Making a cardboard tiara begins with sketching your desired tiara shape on cardboard. For precision, fold the cardboard in half and draw half the tiara, then cut it out while it’s still folded to ensure symmetry. Unfold to reveal a perfectly symmetrical tiara. Optionally, enhance with gems, glitter, or paint for a royal touch. Secure the ends together to fit the wearer's head, using staples or tape. For a more durable option, reinforce with another layer of cardboard.
