Hello Naergi,
My question is: Do you know how to make those velvet cushion things that they put under tiaras and crowns so they do not hurt the scalp? The ones I notice are usually on real and reproductions of British and British aquired tiaras. You can see them on the tiaras at:
http://royalexhibitions.co.uk/queens-jewels/queens-tiaras/
They use the color brown, but I would like white or dark blonde. I would like to learn how to make one myself.
Thank you,

Actually, those things in the pictures on the website you’ve linked to aren’t ‚velvet cushions‘. It’s just that the tiara base has been wrapped with pipe cleaners – you can see that very well at some of the ‚end‘ pieces of the tiaras (those that would end up at the back of the head)! *lol*
So if you want to make those, well, I’ll just call them scalp protectors, yourself, I suggest to get some pipe cleaners in the color of your choice and start wrapping 😉
