BICESTER Brownie packs used their creativity to produce amazing crowns fit for a Queen.

Craft shop Hobbycraft challenged Brownies, primary schools and Scout groups to come up with a crown to mark the Diamond Jubilee.

Each was given gold card, a foam crown, ribbon, tissue and crepe paper, glue, jubilee confetti, felt, and feathers.

A total of 13 crowns went on display in the shop at Bicester Avenue, off Oxford Road, and shoppers were asked to vote for their favourite.

The winners were Charlton & Otmoor Brownies, who bagged £100 of craft materials.

Hobbycraft manager David Ellis said: “Every group entered into the spirit of the Jubilee with gusto and some quality handicrafts were demonstrated.”

Among the entrants were the 9th Bicester Brownies.

Brown Owl Hayley Collier said: “It was a great idea for Hobbycraft to get the Brownies involved in the jubilee celebrations, the Brownies and the leaders at my unit all had a great time making their crowns.”
