hello dear friends...
Today I wanted to share a little DIY. I've seen on the ever inspiring Pinterest these fun large paper palm leaves on floral arrangements and decor background, didn'tthink of making, but I made a little arrangement for the house and it needed "something" and what better than to try the fun paper palm and a DIY while I was at it, so lets go.
Materials:
paper bag, dowel, scissor, glue gun and twine (added last minute)
Since I needed a smaller version, I used some left over paper bags, medium size ones, open them, I used the front and side as one leaf so one bag makes two. Fold by the middle
On one end cut either oval or V shape, I did one of each
fold acordion style; start in the middle working outwards
make sure the other end is the same size, find the middle and add a dab of glue on every fold and put the dowel on the middle one
once the base is glued, I added at last minute some twine just to cover the glued part
and that is it, here is where I'm using it
I know, I know it's not the best photo, but it was late afternoon and it's the corner of my room, go figure, but I love the way it looks and definately need to try it bigger scale, so let's see what I come up with, lol.
Hope you like and do try it out and share.
