How to Make a Paper Crown

Introduction: How to Make a Paper Crown

Hi there, this is my first time writing an instructables, so I hope you like it!

This is an easy project that you can do whenever! It's simple and quick to make, and it's completely made out of paper. This crown is great for all ages and anyone can make it! I had a lot of fun and creativity while making this, and I hope you do to!

• Decorative tape
• Decorative paper

Step 1: Cut

I started with two 9 x 12 in. papers, then I cut them into 4 x 4 in. squares. I cut 6 black squares and 6 white squares, making 12 total squares.

Step 2: Fold

Take one square and fold it in half so that two opposite corners meet each other. Form a crease and then unfold it so it is a square again.

Take the square and place it so that the crease is vertical, then take the corners on the left and right side, and fold them to the crease.

Fold the bottom corner up a tiny bit.

Fold the bottom side up again, it should maintain a triangle shape

Fold the bottom side up again, this time it should make a boat-like shape

Step 7: Repeat

repeat steps 2-6 again until you have used all of your squares

Step 8: Connect the Pieces

if you've done the previous step correctly, then you should be able to slide the pieces together until they fit together.

repeat step 8 again for the rest of the pieces. Some advice if some pieces aren't fitting correctly, try cutting off a little tiny bit from the corners or the bottom. Also if it's falling apart, try using some glue or tape.

Step 10: Connect the Crown

For the last pieces, just connect the left end to the right end, the crown might not be perfectly round but that's fine. Check the crown to see if it is a suitable size, if it's too big just remove some pieces, and if it's too small try adding some more pieces. I ended up using 10 pieces since it was a little bit big. If needed, apply some glue or tape for extra support. You can leave your crown here or decorate it in the next step.

Step 11: Decorate

Bring your creativity out in this step! You can use pens, markers, stickers, decorative tape, yarn, or anything else to decorate your crown. I used a pretty white moon washi tape on all of the black pieces, then in a few places I used vintage rub-on transfers from the dollar store. I used multiple stickers, scrap-paper, and other washi tapes to decorate the rest of it. I hope you had fun making and decorating your crown, I'm proud of your final creation, I bet it looks amazing!

How to Make a Paper Crown – Step by Step

Crafting a paper crown is a delightful and creative way to express your royal side or make a fun accessory for parties and play. This simple guide will walk you through the steps of making a charming crown out of paper, without the need for glue or complex materials. Embrace your inner royalty by crafting a unique crown with these easy-to-follow steps.

You Will Need:

• Thick paper (A4 size is sufficient, though larger sizes can also work)

Step by Step Instructions

Learn how to make a paper crown with our easy step-by-step guide below:

Step 1: Draw the Crown

Using your pencil, draw the outline of your crown on the paper. You can opt for a traditional pointed design or get creative with waves, curves, and other shapes. Make sure the design spans the length of your paper for a fit that can comfortably wrap around your head.

Step 2: Cutting Out the Crown

Carefully cut along the outline of your crown design with scissors. Accuracy here will ensure your crown looks neat and professional.

Step 3: Cut a Strip for the Back of the Crown

Cut a long strip of paper from what’s left of your sheet. This will be used to adjust the crown’s size to your head and secure it in place. The strip should be about 2 inches wide and long enough to cover the back half of your head.

Step 4: Making the Slits to Fasten

On both the strip and the bottom edges of your crown, carefully cut slits that are around 1 inch deep. These slits will help you fasten the crown securely around your head without using glue. Make sure the slits on the crown align with those on the strip, allowing them to interlock.

Step 5: Attaching the Strip for the Back of the Crown

Now, slide the strip’s slits into the corresponding slits on the crown. This should form a circle that can be placed on your head. Adjust the tightness by interlocking the slits at different positions until you achieve a comfortable fit.

Step 6: The Finished Crown

Once secured, your paper crown is ready to wear! You now have a wonderful, handmade crown to show off to your subjects or to add a regal touch to any outfit.

