I’m still not 100% certain of what my Halloween costume will be on Saturday, but I know it will involve this spooky tiara doodah I made today. It’s still wet, which is why this isn’t going to be a fancy tutorial. And I’ve rushed the pictures because I’m running out of Halloweeny time.
Things You Need to Make an Easy DIY Halloween Tiara
- Garden wire or similar.
- Masking tape.
- Cheap headband.
- PVA glue.
- Black tissue paper.
- Glitter glue.
Get your headband and the wire.
Do some twiddling of the wire around the headband.
I think it helps to do a couple of feet of wire at a time to avoid tangles. Bend the wire into crooked shapes.
Get busy with some masking tape. This creates a better shape without overdoing the paper mache stage.
Mix PVA glue with some water, and glue torn up bits of black tissue paper to the tiara. This might not strictly be paper mache, but it’s what I call it.
I blasted mine with a hair dryer to dry it more quickly. I’m not sure if this is a good idea, but I did it anyway. Splodge on some glitter glue and leave to dry. Job done.
Happy Halloween!!
