Dear Princess, Let's Gather Some Supplies & Make A New Cap For Your Spring Wardrobe!

It's easy to make your own beautiful princess caps, and I'm sure you will want to make one in many different colors! After all, a real princess knows that Daddy is watching her grow... and he's always careful to make sure she has just the clothes she needs for every occassion!

Although making princess caps is a relatively simple mechanical process, the designing eye and attention to detail are the true skills that are necessary to create the accessories that are perfect for YOUR wardrobe.

So, let's take a peek at some of the caps I've created, then you can gather your supplies and begin to create your own set of beautiful, designer princess style caps. I really had fun making mine, and would love to see pictures of the caps you create! Simply send me some photos, and I'll be happy to post them in the gallery on my website.

Supply List

I used about 1 ½ yards of tulle and nylon net for extra bows for the zebra and leopard caps.
My solid color caps are made with craft foam.
The zebra and leopard are made with stiffened felt.

You will usually find them located in two different departments at your craft stores, like Michael's, Wal-Mart or Jo-Ann Fabrics.
  • 1 yard tulle
  • 1 yard nylon net
  • 1 12" x 18" sheet of craft foam per cap
  • Assorted satin ribbons, pearls, ribbon trim, buttons, or other sparkly embellishments
  • Narrow rubber bands
  • Variety of silk flowers
  • Fabric glue for young crafters
  • Hot glue gun for older, or more experienced crafters
