Instructions

Step 1: Print the Father’s Day crown craft template

Print the Father's Day crown template onto white card or paper. This template of a crown is straightforward to follow, even for younger children. Our crown for print works best on white card for a sturdier, longer-lasting finish. You may want to print a couple of spare copies in case of mistakes.

Step 2: Colour in the template

Colour in the crown printable as desired using pens, pencils, paints, Glitter Glu or similar. We also recommend personalising the crown with your father's name or with his favourite colours to make sure it's to his taste.

Tacky's tip

Remember to stay within the lines and to shade carefully so there aren't any white gaps. Use Extra Strong Glu Dots to add craft embellishments such as sequins, gems or similar and use Foam Pads to create 3D effects.

Important

Step 3 includes using scissors. Please ensure children are supervised when using scissors and if necessary, an adult should complete the cutting on behalf of a child.

Step 3: Cut out the crown

Next, carefully cut out the crown template from the printed sheet. Take your time around the pointed tips of the crown to get clean, sharp edges. Smaller children may find the finer details tricky, so an adult may want to help with any intricate sections. Once cut, set the crown shape to one side and keep the two strips ready for the next step.

Step 4: Create the crown band

Apply Blu Glu stick to both of the 'glue here' tabs on the strips and attach to form a circle. This is the crown band to go around the head.

Tacky's tip

If you can, measure your dad's head (or someone with a similar sized head) using a flexible tape measure. If necessary, cut your strips so that they are slightly larger than your measurement. For example, if you measured 56cm, cut to 58cm for a perfect, comfortable fit!

Step 5: Glue the crown into place

Next, glue the crown template face onto the circle band using Blu Glu stick and leave to dry. Apply the glue evenly along the bottom edge of the crown face before pressing it firmly against the band. Hold it in place for a few seconds to help it bond. Make sure the crown is centred before the glue sets, so it sits evenly when worn.

Step 6: You’ve created our Father’s Day crown craft

Now your Father's Day crown craft is ready to wear. It's time to treat your dad like a king this Father's Day! Once the crown is dry, why not present it to him with a handwritten note, or add a few extra finishing touches such as a paper jewel or a ribbon for a truly regal look. Whether he wears it proudly all day or displays it as a keepsake, this handmade gift is something he'll remember long after Father's Day is over.
