We heart these topiaries

Who remembers our heart-shaped topiaries from a few years ago? Well today we have a brand-new design for you that I absolutely adore. Instead of using copper wire, Meagan used some natural vine wire to make these crepe paper heart topiaries. The leaf pattern is also very different and less uniform, giving them a bit more life and character.

Along with our leaf pattern, we have a video tutorial for you to watch. If you have any questions, just ask!

“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!” Vivian

Although we made these crepe paper heart topiaries for Valentine’s Day, I like the idea of using them as year-round home decor too. Personally I’m going to put them in my kitchen! But they would also look beautiful in a living room, dining room, or home office

To get started on this project, check out our tools and materials list. Then download our SVG file or printable template. Each download includes the leaf pattern and a heart to help you shape the vine wire once you have glued your leaves on.

Because there are so many delicate pieces and little leaves to cut, we recommend using a Maker or Silhouette Cameo 4 for this project. However, you can always cut your crepe paper by hand using our template. If you are using scissors, keep in mind this will make it more of an intermediate project, whereas with a cutting machine it will be a lot easier to make.

Crafting tip: Once you’re done crafting your crepe paper heart topiaries, you can make them different heights by simply cutting your vine wire shorter. We always like a little variety, but this part is up to you!

I cant get my Cricut Maker to cut through the double sided crepe paper. I’ve tried the crepe paper setting ( on More pressure) and the backed Felt setting on More pressure, and used both the light grip mat and the Medium grip mat. (The mats are almost new, and I have cleaned my rotary blade, which is relatively new).

Light grip mat and Default pressure works great on Fine Crepe.
I have yet to try cutting Heavy weight Crepe Paper.
Can you suggest appropriate settings?

  Hello Sharon! We have a cutting chart just for you. This includes all of the different types of crepe paper we use and the settings we use. You can find it in this Skill Course. Let me know if that works better. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-cricut-maker/

    Hi Lia-
    Thanks for the quick response. I am a new member and it is nice to have such quick answers to my questions.
    Do I have to take the course to get the chart? I couldn’t see where I could download the chart. I’ve been using my Maker for sometime now, and feel fairly confident in using it for paper crafts, which is all I’m interested in right now.
    Thanks!
    Thanks!

      Yes, you can get the chart here in this class. If you are new to cutting crepe and felt, we have a few good tips for that as well. If this link doesn’t let you in, just sign up for the free class and you can grab it.

I can’t see your video. I see a black rectangle that\t says “SORRY Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here. I’m running Win 11 with Google Chrome 109.0.5414.75 (64-bit). I can see and run it with MS Edge though.

  I think it is a setting on your server. Try Firefox or another server.

  We don’t use the Cameo so will not be able to help you with their software.