Customization Ideas for Your DIY Paper Crown

Adding a personal touch to your DIY paper crown can make the crafting experience even more enjoyable. Here are some creative ideas to customize your crown and make it truly one-of-a-kind.

Personalize with Color and Texture

• Color It Your Way : Grab markers, crayons, or paint to color your crown. Choose your favorite colors or match them to a theme.
• Texture Talk : Add texture with materials like fabric scraps, aluminum foil, or tissue paper. Crumple, layer, or twist these materials to make interesting effects.

Sparkle and Shine

• Glitter Galore : Apply glitter glue or loose glitter to areas you want to highlight. Use it sparingly for subtle sparkle or go bold for maximum shine.
• Sequins and Beads : Glue on sequins, beads, or faux pearls to mimic precious stones. They catch the light beautifully and add elegance.

Themes and Characters

• Fairy-Tale Fantasy : Cut out shapes like stars, moons, or hearts from construction paper. Attach them to your crown for a fairy-tale look.
• Superhero Style : For the comic book fans, make a superhero-themed crown. Use symbols or logos of your favorite heroes.

Eco-Friendly Embellishments

• Nature’s Bounty : Decorate with leaves, dried flowers, or seeds for an earthy vibe. Make sure they are clean and dry before attaching them to your crown.
• Recycled Riches : Use bottle caps, old buttons, or paper clips as jewels. Paint them or wrap them in foil for a metallic finish.

Safety Tips for Crafting Your DIY Paper Crown

Crafting a paper crown should be a fun and safe activity. Here are some safety tips to ensure that everyone can enjoy making their paper crowns without any worries.

Choose the Right Materials

• Non-Toxic Adhesives : Always use glue that is non-toxic, especially if children are involved in the crafting process.
• Child-Safe Scissors : Opt for scissors with rounded tips to prevent accidental cuts.

Crafting in a Safe Environment

• Well-Lit Area : Make sure your crafting area is well-lit to avoid eye strain and to ensure precision in cutting and decorating.
• Clean Workspace : Keep your workspace clean and organized to prevent accidents and to keep track of all materials.

Be Mindful of Small Decorations

• Choking Hazards : Be cautious when using small items like beads or sequins that could be choking hazards for young children.
• Secure Attachments : Ensure that all decorations are securely attached to prevent them from falling off and becoming hazards.

Supervision is Key

Adult Supervision : Always have an adult supervise when children are crafting, particularly when using scissors or working with small items.

Discover how to make a delightful paper crown safely with these essential tips. Safety always comes first in crafting!

Troubleshooting Common Issues in DIY Paper Crown Crafting

Crafting a paper crown is usually straightforward, but sometimes you might encounter a few hiccups. Here are some common issues and how to solve them, ensuring your crafting experience remains enjoyable and stress-free.

The Crown Doesn’t Fit

• Measure First : Before cutting, measure the head circumference of the person who will wear the crown. Add an extra inch for overlap where the ends will meet.
• Adjustable Closure : Make slits at the ends of the crown and use a paper tab to make the size adjustable.

Decorations Keep Falling Off

• Right Glue for the Job : Use a strong adhesive like hot glue or double-sided tape for heavier decorations.
• Press and Hold : After applying glue, press the decoration firmly onto the crown and hold for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Crown Is Too Flimsy

• Reinforce with Layers : If the crown feels too weak, glue two layers of paper together, or use a sturdier material like cardstock.
• Support Strips : Glue strips of paper or cardboard along the inside of the crown for added support.

Crown Edges Are Uneven

• Use a Template : For symmetrical edges, make or download a crown template. Trace the template onto your paper to get even edges.
• Steady Cutting : Use a sharp pair of scissors and cut slowly following the lines for a clean edge.

Are you in need of a quick, easy and fun DIY project? Look no further than making your very own paper crown! Perfect for a children’s party or a fun craft to do with friends, making a paper crown can be a simple and inexpensive activity that will leave you with a unique and personalized accessory.

