Orderly tiaras

For a while now we've wanted to find a better way of displaying all our tiaras in a more presentable way. We have had them laid out on tables, but they just looked messy. Then we had tiara stands (they looked a bit like something that would have sunglasses on - but wooden) but they were impractical for side piece tiaras, as they wouldn't balance properly. We needed something a bit prettier, perhaps to tie in with our purple colour scheme, overall something a bit more presentable.

THEN, Carole had a brain wave. We needed a wall of tiaras. But how? It would have been ideal to be able to push the tiaras onto columns to just show the detail, and so they didn't stick off the wall too far. So work started on creating our new Tiara stand.

We acquired pipes which were roughly the
right size and then padded them out.

A long and painful process... 

Testing was carried out to decide how many
columns we could fit in.

We then hand sewed on the purple fabric,
 to match our colour scheme.

The finished stand in situ which is working well and pleased we made it.

 

A close up view. This has now got our tiaras in easy view and separated into
Reduced/Central/Asymmetrical for easy selection.
