Materials

  • Black leotard
  • Red tights
  • Glitter boots
  • Red felt hearts (or cut red hearts out of felt)
  • A deck of cards
  • Red ribbon and tulle (tulle not necessary!)
  • Crown or crown headband
  • Makeup
  • Wand or stick
  • Hot glue

Tools

  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors

Instructions

  1. For the collar: Simply spread out the deck of card in an arch (picture lining them up in the shape of a rainbow). (Do not use Queen of Hearts card - we’ll need that later).
  2. Then lifting one card at a time, put a drop of hot glue and press down. (If it feels flimsy after, flip it over and add some more hot glue.)
  3. Next cut a piece of ribbon longer than the arch of cards. (It should be about 12 inches longer on EACH side.)
  4. Glue the ribbon the the back side of the arch of cards. (You want it towards the bottom of the cards.)
  5. Once dry, simply tie the arch around your child, tying the ribbon in a bow.
  6. For the crown: Simply glue a heart to any crown headband you might have at home.
  7. For the wand: Paint a wood stick from the craft store black.
  8. Then on top we glued a Queen of Hearts card and another felt heart.
  9. Finish it up with classic Queen of Hearts makeup (search “Kids Queen of Hearts makeup” on Pinterest and try to recreate by looking at the photos).
