Succulents are a highly desired primitive desert beauty, so bringing them into my paper flower collection was a must!
Despite the slightly different petal tips, you can make each of these succulents the same way. Let me share my supply list so we can get started!
– Paper succulent templates – Glue gun – Scissors – Cricut – Wood dowel – Distress ink and ink sponges – Floral wire
Begin by cutting out all your petal layers. Measurements are as follows: – 1st – 3 x 3 inches – 2nd – 2.5 x 2.5 inches – 3rd – 2.2 x 2.2 inches – 4th – 2 x 2 inches
Fold all the petal points up; this is going to give the succulent depth. You can try to make it, so all the petals flow the same direction for a cleaner look.
The next step is to begin layering. Try not to stack them directly but have the petal alternate, as shown in the 4th block above.
