By threading a ribbon here, you can adjust the size to fit the head.

This ribbon crown is fun for everyone from adults to kids, so definitely give it a try.

It’s also perfect for birthday photos!
