Put on the solid green long-sleeve shirt and matching green leggings to form the stem of the flower.
2
Construct or purchase your petal headpiece, ensuring the petals are stiff enough to stand upright around your face.
3
Attach the green felt leaf cutouts to your wrists or shoulders using safety pins or fabric tape.
4
Secure the petal headband comfortably on your head, using bobby pins if necessary to keep it stable.
5
Slip on neutral brown, black, or green shoes to complete the earthy, plant-like aesthetic.

Makeup & hair

Keep hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail or bun so the petal headpiece sits flat against your head. Apply bright eyeshadow to match your petals, and add a touch of green eyeliner for a fun botanical accent.
