DIY Velvet Holly Leaves for Christmas | Vintage Millinery Techniques

Milliner makes silk velvet holly leaves for Christmas decorations. I'll be using flower tools for these leaves, but you don't have to have them - a household iron will do the same thing. You can choose to use these holly leaves as house decorations, hat trims, on hat pins or on hair combs. → Follow me ← Instagram: @byilonamillinery Website: https://www.byilona.co.uk → Tools & Materials ← 0.4mm cotton covered millinery wire Silk viscose velvet Ruler Soap (or your chosen fabric marking method) fabric scissors Baking paper bond-a-web Iron Small sharp scissors Flower making tools (double sided knife tip) (optional) → Millinery Techniques Covered ← Making velvet holly leaves.