In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the materials needed and the steps required to make your very own paper crown. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let’s gather the materials needed to make your paper crown:

• Construction paper or cardstock in any color of your choice
• Glue or tape
• Decorative items such as stickers, glitter, markers, and gems (optional)

Now that we have all the materials needed, let’s move on to the next section and start making our paper crown.

Steps in Making a Paper Crown

Measure and cut the paper: Take a long strip of paper, measuring approximately 24 inches long and 3-4 inches wide. Cut the strip to size using scissors or a paper cutter.

Decorate the paper: If desired, decorate the paper strip with stickers, glitter, markers, or gems. Get creative and make it your own!

Fold the paper: Take the decorated paper strip and fold it in half lengthwise, creasing it in the center. Open the paper and fold both ends towards the center crease, creating a point at the top.

Cut triangles: Cut triangles along the folded edge of the paper, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. This will create the points of the crown.

Fold the crown: Fold the paper strip into a circle and glue or tape the ends together, creating a seamless circle. Adjust the size of the crown to fit your head.

Add finishing touches: Add any additional decoration to your paper crown, such as stickers or gems, to make it your own unique creation.

Congratulations! You have successfully made your very own paper crown. Wear it with pride and show off your DIY skills to your friends and family. In the next section, we will provide you with additional tips and tricks to make the process even easier.

Let’s take a closer look at the steps involved in making a paper crown:

Measure and cut the paper: Start by taking a long strip of paper, approximately 24 inches long and 3-4 inches wide. Use a ruler and pencil to mark the measurements before cutting the strip to size using scissors or a paper cutter.

Decorate the paper: Get creative and decorate the paper strip with stickers, glitter, markers, or gems. This is your chance to make your paper crown unique and personalized.

Cut triangles: Use scissors to cut triangles along the folded edge of the paper, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. This will create the points of the crown.

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few additional tips and tricks to make the paper crown-making process easier and more visually appealing:

Use a thicker paper: If you want your paper crown to be more durable, try using cardstock instead of construction paper.

Add texture: To make your paper crown stand out, try adding texture with materials such as tissue paper, ribbon, or lace.

Use a template: If you find it difficult to cut the triangles evenly, try using a template to guide you.

Mix and match colors: Experiment with different color combinations to create a bold and eye-catching paper crown.

Get creative with the shape: Don’t limit yourself to a traditional crown shape. Try creating a heart-shaped crown or one with curved edges for a unique twist.

By following these tips and tricks, you can take your paper crown-making skills to the next level and create a one-of-a-kind accessory that is sure to impress.

Variations of Paper Crowns

While the basic steps outlined above will result in a classic paper crown, there are many variations and unique designs that you can experiment with to create a personalized accessory. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Animal-themed crowns: Cut out shapes of animal ears or horns and attach them to your paper crown for a fun and playful look.
• Flower crowns: Use colorful paper flowers to decorate your crown, creating a whimsical and bohemian accessory.
• Themed crowns: Customize your crown to fit a specific theme, such as a princess or superhero party. Use stickers, glitter, and other decorations to create a crown that fits the theme.

Get creative and experiment with different designs and patterns to make a paper crown that is unique to you.

How to Make a Paper Crown

Sharing how to make a paper crown out of a simple piece of paper. We are sharing a free printable template along with the tutorial.

We're It is my birthday week and I cannot think of a more festive way to celebrate than with a crown. Am I right? 

Well, rather than just buying a set of the boring foam ones at the store, we thought why not make our own? What is fun about this is that while at the craft store, you can pick out whatever kind of card stock you'd like. As you can see we were catering to some littles and some bigs (me!)

We highlighted this  Easy Paper Craft  along with some other fun kid's crafts in our  February Crafts for Kids  along with our  101+ Easy Craft Ideas for kids .

Celebrate with a Crown

There are plenty of different events where a paper crown could or should be worn. We know we have used them in Kid's New Year's Eve Parties , Tea Parties , or even for Mardi Gras .

