Yeah, me too! Bigger pics! I happen to have 2 "princess" granddaughters of my own, and they would fall over in a faint for something like that!

AHA! I clicked on them - the first one didn't get bigger in photobucket, but the 2nd one did. Gorgeous! Can I ask - is the basic frame maybe something like clothes-hanger wire, wrapped in silk or sateen? Very inventive of you.

Tom:) lol
This is a pitiful attempt for me not to be so dang bored today.
I love yard sales and I have vast qualities of bead from when I make bracelets. I like to use natural stones. But i saw these little headbands in a yard sale and I bought up about a dozen of them. Then I had some gauze ribbon I got at Joann's one time for a dollar a roll. I had the idea to wrap them with stones. I tried using 26 gauge wire first and it was too sloppy looking and I was afraid it might stick them in their head so then I used some of my fireline which is a fancy word for fishing line. And then i just started wrapping and stacking and filling.
Thank you for being so sweet and I could make a mud pie and Jo would say it was wonderful cause she is so kind:)
I am gonna try to make them a little bigger but I mus tell you I am not too technical I am artiste:) lol

lol yall are so dang funny. this is basic, basic stuff.
its not even enough stuff to do to make a tutorial.
I take a head band and wrap it with gauze ribbon if you dont like the color of it. Then you need a base of beads, like on the pink one, I used rose quartz chips, string a line about as long as you want it to run along your headband and wrap it on the headband. Then I run a line of pearls across the front, ,then wrap those around the quartz and the headband, then you got to have sparkle. Princesses love sparkles:) So run another line with crystals or anything that sparkles. YOu can go back and add beads if you have a space. Thats it:)

The oldest one is 8 and she is into peace signs:) lolol She has finally outgrown princess gowns. She kinda acted like she wants one and I might make her one later on.
My daughter said my smallest grandbabies treat their tiaras like precious jewels:) LOL
Makes my heart feel good:)
