So in honor of the Royal Wedding I made a paper crown wreath.
I started with some scrapbook paper. My fave at the moment is a script paper. I had a round wire already but you can use cardboard or a hanger. I began cutting strips the same size to make crowns.
I glued the ends to form the crowns and glued it to the wire ring.
I got my wax sealing tool dripped hot wax and stamped a fluer de les on every other crown to give it an old world look.
This process should have been down before a made the strip into the crown. It would have been easier flat.
I made a small display around it.
You can add so many things to this. I like working with the jewelry adding the pearls or even a pretty pin would be nice. It's up to you! Notice the "C" on the candle. My daughter's name is Catherine also. A great name I think!
Are you gonna watch the wedding?

My daughter is also named Catherine. She is the same age as Kate and not married. I wonder if she can find a Prince?
