Learn how to make an easy paper spider plant that won’t die because you forgot to water it! 

The calendar says it’s spring, but the snow on the ground still says winter! I’m tired of waiting for it to warm up so I can plant something, so it’s time to make it happen myself … with paper! And the best thing about making paper flowers and paper plants is you can’t kill them because you forgot to water or fertilize them. This is a particularly big deal for me. I’m great at the planting, not so great at the watering. So let me show you how to make this super cute paper spider plant! Get the free SVG cut file for this project

Step 2: Prepare and cut your paper plant pieces

You’ll want to use a medium weight cardstock for this project as it is a nice weight that is easy to curl and gives a nice shape.

Place your cardstock on a green StandardGrip cutting mat.

Load your fine-point blade into your Cricut machine and press the flashing button to begin your cut. 

Step 3: Paint striations up the plant leaf

Starting at the bottom, use some white paint to paint a thin line going up the center. It doesn't have to be perfect, there's always some imperfections in nature. You also don't need to use too much paint as you want a little of the green to show through. Feel free to even water down your paint a little to thin it out.

Keeping painting until you reach the tip of the leaf.

Step 4: Form your leaf

Take your floral wire, and carefully cut it down to about 2"-3".

Take one leaf and pinch the base, creasing the middle; this is where your floral wire will eventually sit.

Place a dollop of glue inside the crease and set just the tip of your floral wire inside the glue to set.

Using a marker, gently curl the ends of your leaves to form a soft curve

Do this for all remaining leaves.

Step 5: Prepare your planter

Find your planter, Spanish moss, and floral ball. Place the floral ball inside your planter.

Take your Spanish moss and gently place it over the floral ball.

Arrange the Spanish moss so it covers the floral ball completely.

Step 6: Place leaves inside your planter

Take your planter and your leaves, and carefully stick each leaf through the Spanish moss, making sure to catch the floral ball

Place your leaves in a circle, using the bigger leaves first.

Continue filling in your leaves until your planter looks full.

After filling in any holes with your extra leaves, you're finished! Enjoy the easy paper spider plant you just created!
