Warning: there is no food to be found in this post. Sorry. But I do promise to deliver absolute and total cuteness. Hope that makes up for it!
I am not a crafty person. I rarely have any “projects” going on, despite the fact that I am a creative, artsy type. But once in a while something catches my eye that I simply must do.
A tiara for the more courtly princesses.
As you know, Anna recently hosted a “Hello Kitty Glamour Party” for her birthday. As we prepared for the party, she said to me, “Make sure everyone wears glamour stuff to my party, mama.” I decided I could help Anna’s guests out by providing them with some lovely tiaras. But lovely tiaras are surprisingly hard to come by.
One of the benefits of editing DailyBuzz Moms is I get to read oodles of fabulous blog posts about oodles of fabulous topics. One of these such posts came from Joy’s Misadventures. Joy described how she put together her daughter’s Halloween costume, complete with a homemade tiara that was the prettiest little tiara I ever did see.
A tiara for the more whimsical, pixie-like princesses.
I emailed Joy, found out where she got the stuff, and ordered the supplies straight away! With my Hobby Lobby floral wedding beads and headbands from Target at the ready, my friend Amy and I sat down and got creative. (Please note: I made two tiaras. Amy made seven. That is friendship.)
Every tiara was unique, whimsical, adorable. I couldn’t have been happier with the result. And they were EASY to put together. Just wrap the wire around the headband. Done! Thank you, Joy, for the inspiration!
Party tiaras all in a row.
You’re welcome for making all of your tiara dreams come true.
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
I love how you did yours. the funny thing, I didn’t plan on making one. I just saw all of the materials. Yours is just adorable.
thanks joy! and I’m so glad your brain saw the materials and threw it together – it’s seriously such a cute idea!
I don’t think Elizabeth has taken it off since the party. She has worn it to school, wore it on Christmas, and has it on at least once a day. She loves it!!! Thanks Anna for having a “glamour party” and Jane for stealing Joy’s idea and sharing!
I am SO happy to hear that, alison! so cute!!!
so sweet! This brought back a memory of a birthday party I went to when I was a little girl. It was at a rollerskating rink. The mom had made us all sparkly headbands with tons of curly ribbon hanging off both ends of the headband. I felt so special in my headband. I wore it until it eventually fell apart.
that is so cute…thanks for sharing!
I love this idea…so cute and actually easy to do!!
My 3 1/2 year old saw this and said “it’s gorgeous!”
these are just too cute! such a fun idea to do for a party!!!
have a super week!

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am a 37 year old princess. I have 2 tiaras (I wear them at blogging conferences as a means of marketing my blog!)
Now, I want one of these!! I have issues
My Little M turned 5 today and we are having her party next weekend. She said “Everyone must wear a dress.” We have several female family members who don’t even own a dress so I convinced her to amend her request. I wrote in the invite… Maddy would love for you to wear fancy attire, but she will be THRILLED to see you no matter what you wear!
ha ha! so cute…sounds like your maddy and my anna would be great friends!
