Ended 2013 Easter Hatch-a-long "Create a Chicken Tiara" Contest

Chick's DivaTiara

This is a very simple tiara that easy for even children to make. But very eggalent upon a chicken's head.
This is the finished product!!!




Note: Do not be afraid to read the instructions and tweak them to your taste. Use a colored pipe cleaner with contrasting beads, and different patterns.
First you are going to need one pipe cleaner of any color, One big diamond shaped bead, four small diamond shaped beads, florist wire, wire cutters, and lots of beads!

First pick a pipe cleaner. It should be twelve inches long.




Then take the pipe cleaner and fold it in half. Unfold it and bend the folded part into a 'v' sticking down.


Pick a few beads, and create your pattern. Make sure the beads are big enough to go on the pipe cleaner!



Add two to four beads depending on their size.



Set the pipe cleaner down and grab the wire. Unroll the wire 4-5 times.



Get your diamond and the wire half way.





Set diamond on the middle of a different wire. Bend wire and wrap ends of wire one on each side of diamond like this.



Add beads to on side of wire, attach end to bead farthest from 'v' and wrap the wire around the pipe cleaner until there's no more wire. Same with other wire.



Should look like this!



If you want you can add a ribbon to both side and add more beads.



Cut four peices of four and a half inches long to five inches of florist wire.




Add a diamond near the end and twist/wrap the end up the wire.



Add beads leave an inch of wire at the end.



Make three more and take the end of one and wrap it around the pipe cleaner until the wire's gone.



And your crown is complete! Now all you need to do is dress up your divas!

We all love our chicks!!


So why not make them a Nature Crown!! How to make a Nature Crown:
Supplies: piece of paper, pinecone, a few leaves, tape or glue, scissors



1. Cut partial triangles out until you have what looks like a crown or tiara that is flat.

2 Curl the flat tiara/crown until you have the size of your chickens head.

3. Tape it so it stays and you have a plain tiara/crown.



4. Tape one of the leaves in the little opening between two of the triangles on the crown or tiara. (Do this as many times until there is one leaf in each opening.)


5. Break off little branch like things off of the pinecone and tape one under each triangle.




This design can be either for a hen or rooster.



(I had to hold her, she wouldn't stop trying to jump on my leg!)
Thanks! Enjoy!

P.S. I copied and pasted it because I typed it in the Hatch a Long thread first and it looks kind of weird in this one. Just letting you know :)
