ALL HAIL THE GREAT PUMPKIN

Hi guys, welcome to my another instructable. Today I just thought to make an applique which can be used for many purposes. This applique can be made within 15 mins and is best suited for last minute DIY's. Here I have attached the applique to a hairband and a hairclip to show you some examples .This applique is fun and easy to make and is best suited for beginners. So lets get started.
