Next up, attach a string of wood beads to the center of the leaf using simple twine. This really gives it a BOHO look and adds extra dimension.

You can trim the edges of the mop head to get the leaf shape we are going for.

Tie a simple knot at the end for hanging. To add even more interest, attach another string of wood beads to the top of the leaf. This is perfect for hanging on a door, lamp, wherever you want a sweet little touch of decor.
