Designer Jessica Entwistle says “These denim crowns are great for dressing up or as partywear for the birthday girl or boy. You can add as much embellishment as you like – I’ve adorned mine with colourful pom poms, ribbon, felt and buttons. And, as they have a tie fastening, they’ll fit kids of all ages.” You will find all of the templates needed to make the crown and tiara here.

Designer Jessica says: “You can embellish this easy-to-make lunch bag however you like. I’ve kept mine simple with a healthy apple motif, but you could personalise yours with appliqué initials, embroidery or even have fun with fabric paint. To make the bag, you need as wide a pair of straight leg jeans as possible.
