How to Make a Wooden Crown
You can use balsa wood to make a sturdy wooden crown ornament or door decoration without advanced woodworking tools or skills. Attach a loop of string to a small wooden crown to make a Christmas tree ornament. A larger crown can serve as a door decoration for a child's room. Paint or write the child's name across the crown, decorate it with fake jewels, princess stickers or fairy stickers and attach it to the door with adhesive poster hangers.
