The little cage has a loop on top, and the bird has one at the back. They  look really pretty with a few added beads on a suede thong or string of seed beads.

A bonus is the FREE chain they come with measuring 70cm.

Beads for Tiara Making

February 2, 2011 at 10:07 am | Beads, jewellery making

February is the busiest time of year for Tiara makers with all those Spring weddings coming along.

Simple beaded Tiara Band

It’s easiest to start learning about Tiara making by starting with a simple beaded Alice band like the one shown on the left. You will need a few Swarovski Crystals, some wire (26 guage is easiest to use) and a headband.

We sell a Tiara making kit which includes all these plus illustrated instructions.
