Because this project is a bit labor-intensive, we consider it an intermediate make. So if you’re looking for a craft that’s steady and accessible while building your crepe paper skills — we think you’ll enjoy this. Our Crepe Paper Button Fern features the plant’s signature rounded leaflets and gracefully arching stems, which together create gorgeous organic movement. Moreover, as you begin to work through the layers, you’ll see how repetition and subtle technique come together to create a piece that feels remarkably lifelike.

To support you every step of the way, this project also includes a detailed video tutorial that walks through the techniques used to construct each frond and assemble the branch. Watching this Crepe Paper Button Fern come together makes it easier to understand how small details — like spacing, curling, and tension — work together to create movement and realism. Overall, this is a project that gently stretches your skills without feeling overwhelming.

A particularly awesome characteristic of crepe paper greenery is its fabulous versatility. Use it as a stand-alone statement in a vase, layer it into a winter arrangement, or pair it with florals for added texture and depth. Our Crepe Paper Button Fern’s gentle curves and classic silhouette make it a timeless addition to your handmade greenery collection, so it's perfect for styling year-round.
