Hopefully the instructions make sense, it was difficult to describe what I did. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask, I will answer them to the best of my abilities... P.S. In step four, the red in the picture means it is behind the wire and the blue means it's in front. I hope that helps! Enjoy!

The very first step is to take your (bendy) hanger and untwist the top. Once you have done that, take the hanger and put it centered on your leg. Bend the hanger around it, then put it around your head. Continue bending it until it fits nicely. (the only part that needs to fit is the bottom wire)
Now that it fits your head, press down on the end of the hanger to make it a bit smaller. The more you press it together, the smaller it will be. If the size suits you, then move to the next step. Now you will take the top wires and bend it so that it is almost as rounded as the bottom. Then press it together in the center front to create a triangle. Cut off the hanger tops.
To connect the two ends you just created, take a bead and slip both ends in it. This will keep it together. Now the basic form is ready!
Decorate and embellish your tiara however you want. This is what I did; I took a more bendable piece of wire and created a heart. Start by have the wire in front, once it's at the top bend it behind the top wire, create the dip, go back up in front and then behind the top wire and back to the front bottom. Twist the ends around.
I twisted some additional wire around it and then, Voila! A beautiful tiara!
