Quick guide
How it works
Make a crown for a birthday, a play or a rainy afternoon. The printable guide puts each step in its own illustrated card, and the template prints the band at true size in two halves you glue together — so the finished crown fits the head you chose rather than whichever head the template happened to assume.
Choose the peaks, the size and the decorations, then download the steps with or without the template page.
Choose classic, star or princess peaks.
Choose the size that fits the head it is for.
Choose gems, stars or outlines to colour in.
Keep the true-size template or turn it off.
Download and print on A4 or US Letter paper.
Teaching tip
Using these worksheets in teaching
Cutting a long straight band and a row of repeating peaks practises scissor control over a distance, which is harder than cutting a single shape. Joining the two halves at the marked line introduces measuring by matching rather than by number, and choosing a size by age is a first encounter with the idea that objects are made to fit a body.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to make it?
Card or thick paper, scissors, and glue or sticky tape. Colouring pens if you choose the colour-in decorations.
Why does the template print in two halves?
A crown band is about 52 to 57 cm long and no sheet of A4 or US Letter is wider than 22 cm. Printing it in two halves and gluing them at the marked join is what keeps the crown true to size — scaling it down to fit one page would make a crown that fits nobody.
Which size should I choose?
The sizes are named by age because that is what you know: ages 4–6 is a 52 cm band, 7–9 is 54.5 cm and 10+ is 57 cm. A crown is worn with an overlap, so a centimetre either way makes no difference.
Can we decorate it ourselves?
Choose the colour-in decorations and the gems print as outlines to fill in. Turning colour off prints the whole crown as line art, which is the version to use if the children are doing the colouring.
Will it hold together?
On card, yes. On ordinary paper, glue the printed sheet to a cereal box before cutting — a paper band bends but will not hold its own shape once it is worn.
