Plants are too difficult to grow, so make them out of paper.

Corrie Beth Hogg likes to be in nature and is a veteran environmentalist. She hopes that her dark living room can also have a glimmer of life, but she does not know how to raise flowers and plants. Fortunately, she is clever and clever, and she can create all kinds of green plants she likes with paper. Let's take a look at the picture first:

The Green Plant family is all made of paper.

I was shocked to see Corrie Beth's work, it is so fresh and fresh that it can be confused with the real one. She often goes to the park to appreciate those beautiful trees, looking for inspiration to be used in manual creation, so that she can do it so vividly and with a full sense of beauty.

I don't know if you are deterred from seeing it. In fact, you can create such a beautiful green plant with just a few simple steps. Corrie Beth is generous in uploading his works to the Internet to share with you. According to the following steps, you can make a beautiful mirror grass in a little while.

You need: green paper jam, green tissue paper, scissors, flowerpot, green neutral pen, glue stick, cotton swab, knife, sharp-nosed pliers, hot melt glue gun, branch, sponge, 22 yards (diameter 0.71mm) wire wrapped into green, 18 yards (diameter 1.22mm) wire, gravel, brown tape.

1. Fill the sponge about 1 inch (2.54cm) from the top of the flowerpot. Make sure the sponges are tamped and do not move at will. If there is still a gap, seal it with duct tape.

two。 Cover the sponge with gravel. It's a good choice to go to the pet store to buy the kind you can put in the fish tank, because the stones will be smaller and there are many colors to choose from. But you can use whatever you want. Sand, confetti, moss land, or bigger pebbles, just choose what you like.

3. Cut some circles and oval shapes on the paper jam to act as leaves. You can fold the paper many times so that you can cut a lot of leaves at one time. There is no need to be too strict about the perfect shape of the leaves, cut a few more sizes, this is interesting.

4. Next, cut a knife on each leaf and cover the cut side of the leaf with glue with a cotton swab to create the shape of a shallow bowl. You need to press the glue for a few more seconds where there is glue to make it stick. If the final shape is a little strange, just wait for the glue to dry and trim it a little with scissors.

5. Add dots to the center of each leaf with a bright green neutral pen. Don't touch the handwriting until it is dry.

6. Use sharp-nosed pliers to twist a small ring on 22 yards of green wire, and when done, bend the ring perpendicular to the wire. This is used to make stems. The length of each stem should be 4-5 inches.

7. Apply a little bit of glue (even smaller than a pea) to the back of each leaf with a glue gun, and then quickly glue the stem (wire).

8. The next step is not necessary. I just think that doing it will make the back of each leaf look more perfect. Just cut out small circles with green tissue paper, glue them with a layer of glue, and cover them where you used a glue gun to connect the wire to the leaves. If you pursue perfection, you can also trim the extra area after gluing it.

9. Then, as shown in the picture, use 18 yards of wire as the trunk and tie these branches to the trunk. It's easier to tie them all in the same direction with brown tape.

10. You can decide the degree of closeness according to your preferences. Once you have done all the branches, you can gently shape the plants. Try to tilt the branches to the same side, concave them into an S-shaped shape, or cascading on one side of the disk is excellent.

11. Once the shape of the plant is set, the trunk can be inserted into the sponge base of the flowerpot. You can add some small leaves to the flowerpot to create a reproductive effect and make the pot look more real. Finally, now that it's all done, let's give it a name. What name will you take?

After reading it, I found that it was not as difficult as I thought. It would be better to try it with my children and give the family a touch of green. If you want to see more of Corrie Beth's works, move to her website: theappleofmydiy.com
