Eucalyptus has long been cherished for its soothing scent and natural beauty. However, beyond its aromatic properties, eucalyptus carries deep symbolism. Traditionally, it represents healing and protection, making it particularly meaningful during winter when we often seek comfort and care. So, as we gather with loved ones, the graceful presence of eucalyptus serves as a reminder of the bonds we share and the nurturing warmth of home.
Creating your own Crepe Paper Seeded Eucalyptus is a satisfying foray into paper botanicals and we know you’ll love how these turn out! Though we consider this an intermediate project, we highly recommend a cutting machine to help speed things along. Just count all those little leaves as a labor of love – totally worth the effort in the end.
Once your pieces are cut, use floral wire to create long, elegant stems that mimic the grace of real eucalyptus. Next, secure each leaf with craft glue, and lastly don’t forget to sprinkle in some extra-fine crepe paper for those charming seeded details. After all, it's these little touches that infuse your creation with a sense of authenticity and warmth.
As you admire your beautiful creation, think about how you want to showcase your Crepe Paper Seeded Eucalyptus. Will it grace your dining table as a stunning centerpiece or elevate your favorite vase? No matter where it lands, your handmade stems will bring warmth, charm, and a sprinkle of nature’s beauty to your home this holiday season.
So, gather your materials, set aside some “me-time,” and let your creativity flow. We’d love to see how you style your Crepe Paper Seeded Eucalyptus in our crafters’ community or with #MadeWithLia on Instagram.

The materials call for Hansa Yellow Shade PanPastel. But, I don’t see it used in either the short video or on the picture directions. Thank you for your clarification.
Hi Ann you do not need the hansa yellow. I had intentions of using it to blend the red a bit but decided it was not needed!
Ok, thank you. I ended up using it a little on the top of the seeds to mute some of the red I got too far up. It worked well for that too.
Well, there you go! Genius!
Would it be possible to get more instruction on how to roll the little seeds. I don’t know why, but I’m not understanding this at all. Thanks
I’ll do my best! You will want to apply glue all over one side of the crepe paper, then begin rolling it over itself starting at the smaller end. Once you have rolled the entire length you will want to twist/roll the thinner bit of crepe that is at the base of the bulk of the rolled crepe…this will create the sort of stem of the seed. Now on top of the seed you will want to smooth out the roll to do this apply a bit more glue to the top of the rolled crepe, then pinch it together and press towards the center top of the seed. The glue should make the crepe paper malleable and able to be shaped, do your best to smooth out the top of the seed while the glue is tacky.
I am sooo excited about this one! Absolutely beautiful and realistic looking!
We need to make a video!! 🙂
