- Parents making birthday party decorations sized for their child's age group
- Teachers or classroom parties needing a batch of hats or crowns in one size

How to make it
- Choose a shape — cone party hat, pointed crown, rolled paper lantern or spinning pinwheel
- For a hat or crown, measure head circumference (the party hat has Child, Tall and Mini cake topper presets, and the crown an Adult one) and set the height
- For a lantern or pinwheel, set the size you want it cut to
- Export as SVG for a cutting machine or a true-to-size PDF, then roll, slot or glue together as marked
Frequently asked questions
What head size should I use for a kids' party hat?
The Child preset starts at 480mm; measure around the head where the hat will sit and adjust to fit.
Does the crown need glue?
No — the crown is built in two halves that lock end-to-end with slits, so it goes together without glue and adjusts slightly to the head.
How does the paper lantern work?
It's cut as one slitted sheet: roll it into a tube, then gently push the ends together so the slits bow outward into the lantern shape, and attach the handle strip across the top.
