It is time to bring some spring and a touch of green into my decor! The first thing that comes to my mind is a diy paper topiary, after all it is the perfect way to bring some height to a vignette or add an element of nature to your dinning table, window ledge or mantle. I love that these pretty topiaries are so versatile, also perfect in wedding decor or at a baby shower. For me the trick to making it look like the live version is mixing the colors as well as folding the score lines. For the mix of paper colors I chose Nice mixture of Green Text Paper (check out below for for mixture of green papers used). You can find the step-by-step tutorial on my site. And or a nominal monthly fee sign up you can see all other crafts available to make!
Enjoy! ~ Lia

That is so cute. Time intensive and really cute. I knew it would be, and it was.

I love this topiary. Do you have a trick to make scoring go faster? I would like to make more but it
seems to take so long to score leaves.
Thank you for your tutorials!! You have such great projects!
