Have fun with the family making Jubilee Crowns to wear at your Street Party or family gathering.
You will need A selection of paper, ruler, scissors, glue or double sided tape.
Step 1 If you are using A4 paper, the easiest way to make squares is to fold the top corner along the diagonal to make a square. (The extra paper can be set aside to make paper chains.)
Step 2 Open up the large square, then fold diagonally to make 2 halves. Cut along the fold.
Step 3 Each half can now be used to make 2 equal sized folded triangles.
Step 4 For each crown you will need to make approx 10 folded triangles.
Step 5 To assemble your Jubilee crown, start by opening up one folded triangle and slotting the next one inside. Use double sided tape or glue to hold in position firmly.
Step 6 Continue alternating red, white and blue triangles, pressing down as your Jubilee crown grows.
Step 7 Dependent on whether the crown is to fit a little or grown-up head will determine how many triangles you need.
Step 8 To finish, gently curve the shape and slot the last triangle into the first and secure.
