Playing the part of Queen Esther for Purim is an honor and a privilege that your little girl will cherish forever. If your little princess is given the honor at the Purim celebration, you can make a lovely beaded tiara with her that is as beautiful as she is!

What You’ll Need

A headband
2 Pipecleaners
About 45 pony beads
Glue or Hot Glue Gun
Don’t forget to pick colors that will match her costume!

Instructions

1. Thread about half the beads onto the pipecleaners. Leave about an inch at the of each pipecleaner, depending on wide your headband is.
2.Wrap one end of the pipecleaner around the headband and twist to hold. Add glue to secure.
3. Make an arch wrapping the pipecleaner around the headband about 1-2 inches next to the end that is already wrapped around it. Push the beads together or remove a few to make space if necessary. Make three arches this way. Secure the points of contact with glue.
4. Wrap the end of the second pipecleaner around the first one in the middle of the arch. Push the beads aside so you can get right around the first pipecleaner. Repeat two more times, making two more arches. Alternative: Bring the edges of the second pipecleaner back down to headband and wrap them there instead of attaching them to the first pipecleaner
5. Secure all points of contact with glue.
6. Snip off any excess pipecleaner and enjoy!
