How to Make a Princess Tiara

A princess tiara is a classic headpiece design, usually highly decorated and ornately beaded. Certainly, this style of tiara can be purchased at many bridal, clothing and craft stores. But you also can create one at home. Making a tiara of your own design allows for a personal touch and offers a way to express your creativity.

Things You'll Need

• Tiara base
• Craft wire
• Beads
• Hot glue

Instructions

1. Wrap craft wire around a tiara base. The wires should be wrapped tightly enough so that the tiara base cannot be seen from a distance.

2. Attach eight craft wires to the tiara base. The wires, in the color of your choice, should be evenly spaced around the base.

3. Slide five beads onto the base of each wire. The beads should be a color that matches or complements the wires around the tiara base.

4. Place a drop of hot glue at the back on each bead to secure it in place. Let the tiara dry overnight.

5. Glue or wrap a larger bead at the end of each wire. Let dry overnight before wearing.
