Arwen's Butterfly Crown in
wire & beads
Based on your pattern, I have worked out a way to make a Butterfly
Crown of glass beads. I thought it would be more simple to do it that
way -and it was- but it took almost as much time as the sheet metal
crown. However, you do not need as many supplies. I think this
is quite easy to make, even for somebody with only few skills.
I started with the side pieces using the measurement of your crown
pattern, then made the front piece and fixed it between both side pieces.
Last I created a butterfly between the ends of the sides because this is the
best way to get the size right. I tried to use your pattern for the
back as well but it did not work for this method. Instead of beading lines I
used real metal chains.
