Paper Vines: How to Make Paper Leaves and Vines
Paper Vine and Leaf Designs
Here is a quick round up like of my paper vine designs. Some of these are available individually while other are part of a flower design. Click each one for a link to the shop. Annnnd can you spot the free one?!
3 point leaf template. This template often comes with small flower designs but is not generally sold separately. Find it included here with our Classic Dahlia flower.
The 5 point leaf template. Again this template often comes with small flower designs but is not generally sold separately. Find it included here with our Carnation Design!
The giant rose leaf template comes with most all our top selling rose designs, including our number one selling rose Eden style.
This one captures all the tropical vibes! I loved designing this set and I think it’s definitely one of my favorites! Whole set available here!
The Freebie
Leafy vine template set. This one is the design I use to teach you how to do the vine veining in the video below. Download your freebie here to try it yourself!
The large basic leaf was my first ever leaf design. It comes with just about any of my flower designs that are not roses. It’s simple but perfect for backdrops.
Our long fern leafy vine was showcased in the Giant Dahlia tutorial that create a big wave of excitement on the blog. Find it by itself here!
My small fern leaf template is great to use with small designs like Ansley rose which is where you can find it!
I designed the round tip vine upon request. It will give you backdrop or arrangement a slightly classic farmhouse rustic appeal.
The whimsical vine is just that, whimsical. I love this one for backdrops because it makes nice swirling effect when a lot of them are added to a backdrop of large flowers.
And lastly I have this versatile set of leaves. A little of this and that. Like one big happy leaf family!
You might be tempted to just cut out a leaf or vine and stick it near your flower without doing anything else, but there is a real technique that can make your greenery more naturally realistic. Yes, of course I made you a video to show you! Make sure to grab our Paper Blooms shaping mat and tool set to create this fun effect!
Other techniques
The veining technique can be used on any leaf design even the basic one. Plus if you want to see how I do a simple fan fold technique, for giant leaves, like the image above click here!
