The classic golden crowns sold in supermarket patties are neither original, nor very strong. Making your Epiphany crown means ensuring a unique and personalized object. And if the galette des rois is homemade, then we have won everything in terms of budget!
Epiphany is here. The wise men and their disciples are coming to eat your good homemade galette des rois in 1 hour... but there is still one detail missing:the crowns of the future king and his queen of the year.
Personally, I have always found the crowns provided with the galettes des rois frankly unworked and unoriginal. So Hurry up, System D!
I'm going to get scissors, a cardboard sheet, a craft box and let's get creative! And of course I put the children to work. It's a great way to get them to do an original activity...
1. I cut a strip in Canson paper 60 to 65 cm long and 10 to 15 cm wide.
2. I draw pencil the design of my crown, applying myself. I form beautiful lilies or spikes and flourishes, according to my desires. Once I'm satisfied, I cut cleanly.
3. I CUS-TO-MI-SE! Depending on the color of my Canson paper, I paint (dots, stars...) or I stick stickers , pre-cut pictures (of kings, royal objects, family photos).
You can also glue buttons, petticoats, cotton, pearls. The important thing is to create with what you have on hand . There you go!
4. All that remains is to make one for the queen! Either staple it right away or wait for the king and queen to reveal themselves!
1. This time I cut a large strip 65 cm by 40 cm.
2. Placed horizontally, I keep 10 cm in the direction of the width and I fold. Then I cut 10 strips 5*30 cm from the 10 cm to the end of the sheet. And, I customize.
3. I hook the 10 strips together with a staple. Tadadam! You have a huge puffy crown like Aladdin!
The galette des rois is cooked, the bean inserted, the crowns made? So, "Happy Epiphany!"
What does your crown look like then? Share the effects of your imagination in the comments!
