copper wire tropical leaf art

No matter what your decorating style is like, metallic accents are a great way to pull the look of your room together. These copper wire monstera leaves will brighten up your home a bit while also adding a little warmth. And you can even display them in a variety of ways. We placed ours in a dark gray frame to make the copper stand out and surrounded it with some bolder pops of color from our paper fan palm leaves. Another option is to make the stems longer and put them in a vase or hang them directly on your wall.

Not only are these copper wire monstera leaves gorgeous, but they are also very easy to make — and a fun project for kids to try, too! We would say that young crafters around the age of 10 could do this project on their own with some guidance from you if needed. Just print out a few templates to turn this project into a family activity, and then share everyone’s creations with us by emailing them to hello@liagriffith.com or tagging #MadeWithLia on Instagram or Facebook.

  4. Use the round nose pliers at sharper bends where you are not able to bend the wire using your fingers.
