[Pro Tips] DIY Miniature Grass Tutorial

I promised I’d share a little tutorial on how I make my own miniature grass.

I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with my paper flower techniques, so I was pretty happy when I finally figured this one out! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’ll just show you the simple way I make it. If anything is unclear, just ask and I’ll be happy to explain! :heart:

You’ll need:

  • Green crepe paper
  • Water-based craft glue, preferably one that dries fairly quickly
  • Small, sharp scissors

  1. Prepare the paper

Cut a strip of crepe paper. Gently stretch it a little first — this makes the paper thinner and easier to cut.


  1. Make the grass

Fold the strip and cut lots of tiny strips along it, leaving one edge uncut. Once you’re done, gently pull the little strands apart.



  1. Glue it together

Add a thin line of glue along the uncut edge, fold/press it together and let it dry. Trim the bottom edge if needed.

  1. Make it thicker

Make several of these little grass strips and glue them together to create a fuller piece of grass.


  1. Trim!

Once everything is dry, simply cut and shape the grass until you’re happy with how it looks.

And that’s it! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
You can make it as short, long, thick or messy as you want.

Hope you like it :grin:
