DIY birthday crowns are so simple to make, look amazing and truly make the birthday person feel extra special! In the past I made these crowns in five minutes, and they were cute but not exactly works of art. Fast forward and I had a little extra time to actually figure out how to make a great looking birthday crown and voila, a bunch of designs were born. Now I just can't stop making them, and had to share one more with you! The latest crown was made for a woman nearing 70 or so, and she and her husband were supposed to be our guests for shabbos. Her husband had quietly told my husband that it would be his wife's birthday, knowing that I would do something for her, of course. Now, I do not know her age, nor would she necessarily want her age on a crown, so instead I made the hebrew letter shin, for Shulamit, her name. So we made a cake and a crown, but then the couple were not feeling well and couldn't come for shabbos unfortunately.
Sooooo, since they are our neighbors I sent my daughter over to their house with the birthday crown and a few salads for shabbos. My daughter reported that Shulamit loved the crown so much she was both crying and laughing at the same time! And when she called to say thanks, she reported that the crown made her so happy and served as their shabbos centerpiece. So there you have it my friends, a birthday crown can bring happiness at any age, truly! So lets find out what we'll need to make them, shall we?
