With a 24 gauge silver plated wire, cut strips measuring five to seven inches each. Place the bead or pearl into the wire strip. Close the strip by folding the wire in half and twisting the ends together. Add more beads or pearls to the wire strip, changing the distance between the beads depending on the design.
When the strip is finished, attach it to the headband by twisting the end. Do the steps over with the next strips until you have finished your design. In order for the tiara to stay on the bride’s hair and not fall off, attach hair combs to the edges of the headband in a downwards direction. Add more pearls, crystals or beads when needed.
