With so much greenery from trees and garlands this time of year, I thought it would be fun to make a simple festive headband. We used Eucalyptus leaves from a garland we just bought, but you can use any greenery you have laying around (or foraged from outside!). I think it makes a really pretty touch for a holiday outfit.

Here’s how to make one…

Supplies: Headband (we wrapped ours in ribbon first), scissors, greenery, floral wire

Directions: Take medium size (4-5 inch) greenery sections and wrap around the headband with floral wire. Start with one side and work your way to the other. Leave about 2 inches of exposed headband on either side. Add smaller pieces in at the end to even it out.

Eucalyptus leaves dry nicely so this one should stick around for a while as long as June’s two year old sister keeps away from it…