Regardless if it's an event or your prince or princess likes to dress up, these sweet paper crowns can be made easier with a free template and are filled with hours of dress-up fun!

Paper Crown

I made a quick template on my silhouette and was able to use it to cut the thinner card stock ones out. The thicker glitter card stock was either too thick for the machine or I just don't know what setting to put them on (which is most likely the case) and so for those, we printed out a template and traced it, and cut them ourselves.

I created a free PDF template of the crowns for you in case you don't have a cutting machine. You can do it one of two ways.

Print the template right on the paper, or print it out on copy paper, cut them out and then use it as a template. Once you have them cut it's all about letting the kids decorate to their heart's content. We used stickers and sequins and puffballs.

We even found a bag of feathers in the clearance at Michaels and used them. Then using the round elastic cord cut a piece approximately a foot long. We found that length fit both the kid's heads and the adult's.

Using a hole punch on each side, tie the cord to the crown, and viola, you have yourself some fancy crowns that the kids absolutely adore. P.S. This is my crown. Pink glitter with puffs. Just need to add my pink and yellow feather and I'll be set for tomorrow!

MWH Boy was in love with his Spiderman crown. He called himself Spider Knight. HAHAHA. Auntie Jen got to wear it for our playdate since its her birthday too! See fun for both kids and adults 🙂

To make a paper crown, you will need a few materials, including a pencil. The pencil is used to trace and draw the crown template onto the paper. It helps create precise lines and shapes for cutting later on.

Scissors play a crucial role in creating a beautiful and well-shaped paper crown, so choose the right pair for your project!

Steps to Make a Paper Crown

To make a paper crown, start by choosing a crown template and printing it out. Next, carefully cut out the template with scissors. Then, glue the pieces together to form the base of the crown.

Once you have assembled the base, it’s time to get creative and decorate your crown using stickers, markers, or glitter . Finally, bring the ends of the crown together and glue them in place for a charming finished product.

Choose a crown template

To make a paper crown, you need to start by choosing a crown template . Look for free templates online or use ones provided in craft books. You can find different designs like princess crowns or simple crowns with points.

Once you have the template, print it out and get ready to create your paper crown!

Print out the template

To make a paper crown, the first thing you need to do is print out the template . The template serves as the base for your crown and gives you an outline to work with. You can find free templates online or create your own if you’re feeling creative.

Make sure to choose a template that suits your style and preferences. Once you have it printed, you’re ready to start cutting and gluing ! It’s important to have a good-quality printer and durable paper so that your crown turns out sturdy and long-lasting.

Cut out the template

To make a paper crown, you need to start by cutting out the crown template . The template is like a pattern that shows you where to fold and cut your paper. You can find free templates online or create your own.

Once you have the template, use scissors to carefully cut it out along the lines. Make sure to be precise so that your crown turns out neat and symmetrical. This is an important step in creating your paper crown base , which will serve as the foundation for decorating later on.

Glue the pieces together

To complete your paper crown, you’ll need to glue the pieces together. Take the top part of the crown that you cut out and fold it along the dotted lines . Apply some glue along the edges, making sure not to use too much.

Then, gently press the other end on top of the glued area . Hold them together for a few seconds to allow the glue to bond securely . Be sure not to use too much glue, as it can make your crown sticky or take longer to dry.

Make clean, straight cuts to get smooth edges. When folding the paper, use your fingers to create crisp creases by pressing firmly along the fold lines. Take it slow and be patient as you work through each step.

By being careful and precise, you’ll end up with a beautiful paper crown that you can proudly wear or display!

Use decorative materials like stickers, markers, or glitter for decoration

To make your paper crown extra special, get creative with decorative materials! You can use colorful stickers , markers , or even glitter to add a pop of sparkle and personality to your crown.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns too – stripes, polka dots, or floral prints can all make your paper crown unique and eye-catching . Let your imagination run wild and create a crown that reflects your personality!

