Festival // DIY Gold Leaf Crown

Here’s a little DIY gold leaf crown inspired by this months talk of the town, Coachella. It would be perfect for a little flamboyant partying, fancy dressing or a festival or two! I’ve been wanting one for a while now, just so I could walk around like a boss. A roman boss.

It’s super easy, it takes a little time but you’ll look great with one draped across your head. You could even go a little more subdued and make a leaf or two to add to a hairband or clip!

You will need :

• Faux leather trim (I got this from my local haberdashery, you can also find it on etsy)  
• Velvet ribbon
• Scissors
• A pencil
• A leather needle & thread,
• A sewing machine (optional)

1. Mark and cut out the leaves. I cut out a few notches on either side to add texture to each leaf.  2. (Optional) With a leather needle on your sewing machine, sew a few veins onto the leaves. Alternatively, you could use a pen instead to mark out the veins. 3. Sew the leaves onto the velvet ribbon, hiding the stitches behind the last leaf.

That’s it you’re done! Please do send me a picture, tweet, facebook or instagram me up if you make your own version! I would love to see them!
