A little DIY for you, my favorite readers.. xx
Supplies: Leather, embroidery thread, elastic headband.
Pantry Supplies: Needle, scissors, heavy duty glue (I used a heavy fabric glue).
Begin by cutting the leather into a small rectangle, roughly the size of the feather/ or leaf you want. Fold it in half, round the bottom and make the top a point. It should end up looking like an almond shape. Then, cut small, symmetrical slits on the sides. Round the bottom of each slit, making a slight gap. Repeat this process until you've cut out enough leaves for your headband. Then, sew stitching down the middle. I only did this step to two out of five pieces to give it a dose of character. Place them into the form you desire for your headband. To attach them to the band, stitch the base of each piece so that the thread will be hidden once they overlap. Top it off with a bit of glue on the tips so that they don't curl. Let it dry overnight and you've got yourself a headband all your own.
