Hello everyone and wish you all a Happy and safe Diwali!
Today project is an exciting one. You see all those magazines having photos of home and you will always find an indoor plant in those sometimes more than once. Indoor plants give such a earthy look and makes the room feel fresh and nice. They sure look beautiful but sometimes became hard to take care of. Here is an easy DIY that you can make your own indoor plant, I hope you like it, keep on reading to learn how to make it.
SUPPLIES:
1.Green Fabric
2.Flexible wire
3.Green tape
4.Hot glue
5.Scissors
6.Glue/Modge podge
METHOD:
1. Use a flexible wire that can be bend easily, if your wire is too thin like mine then use two wire together. Wrap the tape around the string. I only wrapped it half way because the leaf with cover the other half of the wire.
2. Take a green fabric and cut out basic outline of the leaf no need to cut out the details now you can do it later, you can refer to a photo online on how you want your leaf to look like. The size, width, length and everything depends on you.
Cut two pieces of the fabric to make one leaf.
Remember every leave is different so experiment with their size and shape.
3. After you are done with cutting the leaf take one part of the leaf and stick the wire as its stem in the middle, later take the other part of the leaf and stick that as well. Use hot glue here as it sticks fast but you can use normal glue to do the same.
4. Stick both the pieces of the fabric together with glue and apply glue on top of the leaf as well. I used white glue here but any type of harder or even modge podge will work. Apply the glue in an angle upward direction from the stem to create some leaf texture, if you closely observe a real leave its veins are in upward direction so we are going to do same here. Apply good two to three layers of the glue on top of the leaf, apply one side at a time and let it dry and then apply the other side. Place a plastic sheet beneath as you can peel of the leaf from the plastic if it sticks to it. Let it to dry.
5. When it has dried fully even out the edges and cut out some slits in the sides to make the leaf look realistic also you can cut some holes in the middle.
Keep them in a fancy vase, decorate with some pebbles in it and it is ready to be placed in your place.
