TutuSchool Tiara and Headpieces Courses
Join us and learn how to create beautiful Crystal Tiaras that look like real diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The ones that will make those ready-made tiaras turn pale in comparison!
We teach basic, intermediate, and advanced-level tiara designs, with Swarovski® and Czech rhinestones by Tutu.com's Claudia Folts and NY Costume Designer, Catherine Zehr.
In addition to the designs listed below, we also offer a “Design Your Own Class.”
Prerequisites: In order to take Level Two Tiara classes you do not need to have taken a Level One class. The main difference between Level One and Level Two in tiaras is that in Level One, you will use pre-strung Czech chain rhinestones and in Level Two you will learn to wire your own rose montees, giving you better options as far as mixing colors in future projects. For Level Three and Four tiara classes, you must have completed a tiara the previous level.
Please Note: Since Catherine does not teach other classes at TutuSchool, she is happy to adjust the schedule to fit your needs. Want to make a tiara, but cannot fit it into your chosen schedule of other TutuSchool courses? Just let us know and we will design tiara time around your schedule -early mornings, later in the evening, whatever works for your schedule.
Tutu.com Courses are available for those attending TutuSchool. Cost for this course INCLUDES the class, the teacher, and materials.
