What You’ll Need

• PDF for templates from Disney Family
• Scissors
• Craft or scrapbook paper: 2 shades of orange, light brown or tan, and any other color you like to use for the headband (a gold patterned paper works well for this)
• Brown markers (wide and fine tips)
• Glue stick
• Faux gems

Step One: First, fashion a headband by cutting two 3- by 12-inch strips from craft or scrapbook paper. Fold both strips in half lengthwise (so they are 1.5 inches wide) and glue them together, overlapping the ends a bit to create a single long band. Wrap the band around your child’s head to fit it, and mark where the ends overlap. Remove the headband and glue the ends together.

Step Two: Print the template and use the pieces as patterns to cut out the specified number and colors of pumpkin and acorn shapes.

Step Three: Assemble the large pumpkin and the two smaller pumpkins by first using the marker to color the stems brown, as shown.

Step Four: Then glue the pumpkin mid layers in place.

Step Five: Next, glue the top layers in place.

Step Six: Now use the wide-tip marker to color the bottom of each acorn dark brown. Then draw criss-cross lines on the acorn tops with the fine-tip marker.

Step Seven: Glue the pumpkins (with the larger one in the center) to the front of the headband. Add the acorns, positioning and tilting them as you like.

Step Eight: For a sparkly finish, embellish the crown with faux gems.

A crown for a princess this fall with pumpkins and acorns brings festive fun to the holiday this year.
