How to craft a doll's crown made from paper...

       I have made several versions of crowns for dolls. This one is by far the least difficult and it requires very few art supplies to make. For a bent chenille stem version go here.

The doll crown finished made using
decorative papers and stickers.
Supply List:

  • decorative scrapbooking paper (two coordinating patterns)
  • pattern below (print on home computer)
  • gems and precut flowers
  • white school glue
  • paper clamp or two paper clips
  • scissors 
  • a soft tape measure 
  • the doll you wish to fashion the crown for

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1.  Download the largest file size for the doll paper crown below and print this out on a home computer. The original length of the pattern should measure 7 inches exactly. If it doesn't, drag it into a software program to resize it properly. 
  2. When tracing and cutting out the pattern, make sure to line up the dotted edge along the folded edge of a half sheet of paper. 
  3. After tracing and cutting the crown shaped pattern you should have a 14" length of the image below in the pattern. Repeat the steps. 
  4. Now glue the front and back sides of decorative scrap papers together.
  5. Paste or staple the end tabs on till these line up. The last half point of the crown come together to make a complete point after gluing. Use the paper clips or paper clamp to hold the finished crown together until the glue dries hard.
  6. This paper crown pattern is designed to fit a American Girl doll's head.
  7. Trim the crown with plastic gems and flower stickers as you like.
