    Dan, I have never made a tiara but I know that you asked this
    question before so I will tell you what I would do. I would go to the
    library and look at old photos of the British monarchy to get some
    idea of what others have done. Once I had a grasp of basic shapes, I
    would start cutting paper patterns and trying them on and seeing what
    they look like in a mirror. I assume that you are male and are not
    intending to wear it yourself. This is where you have to either use
    your imagination or talk your wife/partern/mother/sister into
    modeling for you. I would probably use wire and not sheet for the
    construction. 

    I just used google images and it showed 20 pictures out of 5000.
    That would be quicker than the library. 

    for more help, you need to tell us more detail. How old is the
    person who will wear it, what is the hair style, what metal do you
    plan on using and how long will it be worn? (I wouldn't want to wear
    something heavy and hard on my head for very long.)
