To begin we need to upload the pattern into Design Space. Download the image from the link below to your computer and then in Design Space click Upload from the canvas screen.

Make sure you erase the background to give you a nice clean cut and then save it as a a cut file.

Click the uploaded file and then add it to the canvas.

From here, ensure the design is sized correctly and then click Make It.

Next, we need to choose our material setting.

For this project you want to use a stiff felt so the crown stands up. Stiff felt can be cut on any Cricut machine using the Fine Point blade.

If you're using a Maker machine I would use the Rotary Blade. It works best with most fabrics. You may need to adjust your material setting for the Rotary Blade to be an option.

Never cut felt with your Cricut before? Make sure you do a test cut first to check that you're getting a clean cut.

If you're planning to paint the felt you can cut all the pieces out of one felt piece. If you're using specific felt colors cut the jewels and crown pieces separately.

If you don't have a Cricut machine you can print out the pattern on a regular piece of printer paper and then cut it out with either scissors or a craft knife.

If you can't find stiff felt in the color you need you have two options.

Option 1 is to choose a different color and then use a fabric paint to paint it the color you want.

Option 2 use a fabric bonder like heat n bond and add that to a softer felt in the color you want.

If you choose option 2 make sure you add the stiffener only to the back of the crown piece.

If your felt is not the color you want your final crown to be use a fabric paint and paint it the right color.

Make sure you protect your surface because paint will likely bleed through the fabric.

If you're painting your felt pieces make sure you paint the jewel components a coordinating color like I did. Since these are jewel pieces using a fun sparkle paint is a great way to make the jewels pop.

Now that we have all of our pieces prepped use a fabric adhesive to adhere the jewel pieces to the crown base.

Use the photo below as an example for how the pieces should be laid out.

Once the adhesive is dry it's time to add the elastic.

Use a measurement for the person who will be wearing the grown as a guide and cut the elastic to length.

Use a fabric glue or sewing machine to secure the elastic to the ends of the crown.

If you're using a fabric glue make sure you give it plenty of time to dry before use so it doesn't pull away from the felt.
