Wire Tiara

Wire band for the tiara

Twist two sections of wire together to create a circular band. With pliers bend the end sections to create hooks. This not only blunts the ends but also makes the tiara more versatile. It can now be worn as a circlet, around the head or on the forehead. Wrap the wire several times with copper wire until completely covered.

Cover the band with copper wire

To create texture twist the wire while wrapping.

Vertical spikes

Cut 7 vertical spikes and roll the end on one side to curl.
