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.
To create texture twist the wire while wrapping.
Cut 7 vertical spikes and roll the end on one side to curl.
Cover the vertical spikes with wire
Weave the shape of the tiara with wire
