I’m not sure whose head they had in mind when they made these plastic tiaras, but they seem to draw blood from all of the heads in our house. I mean for fifty cents I don’t expect a custom fit, but it should at least not require a trip to the emergency room.
Since this was a gift, I hated to just throw it away. I thought I would experiment to see if I could find a way for my daughter to wear this thing comfortably.
Not too comfortably, though. I really don’t want to encourage the everyday use of a tiara.
Believe it or not, this thing actually had little tiny, plastic screws that held it together. Once I got those two screws out, the fancy part just came right off!
I just used two plain hair clips and hot glued the tiara to the pincher part of the clip. Be sure not to glue the tiara over the entire opening of the pincher, because then it won’t open and close.
Now it just clips right into her hair like barrettes and the little royal princess can play pain free!

You are so smart!! Love this idea…not that I have a princess at the moment, but maybe again someday! 😀
This is great! I always wondered about those crazy tiaras! How does anyone wear them? Now my girl can!
I know, aren’t they the most bizarre fit…for a doll or something 🙂
How clever! These would never stay in my daughter’s hair as is, so this is an absolutely perfect fix!
Yes, good!!
That’s genius! My daughter doesn’t mind wearing tiaras but they don’t stay on… perfect solution!
