Wedding Hairpiece

I have wanted to post about this for awhile. I was very excited by my successful DIY project. I made a headband of wire, pearls and Swarovski crystals. The above picture shows the headband before I attached a ribbon to it. In order to make it, I had to cut the wire to length as you can see in this picture:

As you can see, Livia became interested in the wire as well. She forced me to hurry the cutting process because she really wanted to steal that spool:

Here are the beads I used:

I twisted the wire around beeds to hold them about an inch apart on the headband. It took some practice and some patience but I like the final product. Here it is spread out:

I am excited to wear it as my "something new" on my wedding day.
