A Tiara for little princess

Step 1:
Count out the number of 4 mm MC Bead Rounds in White Opal around the circumference
according to your design (according to how many wire arcs, teardrops and gaps). Pass the
wires through the gaps between the beads.

Step 2:
String the 4 mm MC Bead Rounds in White Opal onto about 1.50 m of the 0.35 mm
binding wire (here is used 59 pieces), place them on the headband and wind the binding
wire around them between the beads.

Step 3:
Cut 0.60 mm of binding wire, 2x 0.60 m for the side arcs and 1 m for the centre.

Step 4:
Start with the central White Opal “teardrop”, continue with the side teardrops, the largest
arc and the central and lowest arcs made from MC Rounds in Pink Sapphire. The larger
the arc, the larger the size of beads is used. Complete this by winding the wire around the
headband under the arc.

Step 5:
Add the side sections. Begin with the teardrop made of White Opal MC Rounds which is
arched towards the centre, continue with the next one and then do the last one. Wind both
ends of the wire around the headband.

Step 6:
Add the coloured teardrops strung on the thin binding wire. Pass them through the gaps
between the beads on the headband and cross the wires in the internal section of the
headband and twist them so that entire stringing is tightened.

Step 7:
Reinforce the tiara using the 0.35 mm binding wire. Connect the adjacent stringings on the
individual wires at several points.

Step 8:

Prepare the flowers according pictures above. Use five coloured MC Rondelles. String
them onto the 0.35 mm binding wire and secure them with a 10° rocaille. Add the central
bead and attach it to the tiara’s headband.

Step 9:

Add an MC Flower to the tiara. Secure the 0.35 mm binding wire using an 8° rocaille and
attach it.