How to Make a Paper Crown Craft for Kids

Step 1. Draw a zigzag down the center of your colored paper.

You can do this step whichever way you like. You can choose to eyeball it and just draw without measuring. This may be easier if you’re preparing a lot of crowns for your whole class to do. After all, kids don’t always care if things aren’t perfect the way adults do.

However if you want it to be more precise, then use a ruler to make your zigzag.

2. Cut the paper down the line.

Cutting is a wonderful way for preschoolers and kindergarteners to practice their scissor skills. However, if you’re doing this activity with younger children, like toddlers, they may need an adult to do this step for them.

3. Use sticky tape to attach the two sides together.

Turn the two sides of the paper around so that the jagged edges line up, making one very long piece of paper. Then use sticky tape, or a stapler to join the two sides together.

4. Decorate your crown using stickers.

I gave my kids some simple dot stickers and jewel stickers to decorate their crowns with. 

You can also use plastic gems and paste to glue jewels to the crown instead. Use what you have on hand or ask your kids what they would like to use. Let your imagination take you in your own unique direction.

5. Make the crown into a circle.

To do this step, first wrap the crown around the child’s head to make sure that it fits. Then use sticky tape, or a stapler to attach the two sides together. 

Don’t worry if the zigzags don’t match up completely. It’s more important for the crown to fit and the kids to have fun.

Whether you're the birthday kid or adult for the day, a crown is the perfect accessory for every event! Wear a paper crown while playing make-believe. A fresh flower crown will complete your summer picnic look. Silk flower crowns are perfect for special occasions, like birthdays and weddings.

Creating a Reinforced Paper Crown From a Template

• If you are searching for a template for a princess crown, look for templates with softer shapes and curves. The more delicate, the better.
• If you are looking for a template for a royal crown, look for templates with jagged shapes.
• If you are doing this project with kids, assist and supervise with this step.
• If you want to use thinner paper, such as scrapbook paper or wrapping paper, glue it down onto a stiffer paper (such as cardstock) first.
• If you want your crown to be a special color (such as silver or gold), paint it first using spray paint or acrylic paint. Let the paint dry, then trace it, then cut it out.
• To create a princess crown, use silver or gold glitter glue, and pink or purple gem stones.
• To create a royal crown, use gold glitter glue, and blue, red, green, or purple gem stones.
• To make a crown fit for an ice queen, use lots of silver or iridescent glitter glue. Use lots of blue and silver gem stones.
• If you want to make a creepy crown, consider using black glitter glue, and glueing on some plastic spiders and black or purple gem stones.

Creating a Floral Crown

• Consider wrapping floral tape around the twisted part to hide it and keep it from catching onto your hair.
• The mini arrangements don't all have to look alike. Put together unique combinations!
• In order to make the floral tape sticky, you have to stretch it a bit.

Creating a Silk Floral Crown

• Consider going with a seasonal theme. For example, for a Fall-themed crown, use lots of reds, oranges, and yellows. Try to include some maple leaves, sunflowers, and marigolds.
• Consider going with a holiday theme. For example, if you want to create a Halloween themed crown, consider using dark purple and black flowers. Roses, mums, and dahlias.
• Consider wrapping a piece of floral tape around the seam to hide it, and to prevent it from catching your hair.
• Consider saving the leaves off of some of the larger flowers. These can make great fillers.
• Do not use scissors to cut the silk flower stems. Many silk flowers have wires inside the stems, which can ruin a good pair of scissors.
• Place the largest flowers in the front, and use smaller flowers towards the end.
• Alternate large and small flowers.
• Consider looping long pieces of ribbon at the back of the crown.

• Using a pencil and ruler, mark your crown’s desired width and length based on your measurements.
• Carefully cut along the marked lines to create the base of your crown.

Creating the Crown Structure

• Fold the paper strip in half lengthwise to find the center point.

Making your flower crown is a wonderful way to showcase your creativity and connect with nature. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through making a stunning flower crown that will make you feel like a garden goddess. Let’s gather our materials and get started!

