Ever imagine what your crown would look like if you were Forest, Tribal or Fairy Royalty? Would it be made with flowers? Sticks? Feathers? Colors of the rainbow? Leaves from the plants & trees?

Think about it and the next time you explore outside, look for the "gold & jewels" of your crown! Then...make & wear it!
