Materials:

– Metal Headband
– Wire (The thicker the better. I used 21 Gauge)
– Rhinestones
– Glue
– Pliers/ Wire cutter
– Gold Spraypaint (if your headband doesn’t match the wire)

Position the other end of the wire on the opposite side of the headband. (This will help the wire ear from falling over to one side.) Bend the wire and tighten. Repeat for the second ear.
