Better Than Normal was kind enough to send me a customized crown for my sons 1st Birthday Party! I had never even heard of customizable Birthday Crowns until I found her shop on Etsy. I was excited to be able to have such a wonderful opportunity to review one her fabulous creations on my blog! I already knew i wanted to go with a Elmo/Sesame Street theme for his party so i was so excited when I saw the "Red Monster" Felt Birthday Crown which is inspired by the character "Elmo" on "Sesame Street". I was even more excited when I received it in the mail! It came in a flat shipping envelope and was very light weight.
The crown features a Elmo character with bright red and orange colors to match the theme. Each crown includes a Velcro strip that keeps the crown secure and in place while allowing for easy adjustment. It was very easy to adjust and fit on my sons rather large head. All of her crowns are made using 2 layers of heavy duty felt with cotton in between. The round parts(Felt Gems) at the top of the crowns, can be multicolored or a single color by customers request. Each Crown is hand stitched using contrasting embroidery floss. I really liked the hand stitching as it makes for a more homemade look!
