  2. Small 115723 2f2017 01 23 203932 img 1944

    Create a paper template in a simple leaf shape that you like and trace around it as many times as you can onto the back of the leather.

    Cut out the leather leaves.

    Tie the embroidery thread to the base of one side of the headband.

    Thread the embroidery floss onto a needle and stitch through the first leather leaf, knotting it to the headband.

    Then stitch up the leaf, in the design of a stem and attach the top of the leaf back to the headband.

    Add a few stem lines at either side of the leaf.

    Attach the second leaf below the first, jutting out to one side and repeat the stitches similar to the ones you made on the first leaf.

    Continue adding leaves in the same way until you're happy with your design. You can cover the whole hairband like I did or just half for a more asymmetrical design!
