VIDEO: Crepe Paper Spring Greenery
When making crepe paper flower arrangements, I love to have a variety of greenery on hand to pick from. In this video workshop, you will learn how to make six different types of greenery. The varieties we have included are anemone leaves, salal leaves, ruscus leaves, myrtle leaves, daffodil leaves, and lily grass.
This video is for members only.

Unbeleafably greenery
When learning how to make crepe paper flowers, it is also essential to learn how to make the greenery that goes with it. This way, you can fill out your arrangement. You can watch the spring bouquet workshop, where I use these stems, ranunculus blooms, anemones, and double daffodils to create different spring arrangements. These are perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, or any spring occasion.
Cutting crepe for the greenery:
You can use the Juniper crepe paper from the anemone or ranunculus kits and the Juniper and Cypress from your Daffodil kit. You will want 6-12 stems of each of the six types of greenery. (See video on how to assemble).
Types of greenery:
Anemone leaves – cut from Juniper
Salal leaves – cut from Juniper
Ruscus branch – cut from Juniper
Myrtle branch – cut from Cypress and/or Juniper
Daffodil Leaves – cut from laminated Cypress and Juniper
Lily Grass – cut from laminated Cypress and Juniper
Double-sided greenery:
Create double-sided crepe paper with the fusible web, Juniper crepe paper, and Cypress crepe paper from the daffodil pack. You can review our Lamination Mini-Course for tips and tricks on creating the best results. Note: Do NOT add wire to the lamination as shown for the leaves in this video. Once cooled, cut the double-sided greenery template with this paper.

Back to the TopI love all the greenery, especially the myrtle. My machine is not able to correctly navigate the intricate cut where the narrow base of each tiny myrtle leaf attaches to the horizonal strip. The connection on each leaf is half severed before I remove the strip from the mat, and the gentlest touch detaches the leaves completely during or after assembly. I hate to inconvenience the team but…would it be possible to modify the template to give the leaves a more substantial connection to the strip?
I appreciate you all!
Thanks for pointing that out! I know Cricut can over cut sometimes, so I have edited the file to give more room for that. Let me know if that works.
How lovely! I’m going to try it today and I’ll get back to you.
Worked like a charm! Cricut still overcut but the wider base compensated, so no longer an issue. I used your Double Sided Ferns/Moss because I’m experimenting with applying matte Mod Podge to the leaves for a different finish from the other greenery in the project. I don’t want the horizontal strip to become stiff or too bulky to wind around the wire, so I won’t apply the Mod Podge there. This is very exciting! Thanks so much.
That is a great idea! Share photos.
