![]() ![]() Obviously if you’re planning on wearing it, you’ll need a bigger bit of paper than that! Giftwrap paper works well.ĭiagrams for the Traditional Origami Crown are available from many places – but the one I’m going to recommend is my book! Origami Made Simple is available from Amazon here either as a paperback or an ebook. A 15cm sheet of kami will do fine, and will produce a crown that is just over 5cm (about 2in) tall, and has a diameter of 7cm (2.75in). It’s a crown, so obviously some metallic paper would be good. It takes less than five minutes to fold and you can use any paper. There are no complicated moves in this design – not even a reverse fold! If you can fold a piece of paper in half, you can make this model. This is a very simple model, derived from a blintz base. Please see disclosure for more information. Note: This post contains affiliate links. The two models I’m featuring here are a Six-pointed Crown designed by Christiane Bettens, and the Traditional Origami Crown, with only 4 points. With the crown passing from Queen Elizabeth II to King Charles III, people might like to fold an origami crown – either as a moment of personal reflection, or maybe kids in school, learning about a significant moment in the nation’s history. This does seem an appropriate point to talk about two of my favourite crown models. Rest in Peace Ma’am, and thank you for a lifetime of service. There are other people more qualified than me to comment on her reign, so I’ll just say this: – Queen Elizabeth II, 21 April, 1947 Queen Elizabeth IIĪs I write this, it is a little over 24 hours since the announcement of The Queen’s passing. “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” ![]()
