I went on the Beginners Tiara Making course at the London Jewellery School today, taught by Gail Florio:
It was fun getting to play with all the Swarovski crystals and pearl beads. We learnt how to measure and make a tiara to fit, how to make and attach fans, trees and flowers, wire twisting, and decorating hair clips and combs. I also learnt a bit more about what you can do with wires of different thickness.
You can use the materials they have in the class and you can also bring along your own components to add to a tiara. The lady next to me was creating a tiara for a family member and had brought along a stunning brooch which was incorporated onto the side of the tiara along with diamantes.
I made a tiara, 2 hair combs, and a couple of hair grips:
These are beautiful, you must be really pleased with the results. Can't wait to see what you do next.
