\"\"<\/a>Like 99% of little girls, Lucy loves crowns. She loves to be a princess. She loves to be the Queen. So at the library yesterday we noticed a simple crown craft that a child was wearing and Lucy said, “Ooooo Mom. Look at that leaf crown.” Oooo indeed, I thought. Now that’s a craft I can do with<\/span> my kids! I know, last week I declared<\/a> how much I hate to craft with my kids. And I still do. But this seemed so easy: paper, store-bought leaves, and glue (or staples).
\nSo off we went to Joanns….<\/p>\n

And after a 1\/2 hour of crafting, we came up with this:
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>It’s not the most polished idea. The staples are exposed. And it’s nowhere near as cool as felt crowns like these<\/a> and these<\/a>. But it really was easy to do (once we realized that staples worked better than glue) and Lucy loved being the Harvest Queen for the day.<\/p>\n

You only need a few things: Cardstock, fabric leaves, scissors, and some sort of adhesive or fastener (glue or tape or staples). The colors of cardstock in this package<\/a> are perfect! (affiliate link)<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>Leaves were even cheaper than I thought! 50% off $1.99. Yes, please. We got 4 bags and only used 2 of them. (very similar ones here<\/a> – affiliate link<\/em>)
\n\"\"<\/a>I kept everything as simple as possible here….<\/p>\n

Tape two pieces of cardstock together on the front and back. Leaves will cover the exposed tape.
\n\"\"<\/a>Using a ruler, draw the top of the crown. Totally eyeball this, don’t get technical with the numbers. Draw two parallel lines and then draw triangles in between:
\n\"\"<\/a>and cut off the edges:
\n\"\"<\/a>Now, originally, I thought we would simply glue the leaves on the cardstock:
\n\"\"<\/a>But….since the leaves did not lay flat, they just wouldn’t stick to the paper. I tried placing a can of food on top for a few minutes to flatten it and it did nothing. Now, a hot glue gun would work fine but with little kids, that’s not an option.
\n\"\"<\/a>The easy solution: Stapler.
\n\"\"<\/a>The kids lined up and organized leaves on their crowns.
\n\"\"<\/a>Then we stapled them right on top.
\n\"\"<\/a>Definitely not classy. But easy and fast. “Crafts are fun again!”
\n\"\"<\/a>When you get the leaves in place and stapled down,
\n\"\"<\/a>wrap it around and staple it closed, to fit the size of your child’s head.
\n\"\"<\/a>and you’re done!
\n\"\"<\/a>Try them on!
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Then make a harvest crown for your friend Savannah and drive over to her house to deliver it (wearing your favorite princess dress<\/a> that Mom rarely let’s you wear in public. But hey, you’re the Harvest Queen.)
\n\"\"<\/a>Hooray for fall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