Things Needed To Make A Flower Crown

Here’s a chart outlining the materials needed to make a flower crown, along with their uses and some alternative options:

Selecting and Preparing the Flowers and Greenery

• Choose various artificial or fresh flowers that suit your style and color preferences.
• Trim the stems of the flowers to a length of approximately 2-3 inches using wire cutters or scissors.
• If using fresh flowers, remove any excess leaves and thorns to ensure a clean and comfortable fit.
• Gather an assortment of greenery or foliage to complement the flowers, such as ferns, leaves, or eucalyptus.

Creating the Base of the Flower Crown

• Measure the circumference of your head with floral wire or floral tape, leaving a few extra inches for adjustments.
• Shape the wire or tape into a circle, ensuring a comfortable fit when worn on your head.
• If using floral wire, wrap it with floral tape for added stability and to prevent sharp edges from poking through.

Attaching the Flowers and Greenery

• Position one flower stem along the wire base, facing outward.
• Secure the stem to the wire by tightly wrapping floral wire or tape around the stem and the wire base.
• Repeat the process, adding flowers and greenery and overlapping the stems slightly to create a seamless and full appearance.
• Continue adding and securing flowers and greenery until you have achieved your desired look.

Adding Decorative Elements (Optional)

• To enhance your flower crown, you can incorporate additional decorative elements such as ribbons, beads, feathers, lace, glitter, or faux gemstones.
• Attach these elements to the flower crown using adhesives, such as glue or tape, or intertwine them with the flowers and greenery.

Final Adjustments and Finishing Touches

• Once you have completed the arrangement, try on the flower crown and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit.
• Trim any excess stems or foliage that may be sticking out.
• Add some adhesive to secure loose elements or ensure the crown’s longevity.

Flower Crown Base

To make a flower crown base, follow these steps:

Materials Needed

• Floral wire or floral tape
• Wire cutters or scissors

Instructions

Measure the circumference of your head using a piece of floral wire or floral tape. Leave a few extra inches for adjustments.

• Using wire cutters or scissors, cut the floral wire or floral tape to the measured length.
• Shape the wire or tape into a circle, forming the base of the flower crown. Ensure that the ends of the wire overlap slightly.
• If using floral wire, twist the overlapping ends together to secure the circular shape. If you use floral tape, wrap it around the overlapping ends to hold them in place.
• Smooth out any sharp edges or protruding wire, ensuring the base is comfortable to wear.
• Optionally, you can wrap the entire base with floral tape to provide a smooth surface and additional stability.

A paper crown is a decorative headpiece made entirely or primarily from paper materials. It is a popular craft project for various occasions, such as birthdays, parties, or imaginative play. Paper crowns can be customized with different colors, patterns, and embellishments to match a specific theme or personal style.

To make a basic paper crown, follow these steps:

• Colored construction paper or cardstock

Decorative materials (optional)

• Markers or crayons
• Ribbon or yarn
• Adhesive (glue or tape)
• Measure the circumference of your head using a ruler or measuring tape.
• Add a few extra inches to the measurement to ensure a comfortable fit.
• Draw a straight line on the colored paper or cardstock according to the measured length.
• Use a ruler to draw the height of the crown from a straight line, creating a rectangular shape.
• From the top corners of the rectangle, draw diagonal lines towards the center of the rectangle, forming triangular points. These points will be the peaks of your crown.
• Cut along the outer lines of the crown shape, including the triangular points.
• Decorate the paper crown using markers, crayons, or stickers to add color and designs. You can apply glitter or adhesive to attach decorative elements like sequins or small gems.
• If desired, attach ribbon or yarn to the ends of the crown to tie it securely on your head or add a decorative touch.
• Adjust the crown size by overlapping the ends and securing them with glue or tape.

How To Make A Paper Crown With One Paper?

