You can make a bunch of these for under $3, if you already have some basic crafting equipment. You do need some way to attach the crown to your head; I hot-glued mine to a headband, which is the easiest and most effective way I found. It took me about a half hour once I figured out the pattern. So if you have a child begging you to make them a crown, this might be the pattern for you. Also, of course, you could make one for yourself. I’ve seen some excellent Elsa costumes, and where would they be without a crown?

The pattern (and tutorial!) is available for free on my blog. :)
