Example
Example: a birthday crown for Ethan, 5, fitted to a 20-inch head
Ethan turns five and wears his own crown at the party. Settings: Crown Birthday, Name “Ethan”, Age “5”, In colour, US Letter. The PDF has 2 landscape pages, best printed on card stock.
- Page 1 is the crown front: 10.1 in along the band and about 4.1 in tall at the points, the 5 in a rosette and “Ethan” across the band, with the steps and a small picture of the finished crown.
- Page 2 has two headband strips, each 8.5 in long and as tall as the band (1.3 in), with a grey glue area of 0.8 in at one end; strip 1 carries the Head size scale, 19 to 24 in by half inches.
- Measure round the head, glue a strip behind each end of the crown, then lay the end of strip 2 on the line for that size and glue or staple it. The scale already adds 1 cm (0.4 in) of room.
| Who | Head size | Strips overlap by |
|---|---|---|
| Ethan, 5 | 20 in | 5.0 in |
| His friend | 20.5 in | 4.5 in |
| Mom | 22 in | 3.0 in |
| Dad | 23 in | 2.0 in |
paper-crown.pdf, with nothing of ours printed on it, since the crown is worn. For a craft table for the guests, choose Outlines to colour and print one per child with a different name; on A4 the same scale reads 48 to 60 cm.
How it works
- Choose the crown and type the name and age for a birthday.
- Print on card, cut out the crown and the bands.
- Glue the pieces together, fit the band to the head and glue it closed.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I make it fit?
- Measure round the head where the crown will sit. Strip 1 has a Head size scale — 19 to 24 inches on US Letter, 48 to 60 cm on A4: lay the end of strip 2 on the line for that size and glue or staple it there. A 20-inch head means the strips overlap by about 5 in.
- What paper should I use?
- Card or heavy paper keeps the points standing; gold or coloured card looks great with the outline version.
- Can children decorate it?
- Yes — choose outlines and let them colour it, add stickers or glitter.
- What occasions is it for?
- Birthdays, party games, school plays, the Epiphany cake in January, or Christmas dinner.
- How tall is the crown?
- About 4.1 in at the points for the birthday crown, 4.2 in for the king’s, 4.3 in for the queen’s, the stars and the Christmas trees, and 3.7 in for the flowers. The band itself is 1.3 in tall and the front 10.1 in long.
- Will it fit an adult?
- Yes, up to a 24-inch head (60 cm on A4): the two strips are long enough for that, with 1 cm of room added.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The pages are made in your browser.
