Does anyone have a supplier for sterling tiara bands, or advice on making your own? (thickness of wire, shape of wire, what do you form it round)
Thanks

Hi Em
the only place i can think of at the mo is [url=http://www.mailorder-beads.co.uk] i know i have seen them elsewhere but for the life of me just cant remember or if you are making your own i would suggest 1mm flat wire x 3mm wide, i have a magazine somewhere with tiaras in i will have a look and see if there are any supply details in it but most of them seem to be plate
yes i am afraid the bands i use arent sterling either sorry

I want to learn so much, and i want to know it all NOW!!!:p
One day i will arrive
A huggle a day makes the bad stuff go away
Most of the magazines/books I have ever seen them in make the band itself from copper based silver/gold plated wire
I think it would be cheaper to make them yourself as the mail order beads ones are £10 each
Em, bearing in mind that I might be talking out of my backside here, I think I would be inclined to make my own using flat wire rather than use silver plate.

Thats what I have found, everyones seem to be plate. But do you form them round something to get the size/shape right??
