She showed that the first step was to take a simple paper plate and paint it in your chosen colour – Home Is Where The Art Is went for a bright yellow to imitate gold.

Then, the TikToker reached for a pair of scissors and cut small triangle segments from the centre, ensuring she left a decent sized border around the edge.

One that’s done, it’s time to get creative and go wild with your chosen decorations.

Home Is Where The Art Is opted for a mixture of gold stars, brightly coloured gem stars and little colourful balls, which can all be bought cheap from places like Poundland and supermarkets.

After sharing the details of her “easy crown craft”, other parents went wild for the idea, as they said they loved how foolproof they are.

One social media user wrote: “This is brilliant – love this idea!”

Another person added: “This is a good idea.”

Meanwhile, a fellow mum typed: “We have a coronation event on Saturday and are struggling to find crowns, such a fab idea – thank you.”

As other tagged fellow parents to show them the easiest technique they’d seen yet, others said they’d wished they’d known about it before they decided to get creative.

One hinted there’s wasn’t as easy to make, as they revealed: “Why didn’t I see this an hour ago!”
