Easy DIY Fabric Christmas Crowns
Looking for an easy Christmas sewing project that’s fun, festive, and beginner-friendly? Sewing a Christmas crown is the perfect project for busy makers who love to celebrate the festive season.
There’s something truly special about adding a handmade touch to Christmas! Whether it’s a gift, a decoration, or something fun for the kids, it feels so much more meaningful when you’ve made it yourself.
But I know life can get busy, especially around the holidays. Between work, family, and everything else on the to-do list, the idea of starting a sewing project might feel a little overwhelming.
You start asking yourself;
Will take too much time?
Is it too complicated for me to make?
Will it turn out and look ok when it's finished?
I completely get it—sewing can feel intimidating sometimes, especially when life is busy. That’s why I’m so excited to share these fabric crowns with you. They’re simple, beginner-friendly, and quick enough to fit into even the busiest schedule.
What can you use your Christmas Crowns for?
One of the best things about these crowns is their versatility. Here are some creative ways to use and enjoy your handmade crowns
DIY Christmas Crackers
Pop a crown into a DIY bon-bon/Christmas cracker for a delightful, handmade surprise that’s far more special than store-bought paper hats. Your guests will love the thoughtful touch!
Christmas Table Setting
Place a crown at each plate to add a festive and personal element to your holiday table. You could even coordinate the crown designs with your table theme.
Matching Family Sets
Create crowns for the whole family to wear on Christmas morning. Whether they’re playful and colorful or elegant and subtle, they’ll make your Christmas family photos extra memorable.
Kid-Friendly Play
Crowns are perfect for imaginative play, making them a thoughtful gift for kids that can be enjoyed long after Christmas.
Gifts and Keepsakes
Wrap a crown as a gift for friends, family, or children. Add embroidery or embellishments to make it personal and meaningful.
These ideas show how versatile fabric crowns can be, turning them into more than just a craft—they become part of your holiday memories!
I can’t wait to show you how easy and enjoyable they are to make!
5 ways to make a fabric Christmas Crown
Simple Christmas Crown
A quick and easy festive craft for Christmas.
- Simply download our free crown template HERE.
- Print or trace out the design onto paper.
- Use this as a template to cut out your crown shape from your choice of fabric (or you can use thick wrapping paper too if you don’t sew)
- Felt, patterned or plain leatherette or glitter fabric is great as it is festive, easy to work with and doesn’t fray at the edges.
- Finish with a length of elastic sewn at each side to fit your required head size.
Add embellishments
Add to your simple crown with embellishments such as;
- Ribbon
- Trim
- Decorative Machine Stitching
- Cut out felt or glitter shapes – such as stars
- Sequins/Beads
- Motifs
Overlay
Place some decorative netting over your felt as an overlay, to create a decorative effect. Or underlay a different colour of felt or leatherette at the back to create a two tone effect.
Scrap Buster
The Christmas Crown pattern can also be used with your leftover Christmas fabric to create a scrap buster crown with leftover fabric you already have.
- Cut your fabric scraps into strips and lay across the crown template.
- Attach to a felt backing with Heat and Bond
- Sew together
Embroidery
If you love a bit of hand stitching, adding an embroidered letter or Christmas details such as stars is a fantastic way to personalise your crown.
