1. Cut a 2 inch wide strip of red paper long enough to fit around your head.  Tape the ends together.  Cut two more strips of paper, each 1inch wide and 12 inches long.


2.  Fold one strip in half and make a 2 inch cut in the center.  Glue that strip from one side of the headband to the other.

3.  Glue the second strip on so that the band is divided into quarters.  Tuck and glue the center of the second strip into the cut of the first.  Cut a heart and glue into the center.

4.  Decorate the crown with hearts cut from white paper.
