Crystal Tiara




This is the finished Crystal Tiara. I stiffened the tatting with a PVA solution but after all the handling while assembling it lost some of it's stiffness. I then sprayed it with extra hold hair spray which seems to have done the trick. I also found that I had to clean the glue off the crystal beads while it was still wet and again when it had dried, but when I sprayed it with the hair spray the crsytals really sparkled!!

You can now get the PDF pattern to this tiara here.
