Our blog countdown to the three-year old’s birthday party continues!
Today we share a mother-daughter project that’s been three years in the making.
The birthday girl and I made this special birthday crown based on Amanda’s crowns, adapting the template and technique in her inspiring, wonderful book, The Creative Family
My daughter involved herself in each step of the project (no surprise there!). She picked the colors, dictated the embellishment shapes, and placement of all items. She hand sewed the green star-burst on the pink bird. She held my hand as I cut the felt, assisted me in pinning and gluing the embellishments, attached the velcro to the tags (omitting the elastic band in the back, allowing for a more seamless crown), and helped me sew the entire crown, pulling the needle through after I placed each stitch.
Let me tell you, this crown was a labor of love and so worth it.
Want to see it on her? That’s tomorrow’s post!
it’s BEAUTIFUL! can’t wait to see it on the birthday girl!
THAT is a spectacular birthday crown. Does Mama get to wear it on her birthday, too? ;-)
This little girl really likes to participate! What a terrific Momma you are, taking her seriously and accepting who she is. Blessings on you both!
so cute!
