Tissue Paper Succulent

Tissue Paper Succulent

Posted 2016-04-30 by Stephanie follow
This paper succulent is a great craft to put up for Mother's Day. Forget about the flowers and make some paper succulent as gifts instead. I have seen fake succulent planters, but these are equally great as decorations or display. These are quite easy to craft and require only few materials at hand.

Time: 30 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Green tissue paper
  • Small flower pots (I used plastic ones)
  • Thin cardboard
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Ruler

  • Method
  • To make the base, trace and cut cardboard the size of the pot.
  • Cut 26 strips of tissue papers (17cm x 5 cm approximately).
  • Follow steps in the below photo: fold each strip in half, twist and fold over to form a leave.
  • Trim the loose side into a petal shape.
  • Start glueing the leaves, starting with 9 leaves. Repeat with 7 leaves, then 5, 3 and 2.
  • You might have to trim the last 2 leaves.

  • Place into pots and adjust the leaves. Your plant is ready.
