Okey cc'er I am new here and I am trying my first tiara. I don't know if I made my RI right cause this is my first time making that also.
I figured I would try something new. I am in the process of waiting my first two hours. Wish me luck. ![]()
Furthermore I have been on here for a few day and I love the way you all come together as a family when someone is in need. So keep an ear out in case I have problems. Thanks
Welcome to CC! You need to post a pic of that tiara when your finished. I am sure your doing fine. If you have any questions along the way someone here is sure to have the answers. This is really a good group of people, with ALOT of knowledge. I just keep absorbing as much as I can. Have fun with your tiara!
Being that I couldn't get mine to stay in one piece (or even 6 - 7 pieces, for that matter), I can't really say what you should do - only what you shouldn't.
First - make sure there is no "lip" to try to go over with the tiara - I had 2 break this way.
Also, do not be impatient - let it dry COMPLETELY (1 broke this way).
After it has dried, and you take it off - if it breaks, put back together gently - too much pressure and another part breaks (all 4 did this!!).
And last, when I went to paint mine with luster dust mixed with vodka, I held it up and painted first one side and moved to center continuing to paint to other side - NOT a good idea!! It broke part way through and shattered on the one side.
I ended up using a crown from Walmart. Oh well - at least the cake was still pretty and the B-day gal loved it!!! ![]()
Good luck - I am very certain your tiara will turn out beautifully!!! Be sure to post pics!!
Well it is still going after two hours the first layer is still not dry so I have to give it a while longer. It is like almost a hundred degrees here in Georgia. So we keep at it. Thanks for the support. I will defenitally post the pic no matter how bad it looks. lol. ![]()
Just finished and am hoping it doesn't break. IMO it is beautiful.
At least I am happy with it. I have to let it dry fully before I try to remove it. Wish me luck. Thank you all for the support I would have scrapped it at the beginning if not for the encoragement. So Thanks again. Will post pics after it dries.
Sorry to disappoint everyone but it broke as soon as I tried to get it off the wax paper. But I figured out why. The outlines were too thin. So I just got to use a bigger tip next time. But I did it and that is all that counts for me. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it at all. So I am happy. Once again thank u all for the support and encouragement. Next time it will stay together. ![]()
