Here is how I made the fairy crowns for our Tinker Bell party.

Materials

silver (or gold) headbands

wooden stars

craft wire

silver (or gold) craft spray paint

clear acrylic sealant spray paint

ribbon

scissors

glue

duct tape

Instructions

1. Decide on a design for your stars. Glue the stars together and let them dry.
2. After the stars have dried, spray paint them silver or gold.
3. Once the stars are completely dried, duct tape a length of wire to the back. Wrap the wire around the headband to secure the stars. Cut off any excess wire and duct tape the sharp ends to the back of the stars.
4. Cover the wire with the ribbon. Lay the ribbon just below the stars so it covers the wire. Take each end of the ribbon one at a time. Wrap it around the headband and tuck it under the ribbon in the front. Allow the end of the ribbon to fall toward the back of the headband.
