Paper towel tube
Scissors
Glue
Foam brush
Colorful paper

Things to do:

2. Paint a thin coat of glue onto the back side of the paper and roll back onto the tube, right side out.

5. Pull the spiral out slightly and wrap into a springy circle. Glue the ends together and pinch till dry. Once dry, pull slightly and crown your little prince or princess.
