There’s something very calming about having plants around the house – and no plant channels tranquillity quite so well as the simple succulent. With their plump leaves and delicate colours, they’ll help create a zen atmosphere in any home!
Sarah Jackman-Read has created these gorgeous paper versions, so you can make your own easy-care succulents that will look just as good as the real thing and last forever. They’ll make a great maintenance-free display for your home, as well as providing an interesting talking point among your guests. Download your free paper succulent templates to get started!
All you need to make these super-cute succulents is some coloured card, or if you don't have any the right shade - some white textured card that’s been painted in your chosen colours. Then just cut out the petal shapes, using our free templates, and attach them in layers for instant blooms!
We’ve displayed our plants in a stylish fishbowl vase, but there are lots of ways that you can use them to great effect – pop a single one in a terracotta or ceramic pot to give as a housewarming gift, attach clusters of succulents to a wreath for a pretty perpetual door decoration or use them to embellish a gift bag or box.
