For instance, this beautifully updated Cardstock Snake Plant is a wonderful reminder to never stop growing in your skills. Though I love this version from seven years ago, we’ve definitely learned a thing or two since then! IF you like this project, check out some of the other amazing plant projects in our collection.

Become a MemberAlthough this project looks very complicated, it’s actually pretty simple and great for beginners. For this craft, feel free to use either your scissors or a cutting machine — either one is fine. When you’re ready to get started, just gather up your tools, download the template, and you’re all set.
Though they may appear tall, dark and handsome, Snake Plants, also known as, Mother-In-Law’s Tongue, are really neat plants. First, they are nature’s air-purifying champions. Also, they can weather any storm with stoic grace, making them a favorite among even the most forgetful plant parents. Their ancient roots whisper stories of resilience and beauty, from their use in medicine to their symbolism of good luck.
To create your Cardstock Snake Plant, you’ll need to unleash your inner Picasso, so come prepared to paint! To mimic the snake plant’s natural pattern, you’ll use your artistic touch to add depth and shadows to your leaves. Once your leaves are masterpieces, thread them onto floral wires and assemble them with a touch of glue. Arrange them with an eye for balance, recreating the elegant form of a real Snake Plant. Remember, there’s no right way – just let your creativity flow. Although this project looks very detailed it is pretty simple and beginner friendly!
Once your Cardstock Snake Plant is complete, place it in a stylish pot or vase and display it proudly in your home. It’s the perfect way to welcome the upcoming spring season! Also, make sure you check out our other Snake Plant.

Fantastic! Your plant looks great! I think we have about 200+ plant templates. . . make a friend for the snake plant? 🙂
This particular project was given to my daughter who says she cannot grow plants, lol.
I may just consider doing a couple more plants!
Paper plants are so fun. Our studio is like a paper plant greenhouse. 😉
FYI – On the template for this project, it’s titled “Felt and Iron On Wearable Fairy Wings”.
Oops! Fixed. 🙂
