Directions:

1. Take one tinsel stem, tuck end over, and shape into an arc. Tuck the other end over.

2. Take another tinsel stem and fold it in half.

4. Thread the first stem through the hole of stem #2.

5 Take the 2 loose ends of stem #2 and wrap them around stem #1 (see illustration).

6. Shape the two strands of stem #2 into the shape of a heart and stand them upright on stem #1.

7. Tuck the ends of tinsel stem #3, and shape into an arc like stem #1. Place it under stem #1. Stems 1 and 3 the base of your tiara.

8. Thread needle with upholstery thread.
