Diy Faux Tropical Plant
By: Claire Armstrong from Pillarboxblue
Diy Faux Tropical Plant
"The other day when I broke my favorite Anthropologie mug, I didn't bin it. I upcycled it into a cute Boho wall vase. I then made this gorgeous faux tropical plant for it. This leafy plant is so easy to make. If you use thick Italian crepe paper it is easy to make the leaves look realistic. As the paper can be bent and shaped with your hands for a more authentic look. The other bonus is you don't need green fingers for this craft."
