🌿How to Make Miniature Ivy Vines🌿

Miniature Ivy Leaves and Vines Tutorial

The most important part of this process: the creation of the specialty paper used to create the Miniature Ivy Leaves - and it is SUPER simple!

I call it my DIY Vellum Technique - and it has tons of uses! The translucence that results is perfect for simulating foliage for miniature work.🍁

Any electronic cutting machine will be capable of cutting the leaves, as long as it is capable of handling intricate cuts at TINY sizes.

The Secret Garden Diorama will be smothered with ivy, this is just the first stage of the greenery to be created...😉

Each sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper will yield over 1,000 ivy leaves in various sizes. 😱
