Instructions for the DIY Autumn Leaves Headband: Fall Hair Ideas with an Autumn Color Palette:

Step 1: Prepare the Leaves

• Cut the leaves off the stem, leaving a small bit of stem attached for easier handling. Now they also have loose leaves, so you might able to skip this step, depending on your leaves.

Step 2: Start Gluing the Leaves

• Begin at the top of the headband. Pay attention to the colors. Glue a lighter leaf and a darker leaf in the middle to create interest and contrast. The combination of autumn colors you pick will make your headband stand out.

Step 3: Continue the Pattern

• Add two smaller leaves, alternating the autumn colors for a rich, layered effect. Continue gluing and alternating the colors down both sides of the headband until it is fully covered.
