Mother's Day Art Crowns

This project started with a dollar store plastic tiara like this:
I picked up a few of them and transformed them into Mother's Day art crowns! First thing - cover the cheapie plastic. For the one that says MOM, I wrapped it with colorful yarn, using white craft glue to seal it down. I bought some blank wood letters and painted them in all kinds of contrasting colors and accents and then hot glued them to the top of the crown.

For the other, I hot glued silk leaves around it. I used the "Forever a Queen" card from the Crafty Chica Inspiration Deck and glued it to a circular piece of wood, which I then trimmed in glitter. It needed height so I used some snowflake ornaments leftover from the holidays and glued those behind the circle. I glued rose buds at the bottom and wow, the crown is amazing!

These are just two ideas!! Here is the trick - if you wrap the base in fabric strips or yarn - something to make it smooth, you can then glue away to decorate it! Make one for your mom to wear while she opens her gifts, she will truly feel like a QUEEN!!

Peace, love, and glitter!
