Sunday School Craft - Wise Men "Follow the Star" Crown



Okay. . .let's be honest here. . .

The MOST IMPORTANT reason for little kids to do crafts is so that adults can be equally as entertained.

This is one such craft!


You need: metallic bulletin board boarder strips (15pk at Dollar Tree), tree tinsel garland (10yds at Dollar Tree), star ornaments (6pk at Dollar Tree), pipe cleaners, paper, stapler, and a glue stick.



You can also improvise with whatever you can find. For instance, you don't need the garland. You could use construction paper to make the crown. And you could just cut out stars to hang. Anyways, this post should at least give you some ideas. The main thing is to make a crown and attach a star with a pipe cleaner for the child to "follow."


The first step is to cut the garland to the length of the boarder (This one is 18").




Then, cut out the verses in the template I've provided at the end of this post.



Then, staple the boarder onto the bottom of each boarder. (I used four staples per.)



Then, staple the pipe cleaner in two places from the back. (I also turned up the "tail" of the pipe cleaner to make sure it wouldn't pull out easily, but I didn't take a picture of that step.)




Next, glue the verse to the front of the crown.



Then, take a star ornament off the card and pull off the twisty-tie.



Insert the pipe cleaner through the top hole of the star. . .



And bend that tip down.



Final step: staple the back of the crown together in two places so it makes a hat!



My head is too big, but you get the idea. . .







Cute! Can you imagine a bunch of little kids running around with these on their heads at your church??? 

Adults will lose their ever-lovin' minds!



The End!