To make a paper crown using just one piece of paper, follow these steps:

• One sheet of colored construction paper or cardstock
• Start with a rectangular sheet of paper. If the paper is not already rectangular, you can trim it to the desired size using scissors.
• Measure the width of the paper and divide it into thirds. Make small pencil marks to indicate the divisions.
• Fold the paper in half lengthwise, aligning the short ends.
• From the folded edge, measure and mark a distance equal to one-third of the width on each side of the paper.
• Draw a line connecting the marks on each side, creating two diagonal lines that meet at the top.
• Cut along the diagonal lines, starting from the folded edge and stopping at the marks.
• Unfold the paper. You should see a crown shape with triangular points and a gap in the middle.
• Decorate the crown using markers, crayons, or stickers. You can add color and patterns or draw jewels or designs on the crown.
• Apply glitter to certain crown areas to add sparkle and shine if desired.
• Adjust the crown size to fit your head by overlapping the ends and securing them with tape or glue.

Making a paper crown is a fun and creative craft requiring minimal materials. You can create a personalized crown for various occasions with just one sheet of paper and a few simple steps. Whether for a birthday party, dress-up play, or a themed event, a paper crown adds a touch of charm and imagination. So, grab your paper and scissors, unleash your creativity, and enjoy the process of crafting your delightful paper crown.

How to make a crown out of paper (no glue needed!)

Feel like royalty with our easy-to-follow tutorial showing how to make a paper crown.

Katie Dolan

Embrace your inner queen or king with our super-easy guide to how to make a crown out of paper! Create a statement at the next birthday party you attend with this fancy reusable crown.

You and the kids can make this paper crown in only a few steps and will only take around 5 minutes to finish! Once you're done you can decorate or crown however you like, or simply just wear it as is.

To make this paper crown all you need is paper, a pencil, and some scissors - no glue required. You can choose whatever colour paper you like but we recommend choosing the fanciest paper you've got to make your crown extra glamorous.

We've opted for a thick gold paper (thicker paper works better because it is more sturdy, but you can use whatever you have around the house too), but we love that glitzy royal look.

Whether you're getting ready for a birthday party, celebrating a royal occasion or creating a homemade costume, this easy tutorial will show you how to make a paper crown in no time.

How to make a crown out of paper video tutorial

What you'll need to make a paper crown:

• A4 paper 0f any thickness (thicker paper or card may be more sturdy though)

How to make a crown out of paper step-by-step (with pictures)

You will need:.

Draw spikes on your paper lengthways (as little or as many as you’d like on your crown)

Cut out your spikes

Cut a straight line under your spikes, this will be the bottom of your crown. Use a ruler and pencil to draw a line if you need to.

Cut another strip of paper for the back of the crown (you can make it longer or shorter to fit if needed)

Place the strip on the crown and draw a dot on opposite sides to mark out where the slits will be cut.

Creative activities for kids!

Keep your children entertained over the school holidays with Gathered’s fun art and craft ideas for kids to make at home.

Join the dots together to create a line, this will be the line you cut.

Fold the crown on the line you just drew, and cut a slit either side of the fold cutting through where you made the dot.

Pop up the slit you just made and slide the scissors in one end, now you can cut across the line to create the slit.

Do this three more times on each line you’ve drawn and you will be left with four slits.

Fold each end of the strip into a point, this will hold the crown in place.

Thread the strip through the slits you just made in the crown. Going under then up and through the second slit.

The point you folded will catch the other side and stay in place (no glue needed!)

That's it! Once you have attached both sides of the strip your crown is ready to be adorned! You can wear it as is, or you can go on to decorate it, maybe cutting some gem shapes out of shiny paper, or using stickers to jazz it up.

Feel royal for the day by learning how to make a paper crown

Celebrate in style with your own shimmering paper crown! This easy project can be whipped up in minutes and it’s simple enough for children to try too.

We’d recommend using gold or silver paper for extra glamour, but you can get creative with any paper you have at home.

Build your own impressive cardboard castle

Give an old box a new lease of life by transforming it into a cardboard castle! This project is a fun way to keep children entertained and you can make it as large or small as you like.

