Seedling Disney's Beauty and The Beast Design Your Own Enchanted Flower Rose Crown Activity Kit

Step 1: Throw away the tape. It's incredibly bad paper tape that unwraps and falls off in about 30 minutes. Use real floral tape. Much better grip and results, plus it's thinner so you don't wind up with big tape bulges that look like mutant cocoons. 2: Look at the stems. You'll see an opening at one end. Cut some stems (you'll have plenty left over) and stick them in the openings - stick a flower on this. You'll wind up with a stem with a flower at each end. MUCH less bulk, tape and a much fuller garland. See my photos. If you don't want to do that, cut off the opening at the end to reduce the bulk. If you use the included tape you will hate this thing and rate it two stars. Use floral tape and you'll like it.The flowers can be assembled with or without the glitter glue. The glue takes several hours to dry. If you don't wait, you'll have glittery fingers and glue everywhere.A great project, especially for parent/child, etc. We used it as an activity when babysitting. It takes some coordination, especially for the taping - but you can take turns. The child can assemble flowers, the adult can tape them on (assuming a younger child...)Included are tubes of red and gold glitter glue, four different ribbons, one heavy green rapped wire, a pack of plastic leaves, various large cloth flowers, a pack of small flowers and plastic stems. It looks fake, even at a distance - but it's still cute and an enjoyable project.Photos: DIY two headed flower, floral tape vs paper tape, paper tape falling off and paper vs floral tape on the wire.

Love the idea and the company Seedling. This one was a little bit of a miss though. It didn’t have great directions. The pieces didn’t fit well together as expected. It was ok for what it is though.

Excellent

Beautiful set and perfect for young lady.

A little tricky for younger kids to make on their own.

I got this for my 2-year-old so she could wear after I put it together, because she loves crowns.It doesn't give you too many instructions, most of it is to use your imagination and creativity. You get wire crown, varied red flowers, varied yellow flowers, a pack of leaves and stems, glitter glue, ribbon, green tape.It gives you the instructions to assemble your flowers: grab a bloom, a stem, and a leaf. Insert the pointed end of the stem into the bottom of your flower then slide the wide end of the stem through the hole of the green leaf. Pretty simple, except there are some yellow flowers with golden middles that don't have a bottom that you can slide onto the stem. But there are extra bottoms that can slide into the stem so I used a glue gun to glue those to the bottom of the yellow flowers and then push onto the stem. Then you just assemble the flowers how you like it and use the green tape to wrap around the stem and the crown.It isn't too hard, but your child probably has to have very good motor skills to do this. It is a bit tricky to get the stems taped onto the crown and getting around the flowers you have already wrapped onto it. I think kids could definitely make their pattern of flowers on the stems and then a parent wraps the flowers onto the crown.I also tied some ribbons, that came with the kit, to the bottom of the crown and then glued the smaller flowers onto it. In the end you have a lot of stems and flowers leftovers after you make your crown. Overall it is pretty easy, I just wish there was some examples or all the flowers have the right bottoms to put on the stems. I had to use an additional glue gun to finish assembling some.

Wow, the package is a lot bigger than I'd expected it to be. It's full of supplies so there's almost enough to make two or have some left over craft bits for other projects. It allows them to pick and choose how they want to decorate rather than have to do it one certain way. I can see why too; ours doesn't look nearly as nice as the example photo. ;) But it was made with fun and pride. This will keep a child busy well over an hour to make it. Then they can enjoy wearing it after. It's a fun idea for birthdays, before or during trips to Disney parks (something to do back at the hotel), or just for fun. Belle/Beauty and the Beast is so popular so it's sure to be a hit with any Disney Princess fan. It's not exclusively Disney either so girls that love to play castle or go to renaissance fairs would love it too.

My 4 year old daughter is a huge Disney fan and while her favorite Disney princess is Elsa by far (we can't go a day without it being on the TV at some point), Belle is most definitely her second-favorite. She was absolutely overjoyed to get this create your own floral princess crown craft kit. While the recommended age group is 6 years and up, my 4 year old was able to complete the craft without too much help from me and her 15 year old sister and she is so proud of the crown now that it's been completed. She has this little silk pillow she's displaying it on that's sitting on her dresser when she's not wearing it. While it may seem like a bit high of a price for what it is, the materials are actual of pretty good quality and the crown really does look very pretty. She absolutely loves it. The fact it wasn't just handed to her and she had to put some work into making it makes it all that much more special to her. Definitely recommend for any little Belle fans in the house, especially if they like to craft.
