Here is my $1 Queen of Hearts Crown (and the King of Hearts Crown, too.)
My kids were recently in a production of Alice in Wonderland and I volunteered to make the crowns. (I actually had to beg to do it because it was supposed to be student-run ONLY!) Anyway, I saw the black wire wastebasket at Dollar Tree and thought it might work.
The king's crown was made from two .50 candle holders that I took apart and glued together. I used red glitter fun-foam for the hearts, fat chenille, red boa, and red ribbon to embellish so they really cost more than $1, but that's the price they started at.
Here are the Queen of Hearts, the King of Hearts and the Nave of Hearts. My son was the king.
My daughter was the Cheshire Cat. All the kids did a wonderful, professional job! The director was just 16 years old! He has a great career ahead of him!

Hi Rosie,
The crowns are/were perfect for the play! You are very creative!
Thoughts for the darling baby shoes:
pin keep
vase...put a small shot glass inside and then decorate
flower arrangement
that's all I can think of. Did you google it???
Have fun and looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
No grocery store like that around here. Lovely roses.
Warmly,
deb :)
Hi Rosie! As usual, I love your finds! I've seen the baby shoes filled with dried flowers and little bits. I'm with Deb, Google it.

I love your blog! I got the address for your website from Mary when I spoke for a women's event. I mentioned my trash to treasure blog and showed some ideas and she said I had to see your blog. She was right!

Hi Rosie,
My name is Haylie and I absolutely loved your heart crowns! I was wondering if you could help me. I am a Senior in high school, and at every pep-rally seniors wear decorated Burger King crowns. Unfortunately, BK has run out and now I'm left to be creative. My school is the Milton Panthers and our colors are Black and Gold. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Haylie
