15 Pretty Princess Crafts for Kids
Here are 15 Pretty Princess Crafts for Kids, in time for National Princess Day! Your princess can slay dragons or do anything you want her to!
It’s a story we’ve heard before. A beautiful woman meets a prince at a ball, and he falls head over heels in love with her. He searches far and wide and finally finds the fair maiden. The prince proposes they get married, and the pretty lady becomes a princess.
It sounds like a familiar fairy tale, only this is a true story! This is the story of actress Grace Kelly, who met the Prince of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival and ended up marrying him to become the Princess of Monaco. Turns out that fairy tales do come true!
While there are real-life princesses all over the world even today, here are some famous princesses from movies, that aren’t Disney princesses.
Famous Movie Princesses (that aren’t Disney):
- Letitia Wright as Shuri in The Black Panther
- Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries
- Amy Adams as Giselle in Enchanted
- Audrey Hepburn as Princess Anne in Roman Holiday
- Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars
- Liv Tyler as Arwen in Lord of the Rings
So we’ve talked about real-life princesses and movie princesses – now how about some DIY princesses? With National Princess Day coming up on 18th November, we think it’s a great time to make these pretty princess crafts for kids!
15 Pretty Princess Crafts for Kids
1. Princess Elsa Papercraft
We start our list of princess crafts for kids with a princess that captured the attention of everyone since 2013 – Elsa! It’s interesting to note that while most Disney princesses are teenagers, Elsa is the only one who’s not – she’s 21.
2. Paper Plate Princess Craft
We love this cute paper plate project that features princesses dancing – there are many talented princesses in real life too! In fact, Queen Elizabeth II’s daughter, Princess Anne, is an equestrian and participated in the 1976 Summer Olympics, becoming the first British royal to do so.
3. Cupcake Liner Princess Leia Craft
Another fictional princess that has earned a great deal of respect is Princess Leia of the Star Wars franchise, famously played by Carrie Fisher. Learn how to create a cupcake liner version of the princess with this craft!
4. Princess and the Pea Color by Place Value Sheets
If you’ve heard the story of the Princess and the Pea, you know that the queen’s idea of a real princess was someone who was delicate enough to feel a pea under 20 mattresses. However, since that is pretty impossible, we’re told that the princess slept quite well and faked her discomfort the next morning!
5. Disney Prince and Princess Paper Dolls
It’s really hard not to mention Disney princesses when talking about princess crafts for kids! This printable will be loved by Disney fans, and for a change, it’s not all about just princesses – the princes are also featured!
6. Princess Elsa Clay Craft
If you know a Frozen fan in your life, this cute polymer clay Elsa craft will make a great gift. It’s small enough to be a stocking stuffer, so it’s a good option for the coming holiday season.
7. Paper Roll Princess Craft
Paper rolls can be converted into anything – including princess crafts for kids! Mas and Pas shows us how with some pretty fabric and paint, you can turn a plain brown paper roll into a gorgeous princess doll!
8. Princess Paper Bag Puppet
Pretend play has many benefits for kids, and it’s something they begin early in childhood. If your little one loves pretend playing as a princess, she’ll also enjoy putting up a puppet show featuring these puppets from Simple Everyday Mom!
9. DIY Princess Paper Crown
We love how simple yet elegant this paper princess crown from Show My Crafts is! You can use any combination of colors and embellish it as much as you want with stickers, gems, pom poms and more!
10. Personalized Princess Puppet
What we love about this craft from Crayola is that you can put up a puppet show featuring a prince and princess – that look like you! The craft allows you to insert your photo, which makes this so much more interesting!
11. Popsicle Stick Princess Castle
Glued to My Crafts brings us a cute little princess castle craft, featuring a castle made of Popsicle sticks. It must feel great to live in a grand castle, but there was once an Indian princess who gave it all up. Mirabai was a devotee of God Krishna and gave up the pleasures of this life to focus on her faith. That’s quite a different kind of princess!
12. Princess Bingo Printable
Celebrate all things princessy with this printable bingo game from See Vanessa Craft! This would be perfect for a princess-themed birthday party – save it in your party ideas!
13. DIY Princess Wands
If you’re setting up a princess outfit, you’re likely to need a wand, and that’s where this project from Made to be a Momma comes to the rescue! However, real-life princesses wield much more than just wands! Take Pingyang for example, a Chinese princess who put together an all-female army to help her father!
14. Pipe Cleaner Princess Craft
Frugal Fun 4 Boys shows us that you can make princess crafts out of pipe cleaners too! We think this is quite clever, and love the way the princesses have been dressed up in cupcake liners!
15. Paper Dress-Up Princess Dolls
All you need is a color printer to make these pretty princesses from Canon Creative Park! They look quite modern, which reminds us of Diana, Princess of Wales, who is probably the most popular “People’s Princess”.
So there’s our list of 15 gorgeous princess crafts for kids – both boys and girls! You can use quite a few of these for a princess-themed party, either as favors or games. We’re sure they’ll keep kids busy for a while as they let their imaginations run wild with princess stories!
