In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to make a St. Lucy crown using paper or craft foam step-by-step. You probably have all of the paper supplies at home already or you can swing by your local Hobby Lobby and buy an Advent wreath craft kit for only $2 that uses similar pieces.

Supplies Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used 4×4″ mini canvases from Michael’s) Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Magenta, Pthalocyanine Green, Titanium White, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver, Magenta, Violet, and Pthalocyanine Blue Artist’s Loft Paints) (Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, Dick Blick and Liquitex are all great cost-effective brands. Brands like Craft Smart and DecoArt can be too thin depending on the color) If you want a non-permanent water soluble option for little kids, I highly recommend gouache or tempera paints. My kids love these gouache sets! Paint brushes (One big, medium, and small brush) Water Paper Towels Palette (or paper plates) Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy
Optional: Hair Dryer
Once acrylic paint dries, it is permanent. If you get paint on your clothes, try to wash it out as soon as possible. I like to use Murphy’s Oil (Pine Sol, nail polish remover, or isopropyl alcohol work too) and the abrasive part of a sponge to scrub paint out of clothing. If it has dried, soak it in a little bit of one of the solutions listed above for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing off the hardened paint.

I recently got to go to Italy to explore some of the incredible art and architecture in Rome and Florence. My family, friends, and I put together a DIY Catholic art pilgrimage. It was a quick trip, lasting only a week, but it reignited the creative fire in my soul.

View from the top of St. Peter’s Basilica
In Florence: Santa Maria del Fiore The Uffizi Galleries Galleria dell’Accademia Pitti Palace Boboli Gardens Ponte Vecchio Santa Croce Piazza della Repubblica Piazza della Signoria
Outside of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence
Places we ate: Al Passetto di Borgo (i rigatoni alla norcina is said to have been a favorite of Pope Benedict’s) My Sugar Pino’s Retrobottega Gustapizza Acquacotta
Florentine Steak at Acquacotta
In Florence, we stayed at this sweet little convent that was within walking distance of all of the places we visited. We highly recommend it!
