Want an adorable addition for your little princess’ first birthday? This DIY birthday crown pattern is the perfect addition for your party.
It is my final day of sharing my daughter’s adorable 1st birthday outfit with the world :)
Over the past two days, I shared how I made her birthday onesie, and her birthday tutu. Now, I get to share the SUPER simple DIY birthday crown!
This little crown was easily my favourite part of her birthday outfit!
Materials:
Cricut Explore Air 2
Felt
Gold Vinyl
White hair elastic
Scissors
E6000 Glue
How to Make Your Own DIY Birthday Crown
To begin, I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 to find a flat image of a crown that I liked. I found the one above, and figured that I would need about 8 inches of vinyl to go around my daughter’s head, so I set the piece to 8 inches, and then cut it out on vinyl :) I also cut out a “1” in a font I liked, on the same sheet of vinyl.
Next, I ironed the vinyl crown, and the “1” into the felt, as per the instructions (for more information on how to cut vinyl, read here). Once the shapes were ironed on, I cut them out by hand. I left a purple felt outline around the “1” so that the number would stand out and be readable on the gold crown
I measured the elastic so that it would fit around her head, and attached the two ends. I sewed them together, but you could use the E6000 to attach them as well. Then I got gluing!
I glued the “1” onto the crown and let it set. Then glued the ends of the crown together and let that set. Finally, I glued the elastic onto the bottom of the crown and let that set. TA-DA!
She looked like a little princess on her birthday, and I LOVED every minute of it!

OMG she is adorable, those cheeks! My daughter just had a birthday (she turned 7) and she insisted on making a crown. Our was not as fancy as this one. When my daughter turned 1 I had her wear a tutu also, I figured I should take advantage of the girly-ness while she lets me.
I know! I had to take advantage of that fact that she has no choice in what she wears right now! Over the top girly was the way I chose to go too :)
I LOVE that! So sweet! And I can’t believe she kept it on LOL Thanks so much for linking up with us over at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again next week!
She did! For a while anyway…. I’ve always had things in her hair and she’s never refused!
This is such a cute idea for the little ones! I love that it can be customized to suit different party themes! =)
Thanks Miranda! I definitely can be customized :) I think I might have to make one every year! lol
The crown is almost as cute as the birthday girl…almost.
…almost… Lol. Thank you!!
I love it! I wanted to make one for my daughter’s second birthday but ran out of motivation. Maybe I’ll just make one just because. They are adorable.
Thanks Courtney!! I’ll probably have her wear these all the time now! Lol
Thank you so much for sharing this. I actually need to make a crown like this for my niece’s first birthday. It is so adorable!!

She is so adorable. When my first turned 1 I had her wear a tutu, too. Now she wears tutus play in often. Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post.

This birthday crown is so cute! Love the detail of putting the “1” on it, too!
