What you need to get ready:

The Hungry Jack hamburger chain have crowns which they give to children at parties. The manager if asked may be kind enough to give you the number you need. These can then be decorated by covering over the "Hungry Jack Motiff" with jewels etc. You would need transparent beads etc to look like jewells, sequins, glitters etc. Craft glue to affex them to the crown (It dries faster than other glues).
