DIY Projects - How to make a Princess Cape and Tiara

How to make a Princess Cape and Tiara

See What I made for my little daughter..........

Princess Cape made by tulle and ribbon. Tiara made by pipe cleaners, pom pom and some rhinestones.

She always said she is a princess. She is extremely happy and excited when she gets the cape and tiara, of course I am really really really happy that she loves it.

Handmade crafts materials shouldn't be too expensive and it is better to use and think about materials that we already have, at least this is what I always tell my kids about crafting.

This time I only use what I have and only takes me about one hour to finish BOTH.

DIY Projects - Hair Scrunchies - Idea from tutu dress

During Christmas, my daughter got a box of x'mas crackers. After she opened one by one, suddenly she got an idea, 'Mom, can we use these ribbon to make some hair accessories? it's quite beautiful to put them on my hair.' She is right, so I keep all these ribbon and make a hair scrunchie for her. And I use it in her ballet hair bun, it looks really good, just like a snow princesses!

Materials need:
Wow, it's really simple, only elastic hair band and ribbons.

What you need to do is untied all the ribbons (as these ribbons are tied both end of the X'mas crackers) and you can see that they are already little curly.

DIY Projects - How to Make a No-Sew Tutu Skirt / Dress

This is another Tutu Skirt I made for 2-year-old girl, details in How to make a No-Sew Tutu Skirt.

Making Tutu Skirt or Dress is easy and inexpensive, everyone can do it only if you are willing to spend few hours on it.

After learning the basic techniques (that I am going to show), you can customize the color, the style or add any decorations on it, specially design for the child's fairy dress up party, Halloween costume, Christmas party, Birthday party.....

Basically, you only need two major materials, they are tulle ribbon and 1/2" wide elastic.



1) Measure the waist of the kid, and cut the wide elastic to the length that minus 1" to 2" for the waistband of the tutu dress.

2) Overlap the two ends of elastic by around 1/3" and sew it with needle and thread.

3) Cut the length of tulle ribbon, but what should be the length? The distance from the waistband to the length that you would like to have, then multiply by 2 and add 1" on it.
