Have you always wanted to have a different hairstyle? Then give yourself a makeover with this DIY and create a beautiful hairstyle with leaves and flowers. There is nothing better than making diys with leaves and this arts and crafts activity is perfect for a rainy day and for creative kids!

What you need;

  • White or colored paper
  • Pencils, crayons or markers
  • Scissors
  • Leaves and flowers
  • Glue

1. Draw yourself and/or your friends

Who do you want to give a new haircut to first? Do you want to give your friends a new hairstyle, or do you want to make your own new hairstyle? No matter who you choose, the first step is to draw a face. You can do this on a sheet of paper. First, make a big, round circle and draw the facial features of the person in this circle. Pay attention to what color eyes they have, if they have freckles, and don’t forget to draw a beautiful smile! Once you’ve drawn the face, you can go ahead and cut the face out with a pair of scissors.

Tip: Use a pot as an outline for the head. This way, you can easily make a perfectly round head for the face.

Tip: Parents or babysitters should oversee or help with cutting out the face. Using scissors can be unsafe for young children.

Lay the cut out face on a new piece of paper. This can be a white piece of paper or any other color for some contrast! Place the leaves and flowers around the face until you’re totally satisfied with the new hairstyle you created!
