Can these be made with crepe paper instead
Yes, you could though I would cut the pattern of each leaf in half, cut the crepe on an angle to get the V shape, then add a wire between the two halves to add strength. If I were making these from crepe I would use the double sided crepe.
So is there a way my Cricut Explore Air 2 can make the score lines with the SVG file and a scoring tool…? I am excited but new to the world of Cricut!
Yes there sure is! Cricut has some great videos on their YouTube channel showing how this all works.
