Go Fig-ure!

This frosted paper fiddle leaf fig plant is a great project for both the beginner and the intermediate paper crafter. Though our version is a tabletop size, you can experiment with making a larger plant by simply adding larger leaves at the base, which will also add height. If you are a more experienced crafter, you might be interested in making our larger crepe paper fiddle leaf fig plant.

When you are finished making your frosted paper fiddle leaf fig plant, we’d love to see your version and what you do with it! This is a beautiful plant to keep in your home, place on your office desk, or give as a gift.

Crafting tip: Gently shape the finished leaves by bending the wires, being careful not to wrinkle the paper. Then use your curling tool on the edges to add more shape.
