Five points, two glue tabs, and tons of room for ideas – our printable blank crown turns out exactly the way each kid imagines. Color it, decorate it, cut it out, and glue the tabs. This free blank crown template works for every age and is perfect for birthday parties, classrooms, and Three Kings Day.
Why This Blank Crown Is So Versatile
The simple five-point shape is the base for any kind of crown: a birthday crown, a king's crown, a Three Kings crown, or a fantasy crown. Since it's blank, kids can add names, numbers, patterns, and jewels however they like. Two small eye openings in the middle can be worked into the design as patterns or jewels. Glue tabs close it to fit any head. For schools and preschools, it's a handy template you'll use all year long.

✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Pens, paint, glitter, feathers, yarn or fabric scraps
- Scissors (craft knife for the eye holes – adults only)
- Elastic cord or a wooden stick
- Craft glue
Print the blank template on thick paper.

Ideas for Your Blank Crown
Hold a crown design challenge around a theme like outer space, flowers, or animals. Host a crowning ceremony where each child receives their crown and a royal name. Let a crowned child lead a round of King Says. Then have the birthday child wear their homemade crown at the birthday circle.
Fun Facts About Paper Crowns
Paper crowns are much lighter than real gold crowns, which can weigh more than four pounds. In Britain, little paper crowns come tucked inside Christmas crackers that people pull open at holiday dinners. In lots of classrooms, the birthday child wears a crown to show it's their special day. For Three Kings Day on January 6, many kids make crowns for the celebration. And with a French king cake, whoever finds the hidden figure gets to wear the crown.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The blank crown works for every age. For ages 2 to 4, an adult cuts out the crown and glues the tabs; older kids cut it out themselves, and an adult helps fit it to the child's head.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend heavier cardstock around 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the crown holds its shape. For bigger heads, add an extra paper strip to lengthen the band.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Blanko-Krone.
