Paper succulents are a great way to add a touch of life to any room or office without having to worry about maintenance and upkeep. With the help of a Cricut cutting machine, anyone can create their own paper succulents in minutes. Here’s how you make paper succulents on a Cricut:
Step 1: Gather your materials. To create your paper succulent, you will need some cardstock, tissue paper and glue. You will also need any type of adhesive that is suitable for use with cardstock such as double sided tape or glue dots.
Step 2: Design your succulent. The first step is to design your succulent in the Cricut Design Space. Select the shapes you want to use for your succulent and then arrange them in the way you want them to look when complete.
Make sure that each shape is connected together and that all pieces fit within the cutting mat area so they can be cut out accurately by the machine.
Step 3: Cut out the shapes for your succulent using the Cricut machine. Place the cardstock onto a cutting mat, select “cardstock” as the material type and then press “go” on the machine to let it do its work. Once cut out, remove each piece from the mat and set aside for later use.
Step 4: Add color to your succulent pieces using tissue paper or other decorative papers of your choice. Cut out small pieces of tissue paper in various colors and shapes such as circles, triangles or squares and then glue them onto each piece of cardstock that was cut out earlier with adhesive dots or double sided tape.
Step 5: Assemble all pieces together into one cohesive unit by connecting them with adhesive dots or double sided tape making sure everything fits together properly.
Step 6: Place it into a pot or container of choice (optional). You can also add other decorative items around it such as rocks, moss or sand.
