Cricut Felt Birthday Crown FAQs
Can you cut felt with a Cricut machine?
Yes! You can cut felt using a Cricut Maker with a rotary blade, or a Cricut Explore machine with a deep cut blade. Thinner felt (like Dollar Tree felt) works best on Explore machines.
Do you need a Cricut Maker to make a felt crown?
No, you can also use a Cricut Explore Machine with a deep cut blade. However, the Cricut Maker with a rotary blade will give you cleaner and more precise cuts.
What type of felt works best for Cricut projects?
Thin felt is easiest to cut, but thicker felt creates a more structured and high-end finish. You may need to cut thicker felt twice depending on your settings.
How do you make a birthday crown adjustable?
You can attach ribbon or elastic to the ends of the crown so it can be tied or stretched to fit different head sizes.
Can you make a birthday crown without sewing?
Yes! You can use strong craft glue to assemble the crown. Sewing or embroidery is optional but adds a more polished, durable finish.

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?
Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way. These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:
Cricut Easy Press
I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat-transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIYs so much easier! The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects. –>>Get the Cricut Easy Press here!
Cricut Easy Press Mat
If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉 –>>Get the Cricut Easy Press Mat Here!
Cricut Bright Pad
The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more. –>>Get the Cricut Bright Pad Here!
Cricut Cutting Mats
I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects. ->>Get the Cricut Machine Mat Variety Pack Here!
Cricut Tool Set
You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine. –>>Get the Essential Tool Set Here!
My favorite non-Cricut brand materials
You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:
- Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
- Siser HTV
- Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
- Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
- Felt sheets at local craft stores
Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!
