Noble Soul Crown of Virtues

Back by popular demand, our Crown of Virtues crowns are back in a new format!

Kids love these paper crowns, printed on heavy gold foil cardstock, and the message of human nobility is one we all need to hear. We were created noble by God, and what makes us noble are the virtues that we express, like honesty, kindness, happiness, love and helpfulness. Those are the names for the five gem-like stars that circle this spiritual diadem.

Kids in crowns turns any gathering into a celebration.

These can be used as craft projects for children’s classes, using glitter glue and plastic gems. The glitter glue comes in lots of colors and is available lots of places, but the right sized gems are harder to find, so I’m offering a pack of 8 crowns with a sheet of forty 9mm self-adhesive gems that are the perfect size to go in the middle of each star. Forty is enough for each of the five stars on eight crowns. The gems require a little bit of dexterity to apply, so you may want to help kids under ten, The gems are not intended for use by preschoolers.

At the 50 price, they can be given out at family fairs and festivals. They assemble quickly to be given to passing children. The message is such an important one, and will resonate with children and parents alike.

Unlike our original crowns that came in a long strip, these are cleverly designed to fold into a crown from a single 8×10 sheet of gold cardstock. No tape is needed for the standard size, which fits most kids.

The crown is cut and scored so that when you fold it in half to make a ring, a small section folds in, and a tab slides into a slot to hold it in place. No scissors or tape needed. (see pictures)

For the smallest children, simply cut off the section that would fold down, and slide the tabs into one of the inner slots. Two pieces of tape will help stabilize the crown in this smaller size. The crown will fit most school-aged kids without any adjustment, as the 20″ circumference will work well for them. The 20″ size will also fit some small adults. For smaller kids, slots are set for 18″ & 19″, with half-sizes also an option.

If you want to add a stronger Baha’i element to your crown activity, you can add two elegant little quotation cards made of the same gold cardstock.
One says: “All men are of one family; the crown of humanity rests on the head of every human being.”
The other says: “Turn towards God, and seek always to do that which is right and noble.”
They can be used as conversation starters while you decorate the crowns, or as tokens or prizes.
When you order them with the crowns, you get 8 of each of the cards (16) for less than when you order them separately.

Both the cards and the crowns pair well with our “Noble have I created thee” teaching cards in blue and gold.

*You can get glitter glue at crafts stores. Water-based markers or crayons will not stick to the metallic paper or glossy white ink, but glitter glue and permanent markers will stick to both. The gems we offer are clear with a holographic backing that makes them sparkle. They can be tinted with permanent marker colors.
