DIY Wonder Woman Tiara & Cuffs Craft

Halloween may be over, but according to my toddler, it’s always a good time to dress up. While princesses are all the rage in the mind of a 3-year old, I always love when I catch a glimpse of her super hero side. Sassy and invincible – yes, it’s an awesome combo. So when Wonder Woman and a few of her super hero friends shows up at our door. My mini super hero came to life. Hence why we needed DIY Wonder Woman Cuffs – STAT!

DIY Wonder Woman Tiara & Cuffs Craft

What You Will Need:

• 2 Empty Toilet Paper Tubes
• 1 Empty Cereal Box
• Gold Paint
• Red Foam Star Stickers
• Scissors
• Tape/Stapler

Directions:

Start with the cereal box. Cut one long slit up the cereal box so it opens flat (cardboard side up). Trace and cut out a tiara shape as shown (seriously so easy, no template needed). Cut out. Then cut out another long strip of cardboard to wrap the tiara to fit your child’s head. Get out your paint and paint the cardboard side gold. Allow to dry. Adhere the red foam star to the middle of the tiara. Staple or tape the strip to the tiara. Wrap around your child’s head and adjust to fit. Tape or staple the other side.

Moving on to the toilet paper tubes, paint the outside with gold paint. Allow to dry. When dry, cut vertical slits up the middle of the tubes. Adhere your red foam stars to the cuffs. Place cuffs in your child’s arms. Use tape if needed to keep in place.
