Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Start with A4 paper in landscape orientation.
2
Fold in half lengthwise (bottom edge to top edge).
3
Along the top folded edge, draw a series of pointed triangles (the crown points). Make 5-7 points, each about 4cm tall.
4
Cut along the pointed outline through both layers, removing the paper above the points.
5
Unfold. You now have a band with crown-shaped points along the top.
6
In each section between the points, draw a small diamond or circle shape (these will be the jewels).
7
Cut out each jewel shape, creating decorative holes in the crown band.
8
Along the base of each point, cut small triangular notches for additional decoration.
9
Curl the crown into a circle and connect the two short ends by folding one end over the other and tucking. Adjust the circumference to fit a head.
10
Your paper crown is complete with pointed peaks, jewel cutouts, and decorative notches.
