In this chapter, I an going to show you how to make your very own paper succulents!
What You Need:
- Thick cardstock
- DecoArt Hauser Medium Green
- DecoArt Antique Green
- DecoArt White
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
How To Make:
1. Mix white paint with the greens, making various shades, some darker and some lighter.
2. Apply paints onto both sides of the paper, making sure the various shades of greens are visible; allow paper to dry.
3. Print template provided and cut the various sizes as indicated on template.
4. Cut a rectangle shape out of the paper, roll and secure end with hot glue.
5. Glue larger petals towards the bottom.
6. Continue to glue petals (larger to smaller) working towards the top, making sure you leave a visible stem in between each layer of petals. L
7. Add additional shading if needed. I added a very light outline of purple to make it more realistic.
Note: Study photos of real succulents and play around with the various shadings and purple tones that you naturally find in succulents.
