Tiaras!!!

So a few months back I got this fantastic, amazing, wonderful idea to make and sell some jewellery.  I figured some gals (or guys) at cons or ren faires might enjoy some sparkly things that were not crazy expensive.  So I went out to my local craft megastore and hit up the clearance racks, and found some neat trinkets and such, and decided instead of turning them into the earrings they were meant to be, that they should be tiaras instead.

Well, I made the actual beaded parts and all using some wire cutters and basic findings along with some Crystazzi beads and round-nosed pliers.

And then put them in a box and forgot about them for a while because I didn't have any ribbon hanging around that they could be strung on.

I finally, FINALLY went out and got a few colors of ribbon, and strung them up yesterday, and I am really rather pleased with how they came out.  The pictures don't really do the sparkle justice.



Anyway, I figure they can be worn as necklaces or as circlets and are really just simple, fun little bits of jewellery.  They were a blast to make, and provided some instant gratification.  They took maybe ten minutes a pop!

Confession time: I had a really hard time parting with some of these!  I am totally keeping like 4 of them for myself because I just couldn't decide which one I loved the most!

Also, if anyone is interested in owning one, I have these and many, many more in other colors and a few other designs.  Let me know!
