crepe paper monstera artwork

Be-leaf in your artistic skills

In the past we have used everything from frosted paper to embroidery floss to copper wire for our monstera leaf artwork. And one time we even painted our own leaves! Now that we carry foam squares in our shop, we've been eager to use them — and they work perfectly for displaying our crepe paper monstera leaf within a frame.

For a fun, creative twist, we added a bright pop of pink to our framed crepe paper monstera leaf by spray painting the mat board and placing a darker shade of pink cardstock in the center. The vibrant colors make it feel more tropical, but you can also keep the background of your artwork more neutral. Or there is always the option to experiment with different colors!

We'd love to see what you do with this DIY craft, so be sure to share a photo in our crafter's community. Or use the hashtag #MadeWithLia on Instagram.

Skill level: Beginner

Crafting tip: Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before applying it to the other side. You can also make multiple leaves with longer stems if you prefer to add them to a vase or larger arrangement instead of creating the framed artwork.
