Whos a beading leafer?

I'm still on this tiara malarky :-)

DD (age 6) has been getting in on the act. Here is a pic of some leaves we made can you guess which ones she made?

I have all the flowers & leaves made now & just 2 more sets of sticky up bits to do then it is assembly time.

I found a way of making the flowers a little easier. A paintbrush. I made the bottom and the petals around the brush then closed the bottom up. So simple yet so effective. Yay

Tiara progress

I have been going on (as I do, lol) about making a tiara for ages. Not sure why, I think it's just an excuse to get out beads and wire. My lovely DH got me a tiara making kit for my birthday .... only he forgot to give it to me until 3 weeks later!!! Anyway, armed with beads, wire and a set of instructions I am on my way. Thought I would share my progress with you

Here is what I have done so far,

The band is prepared.
I've made some pretty sparkly bits can't remember what they were called really but you can see what I mean by the pic.
and I've made 2 flowers. I'm actually quite pleased with these. I'm pleasedest (it is a word, I'm sure it is lol) with the first one though. For some reason the wire doesn't seem to be as tight on the second. Maybe because I managed to break the wire on that one & had to start again made me nervous.





And here is a closer photo of the flower. The flash has caught the bead in the middle & made it disappear in the photo but it is there really and very, very sparkly