Where to buy solar eclipse glasses: Check out these last-minute locations before April 8

If you know where to look, you may just luck out and find a vendor or even a local library with some solar eclipse glasses still in stock..

You're running out of time to get your own pair of certified glasses if you're wanting to catch a glimpse of the total solar ecli pse that is nearly one week away.

If you're planning to be among the millions of people in the United States who will witness the spectacular sight on April 8, having a proper pair of glasses couldn't be more paramount . Until the moon completely blocks the sun's disc on the path of totality and ushers in darkness , the sun's rays will pose a danger to unprotected retinas gazing skyward.

At this point, proper eyewear may be hard to come by and some may be tempted to turn to alternative methods such as welding goggles . But if you know where to look, you may just luck out and find a vendor or even a local library with some still in stock.

Here's what to know about where to find last-minute solar eclipse glasses.

American Paper Optics, Warby Parker, among those offering glasses

Compared to regular sunglasses , proper eclipse glasses are 100,000 times darker to block nearly all visible, infrared and ultraviolet light and protect our sensitive retinas when looking upward near the sun.

That's why experts widely recommend them for those who will be watching as the upcoming solar eclipse charts a 115-mile-wide path of totality across North America.

Reputable vendors can be found on any eclipse websites like  NationalEclipse.com, which sells a variety of eyewear products, along with plenty of other gadgets one may need to see the eclipse. Additionally, American Paper Optics, the nation's largest supplier of eclipse glasses, offers express shipping and includes a  a countdown at the top of its website  to let you know the deadline to make a purchase to get your glasses in time for the big day.

Warby Parker, which actually plans to give out free solar eclipse glasses beginning Monday, may also be a good place to check.

Here are some other companies offering specials and deals timed for the big deal, including offers on eclipse glasses.

Finally, you may want to check your local library or other public institutions in your area, as many of these places have been offering free eclipse glasses to residents. Just don't count on supplies still being available.

Find a store near you: How to get your Warby Parker eclipse glasses

How to make sure your solar eclipse glasses aren't fakes

The responsibility of guiding American consumers to the safest eclipse glasses is largely left to the American Astronomical Society.

The organization maintains  a curated list of approved vendors  of solar eclipse glasses and its been updated to give priority to North American manufacturers for the upcoming astral event. Products you purchase that are listed on that site are guaranteed to be  in compliance with  the highest international safety standards.

Those standards are set by the International Organization for Standardization, which only vouches for solar eclipse glasses that are dark and strong enough to filter out a certain amount of the sun's harmful light.

Of course, plenty of fakes and cheap imitators are proliferating the online marketplace in the leadup to the eclipse.

A good rule of thumb is to avoid any vendors making the grand (and entirely made-up) claim that their products are endorsed by NASA. As the space agency reiterated to USA TODAY , it only advises that people get a pair of glasses, but does not recommend or certify any particular product.

The astronomical society also provides some  helpful tips  for other useful ways to spot scams and counterfeit glasses.

Solar eclipse forecast: Looking cloudy for some in path of totality

What else to know about the April 8 total solar eclipse

A total solar eclipse offers the unique opportunity for skygazers to witness the spectacular astral display with the naked eye – but only when the time is right.

Eclipse glasses are still very much needed for most of the show, so make sure to come prepared,  according to NASA .

But when the moon moves completely in front of the sun and blocks its light, you'll know it's safe to fully take in the dazzling display. That moment is what is called "totality," whereby uncharacteristic darkness falls and all but the sun's outermost layer known as its corona makes a rare appearance to us here on Earth.

Hundreds of cities in  13 states are on the path of totality  for this year's total solar eclipse, which will pass from southwest to northeast across North America. You won't want to miss it, as this is the last such eclipse in North American  until 2044 .

And as you make your eclipse-viewing plans,  these interactive maps  should help you chart the time and duration for when totality would occur in cities along the path.
