I was able to snap a shot of my daughter wearing the Birthday Crown yesterday, but she was hoping for something more girly and pink. This was all the pink felt I had and I was wishing for some hot pink tulle but she thinks her cousin will like it anyway!
I cut the shape out of a sheet of felt, making it as big as possible. Then I ironed interfacing to one side of the felt.
I embellished the outside by sewing on some felt details.
I cut 4 strips of tulle about 4 inches wide in different lengths. The longest was about 36 inches. Fold the felt right sides together and place the tulle in the middle with the end sticking out of the top. Sew as close to the edge as possible. Be careful to only catch the end of the tulle in the seam.
Sew a piece of elastic string to the inside at each side. Turn right side out and there you go!
This is just too cute! Do you have the number templates available? I loved the letter templates you had for the tote bag – I used this them this weekend to make a t-shirt for my daughter & she loved it. Thanks so much for great ideas
Even cuter than yesterday! Love it!
Thiis is more like the pictures you see of princesses. Your daughter makes a lovely model. Your blog in a regular read for me.

found this while searching for a felt princess hat. awesome job. thanks so much!!
Hey! This hat is adorable! My daughter is celebrating (with a princess party) her 4th on Saturday and I want to make this hat. I’m a bit of a novice at sewing though and have some questions? what kind of interfacing do I need? was your felt very floppy or on the stiff side (mine is very thin and floppy). What exactly is the size/template for the shape you cut out of the felt? Just something to eyeball? I am no good at that, nor at cones…anyway, if you can offer any help, it’s much appreciated, otherwise I’ll just slog my way through! Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing this fab project. Quick question: was the piece of felt a standard 9×12 sheet, or something larger?
