Step 1: Cut your strands of pearls to separate the beads.
Step 2: Apply a small dot of glue to your larger pearl.
Step 3: Place the pearl on the bottom of the headband and hold for a few seconds to set.
Step 4: Alternate placing the small and large pearls on the side of the headband until you reach the quarter mark.
Step 5: Once you have covered the side of the headband with pearls, begin incorporating your gold beads and pre-set gems.
Step 6: Continue placing your materials on the headband until the entire surface is covered. Don't worry about messing it up — just cover as much of the headband as you can. More is more when it comes to D&G, after all.
Voilà! Beat that, Blair.
