As crepe paper is gaining popularity, especially in the world of flower making, we have been asked so many questions about all things crepe paper. We decided to make this video to not only answer the questions we get most often about crepe paper but also share with you our love for this favorite craft material. So here it is — the 10 things to know about crepe paper!
NOTE: Since this video was filmed, we have refined our tools and material list, which you can find in the right hand column.
A prickly pear, Getting the the point
Beginner-intermediate. Stitches used: whip, ladder, straight stitch, and french knot. Also called a nopal or opuntia cactus - the fruit, flowers, and pads are all edible. We've made a few different varieties of cacti over the years, but this one is definitely the biggest! It has a wire structure and posts at the base, which you can then arrange into a pot with foam and covered with decorative stones. We made 3 cacti to arrange in a pot. The cactus pads are all lightly stuffed, then embroidered to create a slight tufted look. The fruits are embroidered and perched atop the cacti pads, and there's even a blooming flower.
