How Do You Make A Crepe Paper Laurel Crown?
• Cut a section of crepe paper that is about 20″ (50 cm) long. • Fold it lengthwise (so that it is still 20″ (50cm) long, but now only about an inch (2.5 cm) wide) and crease the folded side. • Cut half-ovals or half-circles on the folded side. Leave 1/8″ (3.1 mm) at one side of the shape, so that the paper remains intact, all along the length of the streamer. • Wrap the streamer tightly around the pipe cleaner, leaving the half-shapes free and dangling. Fasten the paper to the pipe cleaner by folding the wire or taping it. • Carefully unfold the dangling shapes, resulting in symmetric leaves. Shape the pipe cleaner into a headband or crown. Secure it to the head with bobby pins, miniature hair claws, or simply by weaving the ends through the hair.
