You’ll have the bessssst time crafting this

This painted crepe paper snake plant is such a fun one to get creative with. Plus it looks so realistic! Featuring sword-shaped, pointy leaves with variations of green stripes, Meagan’s tutorial will show you how to assemble and paint your leaves to resemble a true snake plant.

As always, you can use the crepe paper and paint colors we linked below, or use what you prefer. We’d love to see your version of this paper plant, so be sure to share photos on our crafter’s community page. Or post on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia. 

Skill level: Intermediate

Crafting tips: Use a stiff pant bush and blot the paint on to get more texture. Be sure your Mod Podge is fully dry before painting the leaves. You can make as many leaves as you wish to best fit the pot you have.
