Fashionable tiara

DG‘s ode to Sicily in their fall collection was enchanting. I couldn't help myself wanting such a nice accesory with rhinestones, pearls, and the most darling little ceramic roses. It’s a DIY that is easily to reproduce with the right supplies, so .....

You’ll need:

·         a black velvet headband

·         15 – 20 assorted ceramic roses

·         8 – 10 assorted faux pearls

·         40 – 50 assortedrhinestones

·         a disposable container or popsicle stick

·         a handful of toothpicks

·         glue gun

Start by squeezing a small amount of glue into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. I like to use a small amount at a time, as the glue tends to dry quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a dollop of glue onto the back of the largest ceramic rose.

Press the ceramic bead in the center of the headband. Hold in place, for about a minute, until the glue sets. It’s best to start in the center with the largest ceramic flowers and rhinestones, and then gradually add smaller adornments down the middle of the headband.

Continue adding beads and rhinestones along the middle. Then, add pearls and ceramic beads to the outer rows starting with larger pieces in the center.

Create a pattern, alternating flowers and pearls.

Continue gluing pieces to the headband . . .

Have fun with the pattern – it doesn’t have to be symmetrical. There is no right or wrong way to do this!

 

That's all folks, you finish your tiara.You also can make a pair of earings or sunglasses on DG's style.
