DIY Dolce & Gabbana Tiara :)


You’ll need:



  • black velvet headband 
  • 15 – 20 assorted ceramic roses 
  • 8 – 10 assorted faux pearls 
  • 40 – 50 assorted pre-set rhinestones 
  • container or popcycle sticks
  • Handful of tooth picks
  • Crazy Glue


Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 or crazy glue doesn't matter, into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. I like to use a small amount at a time, as the glue tends to try quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a dollop of glue onto the back of the largest ceramic rose. 


Press the ceramic bead in the center of the headband. Hold in place, for about a minute, until the glue sets. It’s best to start in the center with the largest ceramic flowers and rhinestones, and then gradually add smaller adornments down the middle of the headband.


Continue adding beads and rhinestones along the middle. Then, add pearls and ceramic beads to the outer rows starting with larger pieces in the centre.


Create a pattern, alternating flowers and pearls.


Continue gluing pieces to the headband . . .


Have fun with the pattern – it doesn’t have to be symmetrical. There is no right or wrong way to do this!
