Making a tiara or a headband is very easy and it takes just an hour or two to do the job. For making a tiara at home, you will need the following supplies: floral wire, beads, wire headband, wire cutters and needle nose pliers.

Cut the wire headband in short pieces and then thread it in the beads till it gets settled in a proper angle. Pinch both the ends together. Now hold the bead in your hands and the pother end of the wire with scissors. Start twisting the ends of the wire along with the beads till it gets twisted tightly. Now leave both the free ends untwisted and cut them so that they become even. Trim the free ends upto 3/4th” in length. These ends can be wrapped around your headband when you wear it.

Once the antennae is ready, then start wrapping the free ends at the base of the headband and then the ends should be flattened with the help of the pliers on the headband. They appear bended and you can also straighten them or curve them. You can modify them accordingly to make it appear exactly the way which you want.

After this wrap a long wire on the band, put beads on it covering the base below the antennae. This will cover all the wire ends that are otherwise, seen. You can also add a viola to your homemade tiara for the sake of finishing and decorating it.
