Crowns of Saint Titmous were made out of platted wheat, straw, or perhaps grass stalks. They were given to the winners of the various games and activities played throughout Kondaybis.

Those who won such events would usually wear their crowns for many days. As a nod to the fun and merriment of Kondaybis, peasants and other workers would bow and say things like, “make way for Lord Quoit”, “all bow for Lord Niddy Noddy”, or “after you Lord Kondaybis” to anyone wearing their Crown of Saint Titmous. However, if a week or more had passed, it was considered bad form to continue to don the wheaty symbol and it would become a game to knock off the crown from the head of the wearer. A successful crown removal would result in a cheer from the onlookers. Kondaybis fame was short lived.

It is believed that smaller crowns were placed on turnips with carved faces. Unlike the faces carved in turnips for Halloween, the Titmous Turnips would have happy smiling faces. It has been proposed that, particularly in Ireland, the same turnips were used to make their Stingy Jacks or Jack 'o' Lanterns by scraping away the mouldy parts around the mouth and eyes to form new spooky faces.
