Join us in this Crafternoon workshop as we create long, flowing stems of English ivy using double-sided crepe paper. Together, we’ll cut each leaf, mark delicate veins with a shaping tool, and build flexible vines that naturally drape over bouquets, wreaths, and home decor. With some quality materials and standard making tools, you’ll have everything you need to bring your English Ivy Crepe to life.
English ivy has climbed stone walls and garden trellises for centuries. Because it continues to grow through the changing seasons, many gardeners also see ivy as a reminder of resilience and lasting beauty. It’s easy to see why designers turn to it again and again. A single hanging stem can soften structured arrangements, frame a favorite flower, or add a sense of antiquity and romance to even the simplest display.
Plants like this rarely stay in one place, and neither will their paper version. Let the vines twine in bouquets, spill from hanging baskets, or combine them with our other potted ivy projects to create fuller, more natural-looking displays throughout your home. Before long, you’ll find yourself reaching for a strand every time an arrangement requires a little extra movement.
We hope you’ll join us at our next Crafternoon and create alongside other makers as we bring this timeless greenery to life. When your Crepe English Ivy Foliage is ready to style, share your finished vines in our crafter community and on social media using #MadeWithLia.
