There is something about a trailing ivy that feels a little whimsical, which makes it a great project for this month’s craft collection. Designed by Meagan, our crepe paper English ivy plant features long vines made out of floral wire and lots of leaves attached with floral tape.

Our only plants are to make this ivy

This crepe paper English ivy is a great way to bring some greenery into your home that requires zero maintenance. Making it out of paper or felt also means you can control the size of it and how it looks. For example, maybe you want to add more vines and leaves, make longer (or shorter!) vines, or use a certain shade of green crepe paper.

As always, we encourage you to get creative with our DIY crafts! We’d love to see your version of this crepe paper English ivy, so make sure to share it with us by using #MadeWithLia on Instagram or posting photos to our crafters community page.

Skill level: Intermediate since there are a lot of pieces to attach 

Crafting tips: Make as many vines as you like to make your plant larger or smaller! To make longer vines, you can attach multiple 18-gauge wires together using floral tape.
