Waldorf style birthdays usually have a birthday crown and I had seen several. So, this year I made one for my sons. Each match but are different colors. Zane's Birthday comes first so here are his pics, next will be David in his green one. They are made out of wool felt and then I embroidered the Zia symbol on them (the Zia symbol is the New Mexico State symbol) to tell where they were born. I got this idea from a fellow friend and crafter. I was going to put their zodiac symbol and more things on them too, but they looked so simple and beautiful like this, plus who has the time to embroider a ram and a bull? I did make them adjustable, each year I'll just put a different size elastic through... so they can wear them til' they are 18.... hee heee hee. I sewed a cotton back to them, so as to not itch and cover up the underside of the embroidery. Oh, and I guess I should mention it is all hand sewn without machine.
Eventually it would be nice to embroider their birth date and time on the inside with their names.
