DIY Tiara (Free Pattern) Instructions:
Step 1 – Cut Out the Pieces Using the Free Tiara Pattern
Once you’ve gathered all your materials it’s time to cut out the elements.
Using the free SVG or pdf pattern provided cut out 2 of the DIY tiara from felt (this will be the interior and exterior).
Then cut out 1 of the interfacing.
note
If you’re making it out of craft foam or cardstock you’ll just need to cut 2 of the tiara
For the fabric DIY Tiara cut two 10.5 inch strips of fold over elastic.
For other materials cut a 2 inch by 12 inch strip to place the tiara on the head.
Step 2 – Assemble Your FELT DIY TIARA
If you aren’t sewing the tiara, you can skip this step.
Time to make the tiara sandwich.
Place the interfacing (glue side down) and iron onto one of the felt exterior pieces. Center it so there is a border all around the interfacing.
Next line up the other exterior piece on top of the piece with the interfacing. .
Quick Tip
If the tiara isn’t lining up, flip the outer piece over.
Step 3 – Sew and Secure the Tiara Pieces
Pin the tiara together.
Quick Tip
Pin at each of the tiara points and ends to keep things from shifting. Using an edging foot, sew around the tiara.
Step 4 – Embellish Your DIY Tiara with Gems or Decorations
Using a glue gun, glue on embellishments. I opted for some jewels but you could use a number of things. For the felt you can use HTV, embroidery, beads, jewelry charms, buttons, etc. Just look around your house or junk drawer – I bet you can find everything your need!
Step 5 – Make your tiara wearable
Now that you’re done decorating it’s time to add the elastic to the back so you can wear it.
Sew the elastic strips to the inside of the tiara on either side. Place the DIY tiara on your head and let your inner queen shine.
