Because of the support youā€™ll receive in this Crepe Paper Italian Ruscus video workshop, we encourage all of our members to give it a try, regardless of skill level. In particular, Italian ruscus is known for its long, arching stems and evenly spaced leaves, which means your attention turns to clean construction and thoughtful placement. Here, the spacing matters. The angle matters. Together, these elements create the natural, flowing shape that makes ruscus so versatile. As you work, simple tools like floral wire, tape, and precision-cut leaves help you build stems that feel both lightweight and sturdy.

Within the Spring Garden Series, your Crepe Paper Italian Ruscus plays an important supporting role. For example, pair it with your Crepe Paper Icelandic Poppies to add fullness, or layer it behind focal blooms for added depth. Alternatively, let a few stems stand on their own for a minimal, modern look. As a result, it becomes one of those elements youā€™ll reach for again and again. In fact, you may find it becomes your go-to for softening arrangements or adding that final, polished touch.

Every arrangement needs a foundation. So, with that in mind, this Crepe Paper Italian Ruscus workshop gives you the greenery that ties it all together. As you follow along in Craft Academy, take your time with each stem, and notice how this greenery brings balance and cohesion to your designs.

Finally, when your Crepe Paper Italian Ruscus stems are ready, share them with us in our craftersā€™ community and on social using #MadeWithLia. Letā€™s make something beautiful together.
