Back when K was little i bought plain plastic headbands then covered and embellished them...As i had to hand sew everything on they did take an age to make...Other mums at the mother and toddler groups liked them so i made for them as well or made and donated to coffee mornings etc to raise funds...I've been thinking for a few years that it's not that great a leap of faith to progress from those headbands to doing simple tiaras...I say simple because quite frankly some of them are so over the top and have some much on them i think they look way too much...Besides it ties in nicely with wire & bead jewellery in a way don't you think???? Am off down to John Lewis quickly or elsewhere in town to buy some cheapy fabric paints or crayons...May look and see if they have tiara bands and try it out...The headbands and hairslides and hairpins i used to do would look pretty on a flowergirl....Hmmm like i said yesterday i have too many ideas and don't put into practise...I need to get disciplined again and get them down on paper or samples done and DO something about selling them.
Stuart i will be doing a card for you and J i've just been slow because it was hurting too much :o( Next week i am going to fight this pain barrier come hell or high water and get things done

I think simple tiaras would look simply lovely on little bridesmaids. Good idea. I have dropped you an e-mail. Hope your pain feels better soon.
The tiaras sound fab, I really hope the pain is better soon, it is reallt dragging on isn't it
Caff you have so many good ideas the tiara's should really do well ~ would love to see a picture when you finish one ~ Hope the pain goes away ~ Ally x
Hi Cath :o)
hope the aches are a bit better.
When my daughter married 3 years ago the shop she had her dress from had some hand made tiaras in. They were asking really silly money for them and to be honest we both looked at them and said we could have made far better ones oursleves. So you go for it and give it a whirl.
Good luck for Monday and love to K xxx
