Partial Princess Crown

My older daughter has very thick hair, so the full princess crown would not work on her hair as well. We went with a partial crown instead. I parted her hair in the middle only to the point of her head. Starting on one side, I squared off a large section of hair. I then gathered a small section at the forehead and fastened it with an elastic. I then added the first section to a second small section right behind it and fastened with an elastic. I did this several times until I reached the point of her head. With each elastic I fastened it slightly closer to the part so that by the time I reached the last one, it was fastened right next to the part. I then did the same thing to the other side. I fastened the two tails together at the point of her head, then twisted the resulting ponytail over and through itself. I then added a bow.
Hint: If you don't like trying to tie a perfect bow every time, tie your ribbons into bows and then add them to the hairstyle with a bobby pin.
