I have made some tiara's for a friends wedding, and found I really enjoyed it and want to make more, as I have no more friends getting married I thought I could make them to sell them on Ebay etc.
I need a little help though, if you don't mind. I want to make vintage style tiara's and jewellery and I like the idea of incorporating things into the tiara's e.g. old brooches or broken bits of jewellery that brides want to wear on there wedding day but can't find anything else to do with them.
But I don't want to rely on getting items from brides as I want a portfolio if work to start with. But I am not sure where to get some vintage things from. Do you think I could find a wholesaler of vintage brooches / beads etc or would I need to spend my time getting real vintage things from ebay?
Also, any tips on attaching these items to the tiaras?
Thank you very much for your help.
