How to make your own ROYAL crafts
Our craft queen Sophie Prescott is here with a couple of ideas to honour Her Majesty - including decorative wall art and a delicate centrepiece.

Directions
From a sheet of black felt, draw and cut around a template of the Queen's silhouette. Place to one side for later.
Remove the glass and backboard of your frame and spray or paint the frame with red paint. Now leave to dry.
Now take the backboard of your frame and cut the Union Jack flag/pillow case down to the same size of the backboard, allowing a 2cm extra rim on all sides. Staple the excess to the backboard tightly.
Next, glue the black felt Queen's silhouette onto the front of the board and Union Jack pattern.
Add some large jewels to the top of the Queen's crown or pearls onto the neck. To finish connect the frame and backboard.
