This Cardstock Amaranth Branch would be a fun, creative endeavour for any skill level, and if this project tickles your fancy — we highly encourage you to go for it. You'll trim and curl each strand, layering as you go until the texture becomes soft and full, almost like real blooms gathering weight and shape. And there’s such joy in watching your branch transform from simple paper strips into something lush and sculptural. Once you’re ready to get started, download the tutorial and let the adventure begin. And if you're loving the look and process of cardstock plant creation, we've got you covered.

Historically, amaranth is a symbol of enduring beauty, which is a powerful message this time of year. As nature falls back, rests, and recharges, there’s still much beauty and wonder to be found — especially in the quiet work of creating something new and exciting. Once finished, style a single stem for a clean, understated moment, or cluster a few for a dramatic, garden-inspired centerpiece. Let the rich tones and graceful drape play against seasonal greenery, magnolia leaves, or winter whites for a look that feels lush and timeless.

When your branch is complete, take a moment to appreciate your creative skills and artistry — that gentle movement, that magic — you did that. And of course, remember to share your Cardstock Amaranth Branch with us using #MadeWithLia so we can admire it too.
