If you are having a princess party, you already know that every young girl dreams of a tiara of her own. Whether it is a tiara for a young princess, fairy, or beauty contestant, girls just love tiaras. Whether you purchase tiaras at local dollar shops for all your guests, or decide to make your own, it is a snap to allow guests to decorate these tiaras as a crafting activity during the party.

Before it is time for the party, start gathering glitter pens, glue, beads, 'gems' and 'diamonds' and even feathers or sparkly trim. You can easily get these all year round in craft sections, clearance items, and remnants in craft and fabric sections. Even if you are buying plastic tiaras, your guests will enjoy embellishing their tiaras to make them more special.

In a pinch, you can always get a cardboard crown like the ones they give away at fast food restaurants, and trace them onto posterboard. These may be cut out, and decorated at the party. Cardboard crowns can be colored and/or have covered in shiny fabric or foil. They can be embellished with the crafting materials you have accumulated like feathers, glitter, 'jewels' etc.

Imagine your guests marching out when they are picked up from your party, wearing the tiaras they have decorated themselves. They are sure to enjoy these party favors even after they have left the party!

No matter how young your party guests might be, this is an activity they can enjoy. Even if you need to help with gluing or decorating, kids of all ages love tiaras, and are sure to enjoy being king or queen for the day.
