Make your own: Leaf crown DIY
















Hello lovely people! This post is later in the week than I'd planned, but such is life! I've given it my best shot, but I'm not all that good at explaining things. I used this diagram/video to learn how to do the knot, it's very helpful! It took me a good few tries before I got the hang of it. This make was inspired by Kristen and her very own leaf crown. I bought my string for 50p from Wilkinsons. If you'd like to see how I wore the crown, click here. Below are a few of the photos I took of my littlest sister Indigo, and my little sister Phoebe wearing the crown. How pretty!



What do you think, will you be giving it a go? :)

  1. What a cute idea! I honestly have never thought of using leaves this way, it's a shame that they just rot away when they are such beautiful autumnal tones. I could see the crown being used as an accessory on a fashion editorial! xxx

  8. This is so cool, it would look really good draped across the top of a fireplace shelf or along the bottom of a windowsill. :)
