Frosted Paper Sweet Potato Vine
Sweet potato vines are popular garden plants that comes in many different colors and shapes, from deep plum to neon green. Plenty of room to get creative! For our frosted paper sweet potato vine, Krista used three colors from our Stone Fruit pack to create the ombre effect these leaves typically have.
This leaf pattern is a fairly simple one to cut by hand, but we recommend using a cutting machine with our SVG file since there is a lot of cutting and scoring to do. If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can always use our printable template instead.

This frosted paper sweet potato vine makes such beautiful fall decor. Our tutorial will show you how to create individual stems for a potted arrangement, but you could also make long, continuous vines for a garland or table centerpiece. Along with assembling the vine, you will learn how to add more detail to your leaves by drawing on veins with a marker.

I have a problem with the cutting file. I am using the Cricut maker. Can I somehow separate the leaves, so that I have a group per leave? The leaves only fit on 12×12 inch paper, which is not available in my home country. I only have paper in DIN A4 size.
I just added a version that is ungrouped for you. Let me know if that works. 🙂
