  • Wrap the wire frame with green floral tape and use strong adhesive to keep it in place. To decorate the tiara we are going to quill flowers with the quilling tool.

✪ Flower one

  • Take the orange strip and coil it then loosen the coil and pinch it to form a petal. With the tool, bend the petal in half to make the outer colour. Then we take white coloured strip to repeat the process and paste the petal inside the red petal. Then border the petal with white strip to secure it.
  • Similarly, make four more petals, paste them together and put a half pearl in the centre of the flower to complete it. Make a few flowers of the same kind.

✪ Flower two

  • For another type of flower take a half strip of purple and one fourth strip of yellow and coil it , making one loose coil from purple side, make a bended leaf shape. Make another bended leaf shape, join them together and wrap them in yellow strip to make a single petal.
  • Repeating this process make four more petals and make another flower with a half pearl at the centre. Make a few flowers of the same kind.

✪ Flower three

  • Take half strip of light blue and make a loose coil, again make two bended leaves of the same kind. Now take a dark blue coloured strip and make a tear drop shaped coil.

  • Similarly make three more petal and join them with the half bead in the centre to from the flower. Make few more of this kind of flower

✪ Quilt Bud

  • Take one strip of purple colour, make one tight coil, take the quilling mould and make a dome shape, make one more dome but put a pollen wire through it before you paste the two domes together to form a flower bud.
  • Now add some wired pollens to the bud and wrap them together with green tape to complete it.
  • Make total of 12 buds with four buds in each colour of the flowers that is blue, pink and purple.

✪ Stock fabric petal

  • Using the same process make 12 light green petals and 12 dark green ones

Now add buds and petals to the tiara by placing and wrapping them with green tape on the tiara base. Leave some gaps between the bud and the leaves because we will need to add the flower between them.

Keep adding buds and petals to the tiara until done; now using the glue gun add the flowers into place, the tiara is now complete.
