Tiara for Donata


When Donata asked me to make a tiara for her, I was in a slight panic. I was clueless on how to make one or where to get materials, all I knew was that it was just a glorified headband, period.

But after a few searches on the net, I saw how easy it is to make one. And being one who likes beating a challenge, I decided to experiment. I used my own pink silver headband to do this one because I couldn't find a base headband to use in some of the bead shops/textile shops I go to. Then using 0.5 mm nickel wire, I strung crystals and pearl around the headband in the pattern shown in the picture.

It was soo easy I decided to make more of these later. Heck, I'll probably make one for myself that I can wear even on ordinary days.. Yipee!!
