Do It Yourself DIY created an easy to follow video to create a necklace of your own. First, opt for three colors you&#8217;d like to wear. In this video, she selected black, red and a light brown.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">First, get some paper, leather cords, metal rings, leather\u00a0fabric of three different colors.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Draw a leaf outline on the paper and cut it out with regular paper scissors.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Trace the stencil directly onto the leather and cut it out.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Repeat this step carefully on the different colored leather fabric.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Open a ring using a pair of pliers, and pierced the ring through the leather to attach it to the leaf. Close the ring, and repeat this step for each leaf design. You&#8217;ll need to create about four to seven leaves of each color for this project.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Next, you&#8217;ll create the necklace. Thread a cord through the rings, and make sure to put the leaf on the same color cord.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">When you&#8217;re finished, twist the cords together to form a rope shape, and then tie a knot to secure.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Repeat on the other side and then you&#8217;ve got it made! If there is a gap, add a few other leaves.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">For the last part, arrange the leaves together and hot glue them together in place.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Then, you&#8217;ll want to tie the ends of each cord and secure. You can also create decorative knots for an added twist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Of course, you could also create your own unique variation to this do it yourself project. Opt for contrasting colors, with gold, brown and red, just like the beautiful fall foliage outside. Or, go for a unique look by re-creating different shaped leaves.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">You could even add extra accents like beads, studs or spikes for an alternative approach. For another version, create a single strand necklace using different colored leaves and you\u2019ll be able to bring a beautiful sense of autumn with you, wherever you go.<\/div>\n<div
